Billie Piper

Friday, Saturday, & Sunday

Billie Piper became a household name after two years playing the nation's favorite companion in the hit relaunch of 'Doctor Who'. She has now established herself as one of the world's most critically acclaimed and awarded actors.

11 million people tuned in to see the BBC relaunch of 'Doctor Who', with Billie Piper as the feisty companion, Rose Tyler. Despite initial predictions, the show was an enormous success, consistently pulling in record ratings and picking up countless awards. Billie was universally hailed; every poll placed her as the most popular Doctor Who companion of all time and 'Best Actress' awards began to pile up. After two series, Billie decided it was time to move on, but has returned frequently for special appearances such as the show's 50th Anniversary - one of the most successful live events in cinema history, after selling out worldwide in more than 1,500 cinemas.

More recently, Piper has taken to the stage. She has starred in five plays and picked up numerous Best Actress awards, most notably a Laurence Olivier Award for her performance in Yerma. She went on to pick up a total of six Best Actress awards for that one performance, including the Olivier Award, making Piper the only actor to have picked up six out of an available six Best Actress awards for a single performance.
