Doctor Who fans hail return of Billie Piper and Jodie Whittaker
In the finale, Ncuti Gatwa leaves Doctor Who and is seen regenerating into Piper, who first appeared in the series as the companion to the ninth Time Lord in 2005. Ncuti Gatwa (BBC Studios/Bad Wolf/PA) Retired teacher Steve Hatcher, 66, of Ashbourne in Derbyshire, who runs Whoovers – a Doctor Who fan club – told the PA news agency: 'The question in the mind was, is it going to be a regeneration to a new Doctor, which it was, or is it just going to be a regeneration to black and an uncertain future? 'So I'm very relieved that they've found a new Doctor and she's a brilliant actor and I'm sure that'll be terrific, so Doctor Who continues, I would say, on the basis of that, it was a terrific episode. 'I think it gave us everything that we wanted to see from it, there was nothing left unexplained at the end of it apart from those things that don't need explaining because there's an inherent mystery to it all, but it was terrific, I enjoyed it a lot.' Mr Hatcher, who watched the episode with other fans at the Derby Quad cinema, said the regeneration was 'handled really nicely' and the overwhelming mood was positive. He went on: 'What a lovely surprise to see Jodie Whittaker come back as well tonight.' James Ashway, 27, from Bristol, who helps run the Doctor Who Appreciation Society's magazine, said: 'It was an episode which threw the kitchen sink in terms of returning characters, Jodie Whittaker and obviously now Billie Piper as well, as the new Doctor. 'I'm a bit speechless, to be honest, there's quite a lot of stuff to take in, but I think it was an interesting episode which pivoted in the middle to tell two different stories, one wrapping up the end of that season and obviously telling Ncuti Gatwa's regeneration as well, so very enjoyable.' However, Brendan Noble, 57, of Middlesbrough, a former English teacher who runs the Sense Sphere YouTube channel, said: 'I think we've just had what I would have called EastEnders in space. I am absolutely shocked, irritated, frustrated, people are contacting me now in absolute shock and horror at what's just happened. 'It's lazy writing, hodgepodge of exposition, escapism, nonsense, (Russell T Davies) was throwing every toy from the Doctor Who box at the telly, hoping that some of it would make sense in the way of entertaining you.' Mr Noble told PA it was a 'shame' that Gatwa 'never had any decent stories', calling it an 'absolute waste of a Doctor'.

I stayed at the English seaside caravan park with private lido, Vegas-like cabanas and cosy pub
You can choose to have the most secluded and private break or throw yourself into eight hours of non-stop activities and entertainment HAVE TO SEA IT I stayed at the English seaside caravan park with private lido, Vegas-like cabanas and cosy pub THE West Sussex town of Selsey famously has just one road in and out of it – but the seaside spot is so fun-packed, the exit lane should be scrapped. My family and I had just spent a long weekend at the Cove's Seal Bay resort, where every lodge, caravan and holiday home sits just a short stroll from the ocean. Advertisement 5 Selsey is a coastal gem and perfect for the whole family Credit: Supplied 5 Some of the lodges at Seal Bay are just steps from the shore Credit: Supplied We were staying in Green Lawns, the most rural of the site's four themed sections, which lives up to its name with a pond and trees that my sons were constantly scaling. Our classic lodge was filled with mod cons, including a deep bath, huge shower, washing machine, dishwasher and classy electric fire. For nearby food, this zone is also home to the giant Viking Bar which, despite looking like an imposing cowboy saloon from outside, is like a warm and welcoming local pub. A little farther away, the burgers, beers and ice creams at Cafe Lido are of bafflingly good quality — yet the 'double burger' is just £9.99 and the classic hotdog not even a fiver. Advertisement We have holidayed on caravan sites for almost 40 years and having affordable restaurants and action-packed activites within walking distance of your home is a huge perk. But only now, after all those years, do I recognise how vital holiday parks might be for little ones with special educational needs, or even younger kids who tire more easily. When long flights, unfamiliar surroundings or sensory overloads might be too much for someone, places like Seal Bay are so important. You can choose to have the most secluded and private break or throw yourself into eight hours of non-stop activities and entertainment. Advertisement A short stroll from our lodge was the White Horse area, offering lots of sporting action. Then there's the Dockyard, which has a stunning lido, with a splash area and swimming pools surrounded by bright-orange cabanas that wouldn't look amiss in Vegas — these come at an extra charge. Martin Lewis gives travel advice about checking your passport Indoors there is a nine-hole crazy- golf course, state-of-the-art climbing wall and a death-defying bounce- playground above your heads. And around the corner is the vast and lush sports field where the Seal Bay Soccer Academy is run by brilliant staff with grade-A equipment — Mitre balls, goals, bibs, cones, hurdles and slalom poles. Advertisement We had a family match against new friends Taylor, Sarah, Mick and Archie, who made the hour fly by. The largest zone in the holiday complex is West Sands, which sits right on the beach. It even has a wave simulator, Wave Rider, open May to September. We had blistering weather so spent as much time as possible on the beach or in the ocean, but the indoor Oasis Bay pool is ideal for wetter weather. We ventured down to this area on Saturday and found a giant TV screen, on the beach rocks, showing the FA Cup Final. Advertisement 5 Surf's up at the wave simulator at the resort Credit: Supplied 5 Have fun ten-pin bowling Credit: Supplied My boys split their time between watching Crystal Palace spring a brilliant upset over Man City and diving into the waves. Then we headed for a BBQ dinner at Smokey's Ocean Bar. Advertisement There, the lads demolished the Pitmaster's Feast of brisket, pulled pork, ribs, buffalo wings, sausage, chilli and sides and somehow had room for ice-cream sundaes. A family of three were stuffed for just over £50. We used our stroll back to base camp to walk off the meat sweats but there is a courtesy bus — that loops around the park, stopping at all the key areas — plus electric bikes and pedal go-karts to hire. On Sunday we finished off with the brilliant Zorbing experience — you strap your child into a giant bubble and let them play crash-test dummies — then another swim and an archery session, before my kids slept the whole way home. Advertisement And I would love to tell you we partied all weekend into the early hours but we were shattered and asleep by 8pm every day, dreaming of the next day's adventure. 5 There's entertainment galore on site Credit: Supplied

Billie Piper announced as new Doctor Who as she replaces Ncuti Gatwa in BBC series
Who could have seen that coming? WHO'S THAT? Billie Piper announced as new Doctor Who as she replaces Ncuti Gatwa in BBC series Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DOCTOR Who has delivered a massive shock to fans with a familiar face returning – with Billie Piper making her comeback, only this time as the Doctor themselves. Billie is a fan favourite on the long-running BBC series, helping reboot the show as companion Rose Tyler to Christopher Ecclestone's Ninth Doctor back in 2005. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Ncuti Gatwa has said goodbye to Doctor Who with a finale regeneration Credit: PA 5 Billie Piper has made her triumphant comeback to the show as the new Doctor Credit: PA 5 As Rose Tyler, Billie travelled the cosmos with Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant's Doctors Credit: Alamy Her character remained with the character as he regenerated into David Tennant's Tenth Doctor, before being trapped in a parallel world. However, Billie, and Rose, have made several appearances throughout the show since. In a massive shock on tonight's finale, The Reality War, Ncuti Gatwa - the 15th Doctor said goodbye to the role after two series and regenerated. The Doctor faced off against enemy the Rani in the latest bid to save the world. However, the ultimate sacrifice came in a bid to save the life of a little girl. As yellow particles eclipsed him, he transformed into a very familiar face – Rose – marking her turn as the 16th Doctor. She then mumbled a quick "Oh Hello!" before the series ended. Speaking of her return, Billie said: "It's no secret how much I love this show, and I have always said I would love to return to the Whoniverse as I have some of my best memories there, so to be given the opportunity to step back on that TARDIS one more time was just something I couldn't refuse, but who, how, why and when, you'll just have to wait and see." Speaking of his decision to leave, Ncuti said: 'You know when you get cast, at some point you are going to have to hand back that sonic screwdriver and it is all going to come to an end, but nothing quite prepares you for it. "This journey has been one that I will never forget, and a role that will be part of me forever. "There are no words to describe what it feels like to be cast as the Doctor, nor are there words to explain what it feels like to be accepted into this iconic role that has existed for over 60 years and is truly loved by so many across the globe." Doctor Who's wokest ever lead star Ncuti Gatwa axed after just two series with show set to be paused after ratings nosedive "The fans are truly the final character and beating heart of this show and I can't thank the Whoniverse, and the Whovians, enough for welcoming me in, and making this such a touching experience," Ncuti continued. "I've loved every minute of it, but now is the time to hand over the keys to that beloved blue box and let someone else take control and enjoy it every bit as much as I have. "I'll truly miss it, and forever be grateful to it, and everyone that has played a part in my journey as the Doctor.' Speaking of the surprise twist, Russell T Davies adds: "Billie once changed the whole of television, back in 2005, and now she's done it again! "It's an honour and a hoot to welcome her back to the TARDIS, but quite how and why and who is a story yet to be told. After 62 years, the Doctor's adventures are only just beginning!" 5 Billie first appeared as afn favourite companion Rose in 2005 Credit: Alamy
