No Who spinoff for Piper
by Doc on Aug.22, 2006, under Television
Apparently, the BBC actually commissioned and budgeted a spinoff series of Doctor Who to start Billie Piper, called Rose Tyler: Earth Defence – but writer/producer Russell T. Davies scuttled the idea. Torchwood, the previously announced spinoff starring John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness, is still moving forward and should air this fall on BBC3.
