Rose Tyler: Earth Defence (unproduced TV series)

Rose Tyler: Earth Defence would have been a Doctor Who spin-off set some time after Rose's 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 had been commissioned by BBC One but abruptly cancelled by Russell T. Davies, who decided at the last moment that it would be a mistake to show Rose being able to still have an exciting life without the Doctor. (The Sarah Jane Adventures show Sarah having an exciting life without the Doctor.) 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.
