Career

Music

Piper's first break in the entertainment world came as a teenager, when she was selected to appear on the Saturday morning kids' television show Scratchy and Co. Piper later landed a role in a television commercial promoting the pop magazine Smash Hits. Her role was to blow a bubble in front of the camera, burst it with her finger and shout "Pop!". A red screen would then come up and the words "Smash hits Magazine. 100% pure pop!" with Piper's voice saying the words. She then had to run up to the camera and dance, then run back. Soon after she was offered a record deal at the age of fifteen, and in 1998 became the youngest artist ever to debut at number one in the UK singles chart with "Because We Want To", released under the artist name "Billie". Her follow-up single "Girlfriend" also debuted at Number One, and her first album, Honey to the B (released immediately afterwards) debuted at Number 14 in the UK album charts. She released two further singles off the album, "She Wants You" and "Honey to the Bee"; both songs debuted at Number 3. Scratchy and Co was a CITV show, which was broadcast over the following periods in the mid to late 1990s: May - December 1995 May - August 1996 January - April 1997 January - April 1998 It replaced Whats Up Doc? as the Saturday morning ITV show. ...

Piper then took a year off to record her second album. She decided to release further records under her full name, Billie Piper. She returned to the Singles Chart in May 2000 with a new, sexier sound. She hit the Number 1 spot with "Day & Night", but her success wasn't to continue. She waited until the following September to release "Something Deep Inside". That reached Number 4 in the UK Singles Chart. In October 2000, Piper released her second album, Walk of Life, which reached Number 14 in the UK Album Chart.

Film and television

Piper in The Canterbury Tales.

In 2003, Piper decided to end her pop career and return to her original ambition, acting. She took acting lessons while living in Los Angeles and, still a high-profile figure, quickly earned roles in the BBC Television series The Canterbury Tales (modern retellings of Chaucer's stories) and the one-off drama Bella and the Boys.

Piper gained very positive reviews for these appearances, critics seemingly feeling that she was a far better actress than she was a singer.


In 2004, Piper appeared in the films The Calcium Kid, as the romantic interest of Orlando Bloom's character, and Things to do Before You're Thirty. Shortly before starting work on Doctor Who, she filmed a starring role in the horror movie Spirit Trap along side Russian pop star Alsou, released in the summer of 2005 to generally poor reviews.

After the completion of the first series of Doctor Who which was very successful, the British media regularly released conflicting reports about how long Piper would be staying with the programme. In March 2006, she claimed that she would continue on Doctor Who into its third season in 2007.[7] On 10 May 2006, however, she was reported to be considering quitting the series, although she did express an interest in playing a female version of the Doctor in the future (possibly related to a proposed Doctor Who spin-off series about Rose which was later dropped).[8] On 15 June 2006, the BBC announced that she was to depart in the final episode of the second series, "Doomsday".[9] Piper's decision to leave had been taken a year previously, but remained a secret until news of her departure became public.[10] is the 130th day of the year (131st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Both Piper and head writer Russell T. Davies have mentioned that the manner of her departure was intended to leave the door open for the character of Rose Tyler to return to the role at a later date. Rose did not, however, return during the 3rd series of the show. The BBC had briefly planned to produce a Rose Tyler spin-off, starring Piper, which was to follow Rose's life after leaving the Doctor, but Davies ultimately decided to cancel the project.[11] Russell T Davies, interviewed for the documentary series Doctor Who Confidential in 2005. ...
