Last night fans that live near Doctor Who's filming locations got photographs of what must be the biggest surprise return to the show: Billie Piper is back.
After the fans' gossip was picked up this morning by UK newspapers, the BBC announced that it's true, adding that Billie "will star in three episodes of the drama, reprising her role as the Doctor's companion, Rose Tyler".
So yes, there will be three companions next year and they are all expected to overlap: Billie Piper, Freema Agyeman and Catherine Tate. It'll be the first time the Doctor has travelled with three companions at the same time since 1983 when Peter Davison was in charge of the Tardis.
