Hehehehe... Ben's going "kill, kill, kill, kill...." (etc) every time he hears the news. He's always liked Dr Who and I don't think this news has impressed him one bit.

I'm just gutted by the news - as you can probably tell! Billie Bloody Piper! That's almost as bad as that rumour that was flying around last year that Buffy was going to carry on with Holly Valance in the lead role! At least we all knew that one was a joke... but this?!!

Sorry, I'll stop ranting now...

*Billie Bloody Piper* grumble grumble...

I don't think I've seen her. Is she really that bad?

Mind you, the description of her career and of the character of Rose wasn't greatly inspiring.

Why can't they have a good strong character in the assistant role?

She's Billie Piper. She is that bad....

gah!

I was talking to Matt about this at lunch and we were both saying that it might still work so long as they don't attempt to take it seriously, that may well be part of the reason they've brought in the modern day Bonnie Langford and if that's the case then it might be worth it. But if they are seriously thinking she is going to be able to carry it off in a serious fashion? Again I say Gah!

Hmph. In that case, I see your 'gah' and raise you a 'ptui!'

Let's hope they kill her off quickly.

Let's hope they kill her off quickly

... and painfully - perhaps even repeatedly.

*grin*

No, no, not repeatedly! That would mean they'd have to bring her back inbetween times! Once. Quickly. And soon!

They could do a little time-loop thing for five minutes or so, have her death be even more painful every time they bring her back. I think I could stand a few extra minutes of her on screen if that was the case...
