BBC keeps quiet on 'Dr Who' quit rumour

The BBC are refusing to comment on rumours that Billie Piper will not be appearing on Doctor Who's third series.

Piper allegedly wants to quit the show once she has completed filming for series two, in fear that she could become typecast.

However, a spokesperson for the sci-fi drama told icwales, "We are not commenting on the third series - we are still working on the second series. Rose has a whole new journey and a fantastic set of adventures to go on with the brand new Doctor.

"Viewers will then see them return in a host of scary and exciting stories in a new series next year."
