Miss Tyler, I presume

BBC Cult seem to be firmly behind the appointment of ex-popstrel Billie Piper to the part of Rose Tyler, companion in the new series of Doctor Who. Not only is she plastered across the front page, but they've got a whole section of the site devoted to her. Including a gallery. Admittedly a lot of it's links to stuff about her elsewhere on the BBC, and some of the links are only tangentially related, but I'd rather see Christopher Ecclestone - the actual Doctor - get that sort of coverage.

In a surprising twist, Tachyon TV in actual accurate news reporting shock:
Billie Piper is the hot favourite to take the role of Rose Tyler, the Doctor's new companion. When asked why she was going for the role she is reported to have said "because I want to."

(UK-only joke! Ha!)

Journalists around the world have been waiting to use that line on Billy.

I suspect Cult are repeating the mantra 'she won't be shit, she won't be shit' in order to make it true...
