The Ruby In The Smoke - Billie Piper formerly of Doctor Who

Plot Summary: In Victorian England, Sally Lockhart receives an anonymous note sending her on a mysterious quest. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0498382/ In Victorian England, Sally Lockhart receives an anonymous note sending her on a mysterious quest. Her father has recently died and feeling suffocated living with her elderly aunt moves in with newfound friends, a photographer and his sister. She is soon made aware that the mysterious Mrs. Holland is out to kill her. In the end, she realizes the solution to the mystery is rooted in events that occurred long ago when she lived with her father in India and a recurring dream she has had ever since. Written by garykmcd Disjointed but ravishing production, 7 December 2006 Author: isabella_deste from United Kingdom I have not read the books (heresy!) so I watched this with an open mind. The narrative is rather confusing - or rather, it makes sudden jumps in logic and you have to jump with it and not question things, otherwise you might get a bit frustrated. There are a lot of false endings too - you keep thinking its all over when something else happens. In terms of casting - JJ Field has a lovely voice. He sometimes looks like Jude Law, in certain lights, but some might find him a little on the geeky side for their romantic hero. Mrs. Holland is very very sinister. Julie Walters is a fabulous grotesque. Wonderful sets - really atmospheric. Especially the opium den. Billie Piper made a pretty good heroine, though I don't think Victoriana is the right period for her looks. Her accent rings false from time to time, but overall a convincing bit of acting.

And watch for Billie Piper in a new production of a Sally Lckhart story, "The Shadow In The North." It should be out soon - if not already! And like other commenters, yes, Ms Piper is HOT HOT HOT!

Thank you!
Yes, Billie Piper is cute. But(t), according to David Tennant, she has a flatulence problem.
Oh, well...
I wonder if she'll make a return to the Doctor Who universe in Series 5, just to work w/ Matt Smith again. I hope she knows that Time Lords cannot have children.

hey, Stormson, Timelords can have children....and I am not just talking about through dna sampling, like with Jenny, because on more than one occasion the Doctor has stated that he had been a father. Not to mention he had a granddaughter as well....
