Billie Piper and David Tennant want Doctor Who film return
Billie Piper and David Tennant have revealed that they are both open to making a Doctor Who return in a big-screen adaptation of the BBC's beloved sci-fi series.
Billie Piper and David Tennant are both open to starring in a Doctor Who movie.
No further plans for TV episodes have been announced following the end of the most recent series earlier this year – where Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor appeared to regenerate into Billie, who had played companion Rose Tyler – but both she and David are open to reprising their popular Tardis partnership on the big screen.
Quizzed by a fan about the possibility of a film at a Comic Con event in Los Angeles, Billie said: "Do we foresee a movie? Yes."
David – who starred as both the Tenth and Fourteenth incarnations of the Time Lord – added: "Sure."
The Doctor has been on the big screen before, played by Peter Cushing, back in the 1960s and Billie revealed that she had pushed for a movie adaptation during her time on the BBC's long-running sci-fi show.
The 43-year-old star said: "I was always pitching for that: 'Where's the film?' And we are the ones.
"I loved it that people went to see that last Doctor Who episode in the cinema. I would love the Doctor Who experience on the big screen. They are sort of like films anyway."
Turning to Tennant, the former pop star said: "I'd do that, wouldn't you?"
The 54-year-old actor replied: "Oh for sure. We're available."
Billie made a shock return to Doctor Who in May's episode The Reality War and revealed that she couldn't resist the opportunity to return to the Tardis.
She said: "It's no secret how much I love this show, and I have always said I would love to return to the Whoniverse as I have some of my best memories there, so to be given the opportunity to step back on that Tardis one more time was just something I couldn't refuse!"
The episode saw Ncuti bow out after two seasons as the Time Lord and he stated that he would "truly miss" the role.
The Sex Education actor said: "You know when you get cast, at some point you are going to have to hand back that sonic screwdriver and it is all going to come to an end, but nothing quite prepares you for it.
"This journey has been one that I will never forget, and a role that will be part of me forever. There are no words to describe what it feels like to be cast as the Doctor, nor are there words to explain what it feels like to be accepted into this iconic role that has existed for over 60 years and is truly loved by so many across the globe."
