Doctor Who bosses are apparently keen to bring back Billie Piper to play the role of sidekick Rose Tyler if a big-screen version of the tv series goes ahead.

An inside source told the Daily Star: “There’s been so much interest in Doctor Who since the show was sold to America that a film is the natural progression.”

“Top of our list is to get Billie on board. Not only was she amazingly popular, it would be really exciting to get her back with the Doc.”

Billie quit the show earlier this year after two series.
