Actress Billie Piper is to leave Doctor Who at the end of the current series.
I trust that David Tennant will be staying. You've got to have some continuity, doncha know?

(Ignoring the fact that humans are the only known paying viewers for the TV series, of course.)

Tennant's Doctor is a smidgeon too frivolous for me - if only we could ross him with Ecclestone.

Date: 2006-06-15 01:39 pm (UTC)I'm a bit sad though too - apart from the factv that romance is getting abit Ross/Rachel, I like having a young spunky independent companion - I hope we don't get some kind of opposite reaction next time.. Alsoif Rose dies will we have a grieving doctor for a season like Willow when Tara died. That would be odd, to say the least..
