There is a Doctor Who Series Four Spoiler underneath the cut. Click it and be spoiled, m'kay?
Billie Piper is to return to Doctor Who Billie Piper is to return to Doctor Who, the BBC has confirmed.
She will star in three episodes of the sci-fi drama, reprising her role as the Doctor's companion, Rose Tyler.
Rose's return will mean the Doctor has three assistants in next year's series - Donna, played by Catherine Tate, and Freema Agyeman as Martha.
The new series begins in March and will run for 13 episodes. There will be three special editions in 2009 before the show takes a break until 2010.
*weeps with joy*
Thank you, oh thank you, random gods of fandom or RTD or whoever the hell I need to thank. Rose Tyler did not have her head cut off and shoved in a box, but her departure at the end of Series Two ripped out my heart and made me fall out of love with Who for the second time in my life.
I know that a heap of folks on my flist will be jumping with joy and a fair few will being thinking, "Uh, does not want." This is totally fine with me. This is *my* reaction to a piece of news that has made me very, very happy.
*takes deep breath*
Now, all I need to do is get TPTB to write that the head in a box belonged to the Morgue Lady and have JKR's Epilogue of Doom unwritten, and I'll be a happy fangirl. Hee.
