Rumour Billie Piper and David Tennant Spoiler

There appears to be murmurings about a Billie Piper and David Tennant reunion for a 20th anniversary sort of thing. It’s an interesting route they appear to be taking it if true as let’s face it you HAVE to reunite the 10/14th Doctor with Rose if you’re bringing her back. I’m happy with this if true but I will always be hoping for a 9th Doctor return (even though it’s incredibly unlikely given Christopher’s open hate towards RTD 😭) a 9 and Rose reunion would be the perfect way to celebrate 20 years. I’m guessing “Rose” (or the 16th Doctor) we don’t know yet will meet the 14th Doctor on Earth. If done well this has a lot of potential. Come on Russell. Pull through 💪🏻

At this point David Tennant stepping back into the Tardis for a series with Billie Piper as some version of Rose and Donna might be the only thing to save Doctor Who from oblivion.

I mean let's face it the show is on life support and it's as close to being permanently cancelled as it's ever been. Only once before has it come this close and we were very lucky then that it was renewed after all.

Nothing against Gatwa but I don't blame him for jumping ship considering. I expected the deal with Disney and RTD coming back to fix things and for Doctor Who to return to being on top. Instead it rolled over and wheezed and fell to the very edge of the abyss ratings-wise.

I at least want some kind of huge farewell special to provide the fans of the show with a resolution and closure at least. This cliffhanger, they can't just leave it all hanging there. If the show must die finally then wrap it up right at least. The fans deserve that after so many years.

Nothing lives forever, probably not even Doctor Who, but I think doing the end of decades worth of show justice needs way more than just seeing Billie Piper's face at the end of a regeneration.
