January 13th, 2014 - 8:17pmHey I had thought about the 12th Doctor not having a Sonic Screwdriver! Instead How about the Sonic Cane from Let’s Kill Hitler??? This would make the Doctor appear much more mature. It would give him an older look but he can still move around like a madman at a fast pace, but with the cane the show would be much more relaxed. For the sake of the show, the screwdriver should also be able to detach from the cane itself, so the Doctor can sneak around with it when he needs to.

January 13th, 2014 - 8:09pmthe new rule has been running about the daleks having to appear every year has been happening since nation died so yes DOCTOR WHO ONE is right.

January 13th, 2014 - 8:06pmI think that having a new doctor that is old will make the show less for kids since the 10th doctor it has turned into a kiddy show.

January 13th, 2014 - 7:29pmDOCTOR WHO ONE, I’d like to see some actual evidence of that. There were only in Series 6 for about 30 seconds mind.
And anonymous, the Daleks weren’t in Seasons 5*,6*,7,8*,13,14,15,16,18*,19,20*,23,24,26 or 32** and we don’t discredit almost half of the series because of a lack of appearance.
*seen on a screen or in someones thoughts
**very brief appearance

January 13th, 2014 - 4:55pmWell, we had Rory not long ago, but yeah, another male companion would be nice.

January 13th, 2014 - 4:23pmI like that the new doctor is older again. As much as I loved the previous ones, the youth thing was getting a little … old. This Doctor should be refreshing – even if he’s not so fresh-faced.
What I’d really like to see is a MALE companion, though. (Not just the boyfriend of the typical female companion, but a male companion in his own right.)

January 13th, 2014 - 3:56pmyeah but it was ot the ezacted same t shirt
DOCTOR WHO ONE
January 13th, 2014 - 3:53pmThe 4th, 5th and 6th Doctor’s all had question marks on their collars.
The 4th Doctor started using it by the time it was the 80’s. It then ended up being used on the collars of the 5th and 6th Doctors, while the 7th had a question marked pull over and question mark shaped handle for his umbrella.

DOCTOR WHO ONE
January 12th, 2014 - 7:04pmSomeone else on this site said recently that they have to use the Daleks every year, otherwise their rights to use them in the series get revoked by the Terry Nation Estate who are the original owners of the copyrights.
They need to bring back Davros good and proper, and reintroduce the Special Weapons Gunner Dalek with a brand new design, and perhaps introduce the concept of Spider Daleks and Striders from the John Peel 8th Doctor novel ‘War of the Daleks’.

January 12th, 2014 - 5:32pmI want to see NO daleks they’ve been overused or if they are gonna bring them back, they should make new better daleks! I’m so sick of seeing the time war daleks, their design is boring now and there’s nothing new or exciting with them anymore
DOCTOR WHO ONE
January 12th, 2014 - 5:13pmIt’s wouldn’t look right, not would look right, sorry all 😀
DOCTOR WHO ONE
January 12th, 2014 - 5:12pmI agree with Anonymous, every Doctor defines their appearance by their choice of outfit, it would look right if say, the 5th Doctor decided to wear the clothes of the 4th Doctor, or if the 10th Doctor decided to keep wearing the clothes of the 9th Doctor. It just wouldn’t be right.

January 12th, 2014 - 4:49pmactually thinking about it I would not like that to happen because then it would make future doctors to predictable

January 12th, 2014 - 4:48pmno the doctor’ clothes kind of relsemble there character it is there symbol and if he wore this then he would be the same as smith
USA FAN
January 12th, 2014 - 4:28pmI know that’s Matt Smith’s costume, but it looks good on Capaldi. I think he should keep it and maybe add a regular tie or a cravat. No Doctor has ever kept their old clothes before, that would be a nice change.

Yes, but they’re not the only Daleks in existance are they? If Gallifray is in another universe they may have found it!
Anonymous
January 12th, 2014 - 8:48amHave you even watch the Day of the Doctor darylcharles? The 11th, 10th and War Doctors sorted it out so that the Daleks are now shooting at each other by destroying themselves so they can save Gallifrey by freezing it!!!
