Could do, but you have a risk of "old school" fans rebelling against that.

I still think Alan Davies would be a very strong candidate for the next Doctor, either that or a complete unknown

Please you two, could you take the argument outside of the thread now, I'd rather this thread didn't get locked until we near the xmas special/Series 4.

This series, although depending on whether this thread will carry on long enough depends on whether or not a new one will be needed in December

Technically, each Christmas special is part of the following series, as it is recorded with those episodes (usually in a recording block with the first couple of episodes of the following series).

Oops Embarassed forgot that they are blocked in with the start of each series as opposed to the previous one.

Why the freakin' obsession with Tom Baker's life/death status? Rolling Eyes FFS

Doing such a story at some random stage, just for the sake of "getting in there quickly before Tom Baker dies" is ridiculous. What the heck goes on inside your head, saturdaymorning? Confused


Are you insulting my intelligence?Oh,and it wouldn't be at a random stage.Next year it's 45 years.


No, I'm not insulting your intelligence. Smile I'm just genuinely a bit disturbed about all the references to Tom Baker's death.

Fair point about next year being something of an Anniversary year (albeit not a multiple of 10), but I still think that the best way to re-visit old Doctors is to watch the actual "Classic Who" episodes, rather than bringing them back as "guest stars" in a new episode.

"New Who" finds more subtle ways of giving a nod to old Doctors (e.g. the 10th Dr saying something similar to "I've reversed the polarity of the neutron flow" in The Lazarus Experiment - a nod to the 3rd Dr, of course). I think that kind of thing is more workable than literally bringing the old Drs back.

The prospect of a new Multi-Dr story may sound good in theory, but there are far too many reasons why it would be inadvisible in practice. Sadly, therefore, it's probably best left as a fan "wish-list" fantasy.

EDIT: A Timelash style situation, whereby the current Dr's destination was supposedly visited by an earlier incarnation in an "undisclosed adventure", might be a nice idea.

No.It's episode 14 of the previous one.For example,The Christmas Invasion aired in 2005 so that's the last episode.
