I love that he did this :star_struck:

I don’t know what the reference was, but that’s great too!

The 6/Frobisher reference is the mention of Marinus as one of the origins of the Cybermen! From The World Shapers.

That’s sad :frowning: whenever I hear about the people at the top stopping things like this it really annoys me, although it would be interesting to hear why these decisions are made

As I understand, it was to not confuse viewers. But all this is rumours, I think.

My wishlist:

  • Gallifrey is back and stays back
  • Time lords. Put time lords on my TV
  • For that point. Narvin. If you put Narvin on my TV, I’ll forgive everything else
  • also Trey :eyes: listen. I know the connection is tenous. But also like. It could happen. They put intervention earth in there although I might need advance warning so I don’t die of lesbianism
  • For that matter. Please let’s keep the evil scientist ladies going!
  • Belinda staying. She had a strong start but I need more than one season for a companion to properly develop and the last stories have been weak for her
  • Allison Williams. I know it won’t happen. But everyone and their mother works at UNIT these days, surely we can bring in Allison as a consultant

I agree with all of this! (Narvin…please…I need my narvin on tv…) I also haven’t heard CM yet, but based on remembrance of the Daleks, I would love Allison in s3!!!

I don’t even need to speak these days with @Jae as my puppet muhahahhaha!

If Allison ever turned up on screen again I’d scream SO loudly you’d be able to hear me in Scandinavia :star_struck:

This just kind of falls under my bizarre ideas for a season…

Showrunner: Chris Chibnall/Russell T Davis (co-showrunners)

  1. RTD
  2. Maxine Alderton 1/2
  3. Maxine Alderton 2/2
  4. Frank Cotterell-Boyce/RTD
  5. RTD/Steven Moffat 1/2
  6. RTD/Steven Moffat 2/2
  7. Richard Curtis
  8. Ed Hime 1/2
  9. Ed Hime 2/2
  10. James Moran
  11. Kate Heron/Briony Redman 1/2
  12. Kate Heron/Briony Redman 2/2

(And yes, I put Chris as co-showrunner, but didn’t have him write any episodes. It’s for the best…)

In case anyone was curious about my thought process there:

First, I think the showrunner job is a bit much for one person, especially for Doctor Who. So I split it into two showrunners co-running it. Thing is, I think Chibnall often has good ideas. I just generally think it’s better when other people write them. RTD’s been repeating some of the same ideas a bit much, so could use the help.

OTOH, I’d rather RTD did the writing of the two. Chibnall can do some of the script editing, though. I also kind of feel they might keep each other in check a little.

I went 12 episodes, because I want lots of episodes. Lots of two parters is because I think a lot of the problem has been episodes that need more time. I’d rather a bit more classic of an approach.

Obviously one of the showrunners should start things, so RTD. Maxine is really good, and I’d love a two parter by her.

Frank, well, he wrote Smile, which I do like… and Forest of the Night. Well, maybe adding RTD in will help.

An RTD/Moffat two-parter! I’m kinda trying for another Empty Child/Doctor Dances here…

Richard Curtis. He wrote Vincent and the Doctor. A bunch of other good stuff, too.

Ed Hime. Yes, he wrote Orphan 55… which needed more time, and I’m giving him a two parter. He also wrote It Takes You Away, though, and that’s more what I have in mind.

James Moran. Wrote Fires of Pompei, some Torchwood stuff, and Severance.

And I do want more Kate Heron. Enjoyed Rogue, and I also liked Loki. Also, I didn’t want either of the showrunners trying to do the season finale.

Arguably I could put new writers in, but I thought it was more fun to try slotting in existing writers that I wouldn’t mind a return of…

Misread this as Romana Reloaded and I got so excited

Following on from a brief Reality War comment. Susan being an arc for S3. The Search for Susan. Maybe she is in trouble & is calling for Doccy Who’s help? Or better still, she has some secret info that is needed to resolve a galaxy wide crisis? Tie her in with the return of the daleks?

I think that RTD doesn’t want to set it up that much tomorrow because he still has no deal for season 3, and it seems he wants to close a lot of open threads then. But I think that sounds like a good season arc, and it could happen.

I suspect he’s got a chunk of season 3 already written at this point…

Series 14 or for them to use legacy numbering and start the series count being in the 40s officially, like comics do. (This suggestion is just as a lark.)
