Sorry if this has already been mentioned but Billie Piper is to be replaced by Jennifer Ellison according to today's Daily Star although we all know how reliable their source can be Wink

Saw this on the frontpage of the Star. I don't believe a word of it. Not even Russell T Davies would scrape the barrell that far down. Not just because of Ellison herself, but storytelling wise, it would be crap to replace a working class blonde girl with .....a working class blonde girl...

How about ex-Eastenders pop tart Scarlett Johnson (aka Vicki Fowler) as a Ace / Susan type character - less streetwise than Rose but still with the ability to do more than just scream?

Failing that how about Eliza Dushku?

Here's a screamer! How about a MALE companion? Shocked

Also how about one who isn't a school boy. Something like Harry Sullivan only with less sideburns.

Yes this episode was the best so far. Possibly better than some of the classics like Talons of Weng-Chiang.

Yes Daily Star has been wrong several times before & I do doubt it, I can't see them replacing Rose with the same character but with a scouse accent.

Quick flash for any BBC WM listeners, even ONLine !

Colin Baker's being interviewed by Ed Doolan at 12pm today!

(It will be repeated, but when I'm not sure, but it will be a Friday night though!)

in addition to my previous posts re story locations

OK - now DW is not just content with being on Earth for every other episode, besides "Dalek" it's either Cardiff or London. Couldn't the Slitheen survivor been mayor of...oh I don't know...Berwick upon Tweed? If you can make Cardiff look like London (almost) then you can certainly make it look like a Scottish/English backwater.
