'Former Doctor Who star Billie Piper has reacted to Ncuti Gatwa's debut episode.
Last night, fans were treated to the final episode of the three 60th-anniversary specials in which David Tennant's Time Lord bigenerated into Gatwa.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Piper shared some thoughts on the episode, which saw Gatwa debut as the Fifteenth Doctor, describing it as "terrifying and beautiful".
Sharing a post from Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies which featured a picture of Gatwa in the role, Piper wrote: "Also… Incredible. Terrifying and beautiful. Bp 4 Dr who".
Piper, who starred as the Time Lord's companion Rose Tyler between 2005 and 2006, previously opened up about reprising the role – on one condition.
"If it was shot in London – sorry that's a really loveless answer! There's a running theme here, I don't want to work much. [If] it was like four episodes all shot in London, then yeah, I'd be like a rat-up-a-drainpipe for that," she said.
Piper also weighed in on Gatwa's casting, saying: "Great! It's just going from strength to strength, I'm so here for it."
Earlier this year, Piper returned to the role of Rose Tyler for the three-part audio drama The Dimension Cannon: Trapped alongside Jackie Tyler actress Camille Coduri.
The three new episodes, which made up the third volume of The Dimension Cannon, saw Rose searching for The Doctor after a dimension jump went wrong and she became trapped in a dangerous reality.
Speaking about reprising the fan-favourite role for the radio, Piper said it was "exciting" to record and that she looks forward to discussing the episodes with fans.
"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," Piper said. "It doesn't feel over. Rose Tyler has more life in her yet."'

I think I'll start to take requests whether for simple fanarts, headcanons, one shots and whatever
Rules are simple: no nsfw
Fandoms:
Mortal Kombat (MK X, MK11, MK1)
Yuukoku no Moriarty (the Moriarty brothers, Sherlock Holmes)
Sleeping Dogs (Jackie, Wei)
Just for fun and to kill time, don't get your hopes up with me please, I'm no professional

love how STVFOE is in the pride collection when d!sney barely let Daron include the gay kiss in Just Friends and almost everything otherwise had to be subtext and not explicitly stated...
