According to the BBC, plans for a DOCTOR WHO spinoff show which would have starred Billie Piper has been scrapped.

Piper played Rose Tyler in the show, but left at the end of the second season.

"It was actually commissioned by the controller of BBC One and budgeted," series creator Russell T Davies told Doctor Who magazine, according to a report on the BBC Web site. But Davies later decided that the show, Rose Tyler: Earth Defence, was "a spinoff too far" and called it off.
