Lol...I love all those programmes...and more! Although at the moment the only decent thing on is Robin Hood, because Casualty has gone way downhill since all the good characters have gone, Doctor Who's not on again until Christmas, I keep forgetting to tape the Dead Zone and I've no idea if Sea of Souls will ever be back on, so...my DVD collection is rapidly on the increase again, lol

Here in Belgium I've become somewhat addicted to American shows that are broad casted here. Like The Apprentice, but the American one with Martha Stewart lol That's how desperate my TV situation is lol Plus the shows are only on at like 2am!

From television I especially like Smallville(not really a die-hard superman fan I just like it) Futurama and the Simpsons...There's other series but I don't follow them as much as the ones mentionned above.

How come she left in the first place?

She wanted to do other things...star in films etc...she plays Sally Lockart in the tv adaptation of the Philip Pullman novels too.

Her character Rose left the show after being stranded on a parallel earth with no way of getting back. She could never see the doctor again, never speak to him, she had to restart her whole life on a brand new planet that is almost identical to her old.

Here's a vid of how her character left the show. It was so sad, I was almost crying!

Basically the bit you see at the beginning, they're sucking all the daleks into the void, which is basically nothing...anything that falls in there ceases to exist any more. Rose tumbles towards it, but is saved by her father who transports her to a parallel universe, just as the gate between the worlds closes, trapping here there forever.

Yes and no...they did love each other, but would never admit it...well not until Rose's last ever scene.

Awww that was so sad :( Even though I never watch the show I was nearly in tears watching it myself :( When did she leave again? How long ago?

She left in July/ August 2006 I think...around that time anyways. I love the show and she was the best character. I was devastated when she left, and am so thrilled now that she's coming back!

But yeah, Billie went on to do other stuff...she didn't wanna be typecast as Rose Tyler for the rest of her career, and she was finding it so much harder everyday to let go of the show. She had to leave then before it became too difficult for her to say goodbye.

I read just now that she's only coming back for like 3 episodes and no more? Is that true?

At the moment nothing definate has been confirmed...some are saying she's only appearing in a vision of the doctors, some are saying she's back for the series finale...some that she's appearing for most of the series...as of yet nothing definite has been confirmed though...I bet even Billie herself doesn't know yet, lol

For me I mainly watch shows that are broad casted in America, they are shown here. Which is quite cool, but not really TV series.

Well I'm always downloading Smallville, cause here on TV they are one season behind!
