    I feel like this is a missed opportunity. Have a one-off special with Billy Piper, indicate that a lot of off screen adventures have happened, then transition into the next permanent Doctor.

      unpopular opinion but the Billy Piper reveal pissed me off. Not because I didn’t want a Rose Tyler Doctor, but because I didn’t want a stupid ‘gotcha’ moment where the Doctor sneezes and her face is gone or a single special with her as The Doctor. I wanted a FULL Rose Tyler Doctor season and pulling her in like this pretty much kills any chance of that.

        I don’t think that it’s an unpopular opinion. It was very strange to do and we may never get any real followup for it. Really too bad.

        It was the final nail for me. I dont like Piper, and seeing that godawful ‘grin’ turned my stomach.

        Neo-RTD was a mistake.
