"Along Came Polly" was a romantic comedy. Jennifer Aniston's character was an off the wall foil for Stiller's buttoned up insurance man.

It received an MTV Movie Award nomination for Best Dance Scene, and a Razzie nomination for Ben Stiller as Worst Actor.

They are all names of characters in Doctor Who.

Astrid appeared in the Christmas special of 2007 "Voyage of the Damned". She was played by Kylie Minogue.

Donna Noble was played by comedienne/actress Catherine Tate. She first appeared in one scene of the last episode of the 2006 series, entitled "Doomsday". She reappeared in the Christmas special of 2006 "The Runaway Bride". Donna joined The Doctor as his companion for the 2008 series.

Jamie (James Robert McCrimmon) appeared on the show from 1966-1969. He was an 18th century piper and wore a rather fetching kilt. He was played by Frazer Hines. However, at one point during filming Frazer Hines contracted chickenpox. The storyline was altered to accommodate a change of face and actor Hamish Wilson took over for a while.

Jackie was the mother of Doctor Who's companion Rose Tyler. She was played by Camille Coduri. Jackie was a widow and Rose was her only child, so it was no surprise that she had ambivalent feelings towards The Doctor for taking her daughter away on dangerous adventures.

Martha (Dr Martha Jones) was The Doctor's companion in the 2007 series. Her character decided to leave The Doctor because of her unrequited love for him. She was played by Freema Agyeman and made several guest appearances in the 2008 series.
