Cast: Christopher Eccleston, Billie Piper, Alex Austin, Hannah Brown, Camille Coduri.

The reunion many have actively awaited for, for one of the shortest runs that a companion had with a single Doctor that certainly deserved more than a single season, more than just 13 episodes, and yet from the revival episode of Rose through to The Parting Of The Waves, Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper captivated a nation of fans with their dynamic and emotional resonance as they fought Autons, The Gelth, members of family Slitheen, and Nanogenes that rewrite human physiology, and all the while, and despite the darkness of one of the biggest surprise endings to a series ever concocted, they faced the universe with humour and a friendship that arguably hadn’t been seen on screen in the Who Universe since Jon Pertwee’s incarnation of the mad man from Gallifrey and the marvellous Sarah Jane Smith.
