Doctor Who Would You Rather?

I voted 14 more out of curiosity as to what it could even be :sweat_smile:

I’d like more of 14 cause I think its a shame if he only gets a few stories despite being an official number. Plus, we have loads of 10 BF already! I’m still mad 14 wasn’t Scottish..

I figure 14 adventures would either be UNIT adventures or trips with Donna, Mel, Rose Noble, and/or Wilf. And he has taken a trip with Mel to New York in the Gilded Age. And a trip to Mars, maybe with Rose?

Then why did they do bigeneration?

I always assumed 14 audios would be a mixture of meeting classic companions (no reason it just has to Mel and the Nobles, he can meet any 21st century earthbound companion - Mel knows he’s on Earth, and she meets the others in the support group), more domestic/light-hearted stories, and veeery occasional more “traditional” Doctor Who stories, with the difference being that 14 is no longer used to having to fill his usual role, having retired. I wouldn’t mind the occasional UNIT story, or Kate or others checking up on him, but I wouldn’t want lots of them, because you can have them with any Doctor.

I voted for 10 because I still really want 10 & Martha audios, gutted we never got those.

But I’d also love some 14 stories as well, it could be taken into lots of different directions.

I definitely think we haven’t seen the last of David Tennant in Big Finish, he’s such a fan I can’t imagine him never coming back. I look forward to it!! One of my favourite Doctors.

I like how Tennant played the Fourteenth Doctor more than how he played the Tenth. That combined with the experience of having lived through Smith-Whittaker, I just prefer the Fourteenth so I’d really rather like some Fourteenth Doctor audios if and when Big Finish can do them.

I’d like them before he runs into Donna again though as opposed to after his bigeneration.

One thing that comes to mind is that Douglas Adams apparently wanted to do a story where the Doctor retired, but was still being called on to solve problems that was replaced by Shada. That sounds like the sort of thing you could do with the 14th Doctor.

Not to turn this into yet another discussion on the merits or otherwise of Gallifrey being destroyed again, but if Gallifrey were still around with 14, I would be much more onboard with more 14 stories - 10 is so defined by his “last of the time lords” moniker, it would have been very interesting to see a version of him who doesn’t have that as such a dominant part of his personality, can interact with other time lords and visit Gallifrey, and work through some of the issues of his earlier persona.

14 goes pub hopping with Drax, and wakes up the next morning not remembering most of the evening, where he is, or where he parked the TARDIS…

So a Doctor could retire and have a happy ending for once. Giving him more stories set after that ending undermines it. That’s one of the reasons I’m okay with it being David Tennant again, because it doesn’t feel like wasting a Doctor. We’ve had plenty of David Tennant, we don’t need more

The bigeneration isn’t a mechanical plot point, setting up a spare doctor for later, it’s a character beat resolving the Doctor’s character arc up to that point

That could be said about almost every Doctor. Should Tom Baker stop doing audios?

This is media were we had an actor playing the Doctor (Film, TV, and audio) there are a lot of them that we don’t need more from if we don’t need more David Tennant. Maybe we should start saying that we don’t need more of the Eighth Doctor he has too many stories…

This even includes when Dudman plays Ten…

What I’m really seeing here is we need more Eleven!

Also I don’t necessarily think 14 stories have to be post The Giggle
