Yahoo Movies Doctor Who's Billie Piper to return as Rose in spin-off adventure
Doctor Who star Billie Piper is set to reprise her fan-favourite role as Rose Tyler for a new adventure.
The former companion of The Doctor will appear in three new audio adventures, Big Finish has revealed (via Radio Times), which will be available in September.
The Dimension Cannon: Trapped will see Rose searching for The Doctor when she finds herself trapped in a dangerous reality following a botched dimension jump. The synopsis continues: "Rose’s mission is to save the multiverse - but first, she must save herself!"
The episodes form the third volume of The Dimension Cannon, and will also star Camille Coduri as Rose's mother Jackie, as well as Em Thane as the mysterious new character Danni.

The new instalments are titled 'Sink or Swim', 'The Lower Road', and 'The Good Samaritan', and Piper has opened up on how "excited" she is to record the episodes.
“It's exciting to record The Dimension Cannon and play the part again, but it's even more thrilling when the fans learn about it, listen to it, and then discuss it with me when I meet them at conventions," she said. "It doesn't feel over. Rose Tyler has more life in her yet."
It comes as fans eagerly anticipate the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who with a number of new and returning faces set to take a trip in the TARDIS.
Don't Take My Baby star Ruth Madeley will appear in the episodes as Shirley Anne Bingham, and has recently opened up on what fans can expect from her role.

"You're gonna love Shirley, you're gonna love the episodes, or episode, who knows," she teased during an appearance on The One Show. "All I will say is, whatever questions you have, my answer will be, 'guess'."
Sacha Dhawan has also teased a possible return to the iconic sci-fi series to settle "unfinished business" as evil villain The Master.
Speaking to Digital Spy, he said: "I felt like I kind of finished my era with [former producer] Chris Chibnall, but to be honest when I heard that Russell [T Davies] was coming back – I know Russell a little bit socially, but I've never worked with him.
"And I think he's fantastic. I think what he's going to do is going to be amazing. I keep seeing these announcements. I'm seeing stills of Ncuti on set in Cardiff, and it brings back so many memories. So I don't know."
Doctor Who returns later in 2023 on BBC One in the UK and Disney+ elsewhere. Meanwhile, in the US, the show airs on BBC America, with series 1-12 available on Max.
