Long rumoured, now confirmed...

Hmm...

Auntie's website confirms that Billie Piper aka Mrs Ginger Tosser will play the Doctor's assistant, Rose Tyler when Doctor Who returns to the Beeb early in 2005.

The jury is still out, but the judge is scuffling around looking for the black cap.

unique, dynamic partner for Christopher Eccleston
Billie is beautiful, funny and intelligent

So obviously there must be a second Billie Piper that we've never heard of. They can't mean that talentless hag, after all.

Actually I could see her doing ok with that - after all, the Doctor's assistants do have a tradition of being wooden brainless bimbos.

Oh I don't know, about time an assistant wasn;t rescued in the nick-o time and got spit-roasted...

Have you actually seen her act in anything? She's actually not bad. Bearing in mind the *ahem* abilities of some of the actresses in the past you should try and keep the faith brother.

As for that comment about Spit-Roasting, thats more a 'Red Hot Dutch' Dr Who than I remember!

I have to admit that since I made the original post, I've been wondering whether I was just damning her by association...

I have decided to take your advice and wait and see how she does the job.

I still don't like the Ginger Tosser, though. ;-)
