Yep, you read that right, and no, we haven’t got confused. While Agyeman did reprise her Doctor Who role as companion Martha Jones for Torchwood, rather than star as a new character, technically she still qualifies for this list because she’d previously played someone else entirely in Doctor Who – Torchwood One worker Adeola, who was brainwashed by the Cybermen.

As was later revealed, Adeola was a cousin of Martha, so this reappearance at least makes total sense.
