Out Now: Doctor Who Magazine Questions Whether Billie Piper Is Really the Next Doctor

The latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine is out now and asks whether Billie Piper, who previously played Ninth and Tenth Doctor companion, Rose Tyler, is really the Sixteenth Doctor.

The issue deals with a lot of the repercussions of Wish World/ The Reality War, including a section with showrunner, Russell T Davies, looking back at how the Fifteenth Doctor’s (Ncuti Gatwa) two seasons developed.

Plus, Varada Sethu chats about her time playing latest companion, Belinda Chandra.
