Doctor Who Star Billie Piper has rubbished rumours that she is exterminating her contract by sigining a £200,000 deal for the second series. The News
Of The World reveal that Billie is staying on as Rose Tyler to help David Tennant, as the new Doctor, take on the daleks once
more!
A BBC spokesman said, 'Billie has great talent, she really loved filming the last series and
was desperate to carry on. She was as shocked as the next person when she saw reports that she had quit.'
News of her departure caused panic among fans on Monday when Sci-fi mag Dreamwatch said that
she would only be appearing three episodes of series two. But the News Of The World says it can confirm that Billie will stay
for the whole series, which starts filming in Wales in July.

The search is on for a fiery beauty to replace Billie Piper as Dr
Who's assistant.
Auditions began last week and TV bosses are keen to sign a dark-haired girl with a posh accent.
Billie,
22, has revealed she wants to bow out as Rose Tyler during the second run. She is likely to appear in just a handful of next
year's 13 instalments.
Her decision comes after Christopher Eccleston said he was quitting as the Time Lord after just
one series.
Billie's replacement will appear alongside Casanova star David Tennant, who has clinched a £450,000 deal to
succeed Eccleston.
An insider said: "They're looking for a brunette who is sophisticated but feisty. Most of all she must
ooze sex appeal and have good legs - because they plan to put her in short skirts."
Actresses in the running include Michelle Ryan, Zoe Slater in EastEnders.
Rachel Stirling, daughter of Diana Rigg. Rose Byrne, starred alongside David in Casanova. Loo Brearley, played Roxy in Casualty. Lisa Hogg, former Brookside actress. Rebecca Clarke, who has appeared in Crossroads. Olivia Lee, Television presenter and former S Club 7 singer Rachel Stevens.

David attended the opening night of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman at the Lyric
Theatre at the weekend.
At the after show party held at The Atlantic Bar in Piccadilly, he was quizzed by journalists
from The Times. When asked if he agreed with the controversial censoring of the new Doctor Who DVDs because of cruelty
to Daleks, he replied diplomatically: “Please don’t ask me anything difficult.”
23/05/2005, 16:28pm GMT
All the papers are running the story that Billie Piper has quit
Doctor Who and will not be appearing as David's assistant for the whole of the new series. The above photo was taken from
The Daily Star and the following report comes from Ananova:
It's not going well for Doctor Who - after another big name decides
to quit the show. This time, it's the glamorous Billie Piper -
who plays the Doctor's sidekick Rose Tyler - who's moving on. It
seems that the TV series has helped further her acting career and now she wants to get involved in other projects. A BBC insider told The Sun: "Billie's really proved herself as an actress in
Doctor Who and she's been bombarded with offers of work both in England and in America." "Billie will feature in some of the second series. But her character Rose won't be the Doctor Who companion at the
end of it. "It's a nine-month hard slog filming, Chris and Billie
were knackered. It's claimed that she could appear in just three
episodes of the new series, which begins filming in July, but programme bosses hope she'll stick around for seven.
David Tennant is taking over from Christopher Eccleston for the
new series, after Chris made the decision to quit at the end of March.

New Doctor Who David Tennant wants to be the first Time Lord to
wear the kilt.
The Paisley-born actor, 33, said it was time the character had a new dress code.
Tennant, who wore full
Highland dress to the TV Bafta awards, was forced to hide his Scots accent to play the legendary lover Casanova in the recent
hit BBC series.
But he has said the 10th Doctor will definitely be Scots.
Last night, he said: 'I would love to be the
first Time Lord to wear a kilt.
'And I intend to speak with a full Scottish lilt when I make it into the Tardis.'
David,
the son of a Church of Scotland minister, will replace Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor for the show's Christmas special
and follow-up series next year.
The kilt promises to become as well-known as former Doctor Who Tom Baker's multi-coloured
scarf.
David said: 'Taking over from Chris is a daunting prospect. He has done a fantastic job and is a very tough act
to follow.'
David is to start filming in Cardiff in July.
10/05/2005, 12:36pm GMT
David Tennant has had a busy year. Since starring in the critically
acclaimed drama series, Casanova, Tennant has signed on to take over from Christopher Eccleston in Doctor Who for the next
series and has just wrapped time on Harry Potter And The Goblet of Fire. We pulled the actor aside last night at the European
Premiere of Kingdom of Heaven to catch up on wizards and daleks.
"I'm playing Barty Crouch Jr. in the new Harry Potter
film," he told us, "it should be good. I think I've done all my stuff, as far as I know, but I'm really looking forward to
seeing it."
Onto more meaty matters, we were keen to gauge Tennant's impressions on Tardis-hopping as the new Doctor Who.
"It's very exciting and very daunting," he told FilmFocus, "in equal measures. Just the amount of attention it gets is quite
overwhelming. But there's no better show in the world. We start shooting in July."
The current Doctor, Christopher Eccleston,
ends his time with a Christmas special that will likely introduce Tennant. But the actor told us he had no plans to try and
outdo Eccleston's Doctor. "Christopher Eccleston was brilliant, I will put my own mark on the part, but there is no
competition".

Little Britain star David Walliams is to
write an episode of Doctor Who.
Doctor Who producers apparently decided that Walliams' sense of humour would be perfect
for the show. He will write an episode for the next series, which will see David Tennant taking over from Christopher Eccleston
in the role of the Doctor.
Walliams, who has been linked romantically with Patsy Kensit, Abi Titmuss, Denise Van Outen
and Jayne Middlemiss, has even taken Billie Piper out to dinner to find out more about her character, Rose Tyler.
"Russell
T. Davies, the chief scriptwriter, is a massive fan of Little Britain," a source told the Sunday Mirror. "He was impressed
by the fact David's comedy writing is always full of really original ideas.
"David jumped at the chance and is taking it
very seriously."

The next Doctor Who could be jumping in his Tardis and landing in Paisley this Christmas.
The Paisley Daily Express
understands that Paisley-born actor David Tennant, who has just been confirmed as the next Time Lord for the popular BBC show,
is to be invited to switch on the town’s festive lights.
Yesterday, town centre bosses were remaining tight-lipped
about the possibility of the soon-to-be mega-famous thespian flicking the switch at the Christmas ceremony.
But one insider
said: “David Tennant is definitely going to be invited to do this.
“We are just hoping he will be free and
will be able to come up.
“He’s bound to attract huge crowds, not just from Paisley but from all over the country.
“It
could be a huge event. He has become so well known after his hit television drama Blackpool and more recently Casanova.”
David,
a former pupil of Paisley Grammar, has been making a name for himself over the past few years in a number of successful television
and film dramas.
But scooping the role of Doctor Who means his career will launch into the big time.

Classic BBC TV police drama Dixon of Dock Green is to make a comeback -
but this time as a series on Radio 4. The show will star Lawless actor
David Calder as George Dixon and Casanova's David Tennant as Andy Crawford. A
series of six programmes will be broadcast in June and will be based on the original TV scripts. The
BBC One series, starring Jack Warner, ran from 1955 to 1976 and was one of the most popular shows of its day, watched by over
14 million people. Set in the East End of London, Dixon of Dock
Green focused on the everyday routine tasks of local police, troubled mainly by low-level crime. Compared
to contemporary police dramas, the show was gentle and slow-paced, summed up by the comforting central character of Dixon
with his catchphrase "Evenin' all".
Dixon was a pillar of his community, honest to the core, firm but fair.
The end of every episode saw him standing beneath the police station's
lamp giving his thoughts on the day before walking off and whistling. The
series was the creation of writer Ted Willis and was voted the second most popular show on TV in 1961.
Ratings for the show began to drop off by the end of the 1960s, when a more
aggressive style of police drama was becoming the norm. Jack Warner carried on acting until the late 1970s. He died in 1981.

David has been linked with a whole load of lovely ladies this week,
the latest being Louise Delamere, star of Channel 4's No Angels. The pair attended the premiere of Kingdom Of Heaven in the
West End earlier this week, but whilst there he also had to fight off the attentions of Emmerdale beauty Amy Nuttall.
Amy, who told her pals that she thought David was 'very attractive'
decided to make a play for him, but unfortunately he didn't know who she was and the whole thing ended up being a bit embarrassing.
Her friends told The Daily Star 'David wasn't rude he just didn't know who she was. Her advances where met with just a polite
shrug of the shoulders.'
Earlier this month David was linked to Cutting It actress Sarah
Parish, with whom he appeared in the BBC drama Blackpool, but he says he is too busy for romance at the moment, adding
that he takes his close female friends to celebrity events as that sort of stuff is new to him an he feels very conspicuous
alone.

Sorry this is so late, but I have only just found out that David appeared
in a live version of the Quatermass Experiment on BBC4 last month. It was a two hour live broadcast and apparently David skidded
over whilst running down a corridor! Ooops! Here's what www.bbc.co.uk have to say:
As part of TV On Trial, BBC Four is recreating a cult classic, first transmitted
live in 1953 and since lost in the archives. In the BBC Four version, to be performed live, Jason Flemyng stars as Professor
Bernard Quatermass, whose attempts to push back the frontiers of space lead to terrifying consequences. When a rocket returns
from its mission with only one of the crew still alive it soon becomes clear that something is terribly wrong...
