Fans of David Tennant (The Tenth Doctor) and Billie Piper (Rose Tyler) will be thrilled to hear that, if the latest tabloid speculation is to be believed, they will be reunited once more - this time on the big screen in a brand new murder thriller!

The news was brought to light by The Daily Mail earlier today, and the report suggests that the film, called Love On The Murder Mile, will be directed by Piper’s real-life husband, Laurence Fox, and produced by his brother, Robin Fox.

Mackenzie Crook, of The Office and Pirates of the Caribbean fame, and Matthew Rhys, best known for his role in US family drama Brothers & Sisters, have also signed up to co-star.

The movie is written by Johnny Glynn and has been described as an urban thriller which is set in London. We’ll bring you more news as and when we get it – stay tuned!

Billie Piper appeared on Radio 1 earlier today (Thursday) where she spoke to Sara Cox about the new series of Secret Diary of a Call Girl, and, of course, her time as Rose Tyler. During the interview she added yet more fuel to the fire regarding a possible Doctor Who film!

When asked if there was any truth behind the speculation, the actress, rather suprisingly, said: “Well, I’ve heard that they’re doing it and that they want David to do it, but I think he’s slightly anxious that there’ll be big American producers on board and that they’ll try and hijack the whole thing and cast someone like Johnny Depp.”

However, she cooly denied that she would be appearing in it herself, labelling her sudden outbreak of laughter as ‘a nervous twitch’, before insisting: “I don’t know!”

A movie has been on the cards for years now, however the rumours were rekindled last May when ‘DR WHO – THE MOVIE’ briefly appeared on the agency profile for Russell T Davies, and then, a week later, BBC Films announced that the script for a feature-length adventure was ’in development’. Does Billie know more than she’s letting on? Make of it what you will!

In a new interview with DigitalSpy released today, Billie Piper has revealed that the atmosphere was ‘weird’ when she filmed her short scene as Rose Tyler for The End of Time - because she had no idea what the rest of the episode was about!

“I didn’t have a full script and I had to do it in three hours,” she said. ”It was after filming Secret Diary of a Call Girl in the day and it was too short! I wish I’d been there for the whole episode – but that would have been a bit tedious!”

She continued: “I hate it that [David] has left, but then I know Matt Smith really well and I love him and I think he’s such a brilliant actor. The role couldn’t have gone to a better guy. He’s capable of that. He’s got big shoes to fill, but I’m certain he can do it.”

She said of a return in the future: “I think it’s done now, that ship has sailed. That old, wooden ship! I really loved doing it, but Doctor Who has moved on, and I can’t keep going back. It’s ridiculous! It’s time to move on.”

The actress recently made similiar comments regarding a comeback while speaking to The Independent.

In a new interview with The Independent, actress Billie Piper has revealed that she’s doubtful she’ll ever be back in Doctor Who as Rose Tyler.

“It’s a healthy time to leave. Our period on Doctor Who is over now really, isn’t it?” she told the website. ”It’s shifted. The writers are different, the production team are different, and the Doctor is different.”

She added: “I can’t keep reappearing. It would just become sad. If I were still reappearing when I was 50, people would say, ‘Oh no, not you again!’”

Catherine Tate has also previously confirmed that there are no plans for Donna Noble to make a comeback in the future.

Birthday wishes go out on this day to Billie Piper, the actress who portrayed the Doctor’s companion, Rose Tyler, in Series 1, 2 and 4 of Doctor Who!

Rose was introduced to fans when the series was revived back in 2005, and Billie’s portrayal of the shopgirl-turned-Earth-Defender won the heart of the nation as she travelled throughout the Universe alongside the Doctor’s Ninth and Tenth incarnations. But they were separated at the end of Series 2, seemingly forever, however she made a short-lived but much-publicized return at the end of last year’s series, and she’ll be back for a third time in a short cameo appearance in this year’s upcoming Christmas specials!

Billie is celebrating her 27th birthday – join us at WhovianNet in wishing her a wonderful day!

Doctor Who fans up and down the land rejoiced last night (we personally screamed for hours and played Because We Want To at the highest volume possible!) when Billie Piper was spotted on set filming scenes for David Tennant’s last episodes!

The actress was pictured filming in South London as Rose Tyler, with Camille Coduri, who plays her mother, Jackie. They were shooting scenes at the location used for their council estate, the Powell Estate, in Series 1 and 2.

David Tennant was also spotted on set, and while crew members asked fans who were lucky enough to watch the filming first hand to refrain from taking pictures and posting what they saw online, we’ve managed to put together a short description of what we think was going on. Highlight below to reveal, but please be aware that it contains HUGE spoilers for the Tenth Doctor’s regeneration story…

• Based on what has been posted online, we can safely assume that the scenes being shot with Billie aren’t set in the present day, and dialogue that was heard suggests that it’s instead set in 2005 (January 1st 2005, perhaps?) - before Rose had even met the Doctor
• One of the scenes filmed featured the Doctor and Rose, and saw the Doctor ‘clutching onto the wall in apparant distress’ (has his regeneration started?), and Rose walking over and asking ‘You alright, mate?’, which just about confirms that in this particular scene, Rose has no idea who the man is!

Whatever’s going on, it’s certainly all very exciting, and it’s clear that Russell is pulling out all the stops to make both his and David’s last episode the biggest and most intriguing to date…

As always, feel free to share your own theories and ideas about Rose’s scenes below, but stay away if you don’t want to be spoiled! You have been warned!

…Is it December yet?

Matt Smith has turned to his previous co-star Billie Piper for advice on how to play the Doctor, The Daily Star Sunday reports.

Smith, who will become the Eleventh incarnation of the Time Lord when David Tennant leaves the show later this year, is said to be ‘panicked’ at the thought of taking on such an iconic role.

Piper, who played the Doctor’s companion, Rose Tyler, in Series 1, 2 and 4, has told the newspaper that she’s more than happy to help out her old friend.

“He called me and said ‘What am I going to do?’” she said.

But the actress has told him that he doesn’t need any acting advice, so instead she’s sharing some tips on how to manage the publicity demands that come with the show.

“Your life completely changes as it’s such a huge show, just about the biggest show on TV,” she continued. “I had no idea what I was getting into. It’s frightening being in that kind of production and having people suddenly know everything about you. He’s just about to embark on that.”

She added: “But I’m a big fan of Matt. He’s a stirring actor and has the right energy for the part of the Doctor. The role is in good hands.”

Filming for the fifth series of Doctor Who will begin in Cardiff this July.
