Freema banned from 'Torchwood' sex scenes
Freema Agyeman will not be involved in any sexy scenes when she appears on Torchwood for a three-episode stint.

The actress's character Martha Jones will join Captain Jack and his team on the Doctor Who spin-off, before making her "triumphant return" to the main show.

Executive producer Russell T Davies has revealed that Martha is banned from any saucy storylines on the post-watershed show - because he doesn't want to destroy the character's image.

"You have to respect the fact that she is still a Doctor Who character," Russell is quoted by the Daily Star as saying. "There is no sex or swearing with her in Torchwood because there will be kids watching.

"It's fine for Torchwood's Gwen to be doing it. But we sat there with a script and were literally taking swear words out of Martha's lines."
