…I know that both myself and Ross are pleased at punch at the news that Billie Piper will be returning to “Doctor Who” for a trio of episodes in the currently-filming fourth season.
Unsurprisingly, Piper will be reprising her role of Rose Tyler, who served as the Doctor’s assistant during Seasons 1 and 2 but scored an easy out when Rose was transported into a parallel universe from which there was no escape. Well, supposedly no escape, anyway. I’m looking forward to finding out what scientific gobbledygook they’ve come up with to escape how she made it out…but, then again, I started getting excited about the new season the moment I heard that Kylie Minogue would be guest-starring on the Christmas special.
Unfortunately, I’ll have to stay excited ’til 2008; beyond the Christmas special, the actual Season 4 doesn’t premiere in March in the UK, but there’s no word on when the Sci-Fi Channel will begin its airing of the season. (You can bet it won’t be ’til late in the year, though.)
