Not yet quite convinced by Karen (or Rory). Billie Piper has been by some margin the best assistant since the revival.
As for Martha, if there was a desire to cast an actress of colour there are some splendid black actresses out there and I am sure many more waiting to be discovered. So I don't quite get it, or why she remains in work (other than perhaps the ignorance and laziness of casting directors.)
