The latest Doctor Who spin-off from Big Finish will see Billie Piper reprise her role of Rose Tyler, this time in her own series.

Rose Tyler: The Dimension Cannon will follow Rose's journey through dying parallel worlds, and also stars Camille Coduri as Rose's mum Jackie, Shaun Dingwall as her dad Pete, Mark Benton as alien investigator Clive Finch and Elli Garnett as Caroline Finch.

In 2008 TV episode 'Journey's End', Rose mentioned how she and her Torchwood team on a parallel Earth had created a "dimension cannon" that allowed her to leap between worlds. The device, though, had only begun working when the entire multiverse mysteriously started to collapse.

Four new stories from Big Finish will explore what happened before Rose and the Doctor were reunited, as she seeks out the Time Lord, the only person who can save all of reality.

The new audio plays are: 'The Endless Night' by Jonathan Morris, 'The Flood' by Lisa McMullin, 'Ghost Machines' by AK Benedict, and 'The Last Party on Earth' by Matt Fitton.

"I love how normal Rose is, and yet really extraordinary," said Billie Piper on returning to the role. "She lived a normal average life but she is incredibly curious and has an enormous capacity for love and empathy and is really spirited. She is extraordinary."

In a unique twist, Rose Tyler: The Dimension Cannon will feature no alien threats or villains to defeat, but will instead "capture and showcase the beautifully rich human characters of Doctor Who".

'That's the great thing about Doctor Who," Piper added. 'It challenges new thinking. It's progressive and it can be political in amongst these human emotions and relationships. I think that's its greatest appeal."

Big Finish producer David Richardson revealed that, when he approached Russell T Davies about producing a new spin-off for Rose, it was Davies himself who suggested exploring the character's journey to finding the Doctor in 'The Stolen Earth'.

Listen to a teaser for Rose Tyler – The Dimension Cannon below:

"I found the proposal irresistible, and instantly script editor Matt Fitton and I were throwing around ideas," said Richardson. "Russell suggested including Jackie and Pete, and embraced my idea of including a parallel universe version of Clive – who of course was killed off in the TV series [in the 2005 episode 'Rose']."

Richardson described the final product as "a family drama about the end of worlds. It's about love and loss and things that might have been – and our brilliant cast have embraced the emotional scripts."

Rose was originally set to star in her own TV spin-off, Rose Tyler: Earth Defence, following Piper's initial Doctor Who exit. However, Davies later opted to cancel the project, fearing it would lessen the impact of the character's departure.

Rose Tyler – The Dimension Cannon will be released in September 2019 and is available for pre-order now – at £25 on CD and £20 on download – from bigfinish.com.
