RTD Teases Major Doctor Who Twist as Billie Piper Returns After Shock Regeneration

Press release:

As everyone said farewell to the 15th Doctor, they also got sight of a very familiar face as the Doctor regenerated and it was none other than Billie Piper…

Billie first appeared in the Whoniverse when Doctor Who returned to screens in 2005, as Rose Tyler, the much-loved Companion to the Doctor played by Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant. But just how and why she is back remains to be seen…

Speaking of the surprise twist, Russell T Davies adds: “Billie once changed the whole of television, back in 2005, and now she’s done it again! It’s an honour and a hoot to welcome her back to the TARDIS, but quite how and why and who is a story yet to be told. After 62 years, the Doctor’s adventures are only just beginning!”

Speaking of her return, Billie says: “It’s no secret how much I love this show, and I have always said I would love to return to the Whoniverse as I have some of my best memories there, so to be given the opportunity to step back on that TARDIS one more time was just something I couldn’t refuse, but who, how, why and when, you’ll just have to wait and see.”

Doctor Who is produced by Bad Wolf with BBC Studios for the BBC and Disney Branded Television.
