I have to say, that I’m pretty excited about this new companion and at the prospect of next Christmas’ episode having no companion at all. Maybe Captain Jack will make an appearance…

Billie Piper to leave Doctor Who

Billie Piper to leave Doctor Who

I’m probably part of a minority when I say that I’m kind of glad that Billie is leaving. At least amongst the newer Doctor Who fans. It just seems to me that her character, Rose, makes the Doctor stupider somehow. Which is random and crazy and stuff.

I guess it doesn’t help that, for a while at least, Rose was Russell T. Davies’ Mary Sue.
