Badwolf is back!

David Tennant and Billie Piper as the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler in the second series of Doctor Who.

With Matt Smith still at the reigns of the TARDIS, many were sceptical of the return of Rose Tyler for the fiftieth anniversary of the cult science fiction show, Doctor Who. Fans were delighted, however, when they heard that the previous Doctor, David Tennant, as well as fan favourite, Billie Piper would in fact be returning for the 50^th Anniversary special that is airing this November, in 3D nonetheless.

Earlier on in 2012, Billie Piper, who played the companion Rose Tyler to Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant’s Doctors respectively, denied any claims that she would be returning for the special this year on the Graham Norton Show. “I wasn’t asked, no…” she replied in answer to whether she had been asked to return.

From 2005 to 2006, Piper graced our screens as the feisty, yet lovely companion. For two years she travelled through time and space, fighting daleks, cybermen, slitheen and even a werewolf. She left in the heart shattering episode, “Doomsday” in 2006, only to make a return two years later in the fourth series.

Filming for the 50th Anniversary special began this week on the 3rd of April. So far, Piper has not been spotted on set. Although David Tennant along with the tenth Doctor's TARDIS has been sighted, sparking speculation that it will be the tenth Doctor that Tennant will be playing, not the meta-crisis Doctor who was created in the fourth series finale, "Journey's End" and was living in the parallel universe with Rose Tyler. 

Along with Rose, the eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith), John Hurt and new companion, Clara Oswald (Jenna-Louise Coleman) are also scheduled to appear. 

Currently the seventh series of the newly revamped Doctor who, which began airing in 2005, is halfway through with the eighth episode, "The Rings of Akhaten" airing on ABC2 at 7:30pm on Sunday the 7th of April.
