The series had been commissioned by [[BBC|BBC One]] but abruptly cancelled by [[Russell T Davies]], who decided that it would have lessened the impact of ''Doomsday''. The spin-off was cancelled before [[Billie Piper]] had been formally approached. Reportedly the original plan was to produce a one-off special (likely for broadcast around a holiday, possibly Easter), followed by more specials if demand warranted, in lieu of a weekly series. | The series had been commissioned by [[BBC|BBC One]] but abruptly cancelled by [[Russell T Davies]], who decided that it would have lessened the impact of ''Doomsday''.

Scrapped material shows that the [[Pete's World]] version of [[Adam Mitchell]],[[Captain Jack]], [[Gwen Cooper]], dinosaurs and [[Slitheen]] would all appear in this show | |||
Piper agreed to return as Rose in the 2008 season; after a trio of surprise cameo appearances earlier in the season, Piper appeared in the finale trilogy of ''[[Turn Left]]'', ''[[The Stolen Earth]]'' and ''[[Journey's End]]''. In these episodes she is shown communicating with an unidentified support team and at one point also takes command of a group of [[UNIT]] soldiers in the [[Donna's World|parallel Earth]] of ''Turn Left''. It is not known if any of this connects with elements of the aborted ''Earth Defence'' series concept. | Piper agreed to return as Rose in the 2008 season; after a trio of surprise cameo appearances earlier in the season, Piper appeared in the finale trilogy of ''[[Turn Left]]'', ''[[The Stolen Earth]]'' and ''[[Journey's End]]''.
