Rose Tyler – she’s one of the most divisive companions in new Doctor Who fandom. For many
fans, she was their first companion. For others, she’s a Mary Sue of Russell T Davies’ making,
pushing a love story angle that had previously only been attempted in audio adventures with
varying degrees of success and failure. (Eighth Doctor and Charley Pollard, anyone?)
Leave it to Steven Moffat to fix it – and give Billie Piper the best character she’s ever played in
Doctor Who: the Moment.
