Rose Tyler: Earth Defence (unproduced TV series)

Rose Tyler: Earth Defence was a planned spin-off series fromDoctor Who which was to feature the further adventures of companion Rose Tyler, played by Billie Piper, following her final parting from the Doctor at the conclusion of "Doomsday." Based on dialogue in that final story, the series most likely was intended to feature Rose's life on the alternate Earth the Doctor had dubbed "Pete's World," working with that reality's version of the Torchwood Institute.

The series was commissioned by BBC One but abruptly cancelled by Russell T. Davies, who decided at the last moment that a series showing Rose being able to still have an exciting life without the Doctor would be a mistake. While speaking of his decision, he admitted that Billie Piper had "not been formally approached" about starring in the series. Piper had reportedly been receiving many lucrative offers to pursue other projects before deciding to leave Doctor Who at the end of Season 28.
