Martha Jones Tribute - Shakespeare's Sonnet18(Doctor Who MV)

My tribute to the awesome, charming, gutsy, smart, beautiful and generaly made of win Martha Jones (superbly played by Freema Agyeman), set to Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 (after all, he wrote it just for her, so it's only fitting), sung by David Gilmour. Footage of Martha from Doctor Who season 29(3) owned by BBC.

For those curious as to what exactly Will wanted to say to his Dark Lady in Sonnet XVIII:
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

I don't know who Martha Jones is nor do I watch Dr Who, however this is a wonderful clip obviously put together with love. The music is superb - never have the Bard's words sounded more beautiful. Thank you for creating and sharing it!

[ladymajavader]

judiavi, this is the most generous and lovely comment I have ever seen! Thank you for appreciating labour of love, however flawed, and over the barriers of fandom too.

Wait, I just started reading Shakespeare's sonnet sequence in class... If Martha's the Dark Lady, does that make the Doctor Shakespeare's beloved young man? Just kidding! Don't want to take it too far, now do we? LOL!

Martha Jones will always be my favorite companion of the Doctor's,

@Janiqua  I think the young man was Jack; probably visited when he was a Time Agent.

From 0:36 to 0:44, what episode of doctor who is that from?

[Sennettfan]

Hi there! It was a mini-version of the Muppets for Nickelodeon, with two worms. Very cute! You might catch repeats of it I guess. A very nice experience indeed

[mediaescapee]

What was the show or can you not say as I would love to see the other work she is doing apart from Law and Order. She's one of my fave actors.

[Sennettfan]

I'm a writer/ director, and hoping to work with her again very soon. What a talent! I work with so many who aren't charming OR competent, F.A. was a real gem, no question.
