What Would You Like For The 50th Anniversary
What Would You Like To See For The 50th Anniversary
With the days and months ticking away to the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who what would you like to see happen to celebrate this momentous occasion.
A multi Doctor Story? Past Doctors and Companions playing other parts? anything as long as it involves Paul McGann or Doctor Who street parties perhaps?

May 16th, 2013 - 5:57pmIf Steven Moffat does not want the eleven Doctors appearing together, why not have just Doctors 4-8 in a separate anniversary story. Plenty of fans want these Doctors to be involved and, it is obvious that these previous Doctors also want to be involved. It just seems a pity that in this 50th Anniversary year there appears to be less episodes of Doctor Who and, a big opportunity lost by not having a multi Doctor story.

May 3rd, 2013 - 7:09pmIt’s sad that none of the old Doctors except Tennant are appearing even as holograms or such like….How can Moffat deem his fair treatment of the series to just ignore the vast history and the fact that older fans WANT to see the older Doctors appearing in one way or another….He has no sense of what an anniverary special is…To be fair I wish R T Davies was back writing the special because Moffat i my opinion never really id his home wor on the history of the series and in many of his stories has blatantly contradicted and dismissed the established history of the pogramme. I think that not having the old doctors appearat all is dismissive….perhaps then we staunch fans should dismiss hi meager excuse of a special because without the older dotors it wont be a special, just another romp about with a single zygon and explosions everywhere…. wont be arsed now if I miss the 50th special cos without aknowledging th past you have 50th annversary im afraid.

May 3rd, 2013 - 12:54pmIt’s could be great if we have to see the tenth Doctor TARDIS interior
I want also the return of Susan, Ian, Barbara, River, Strax, Vastra, Jenny.
The return of the Daleks who have forgotten the Doctor, the new Cybermen from Nightmare in silver, the weeping angels, the Silence, the valeyard.
And a big death who changes the face of Doctor Who

April 21st, 2013 - 3:00pmWhen will the doctors daughter return because I think she might be Clara?

April 28th, 2013 - 11:37amI would like to see rose and the doctor get back together. Rose and donna (in my Opinion) are some of the best companions ever. I do think the time war should be explained more and how the doctor regenerated from doctor eight to nine. I think the doctor will find a way of not revealing his name and that maybe the only person he ends up telling his name to is river song (remember she knows his name before she dies in the library).

May 9th, 2013 - 7:13pmNo, I don’t think so because oyherwise she would remember and anyway. The Doctor made his daughter
in the future, and she doesn’t have a time-machine!

April 17th, 2013 - 8:23amRemade the first episode of Doctor Who with the Eleventh, River, Amy and Rory.

April 10th, 2013 - 6:04pmIt would be nice to see a return of jenny (the doctors clone daughter) and maybe if we could return to the doctors home world for a while.
Beee
March 21st, 2013 - 5:11pmA few of the more recent doctors, Matt, David Christopher and maybe Paul should swap companions. So David is with Amy and Rory. Christopher is with Martha… Etc! That would be amazing!!!
Terry
March 22nd, 2013 - 8:52pmThe return of David Tenant and Rose Tyler in the Dr.Who series. Tenant was the best Dr. Who and Rose was wonderful as well.

March 24th, 2013 - 6:13amStory should be an epic prequel showing us. the events Time war.A multi doctor adventure feat. Galifrey destruction, Paul Mcgann death with brief flash of Chris look since he’s being a d**k about coming back,the nightmare child, David and Matt of course and a few companions thrown in. Time lords have broken the 1st law of Time travel in dire situations. No dire than the last days of Galifrey.
freddie
April 15th, 2013 - 8:16pmi would love it if they could bring back all the doctors and all the companions like romana sara Jane Joe grant and all the rest and bring the monsters of all time back the daleks and why don’t bring back the master come back and the 4 knocks oh and about the daleks why don’t include the daleks supreme council and bring back the old daleks like the ones from planet of the daleks and bring back the creator of the daleks davros himself and dalek cann because you could make a story and say that davros and dalek cann did an emergency temporal shift and bring back the cult of skaro and bring back the pig slaves
RASSILON
February 8th, 2013 - 4:33pmMoffat said that the doctor’s greatest secret,his real name is in jeopardy/danger being revealed soon,series finale or the 50th special
Silence will fall when the question is asked
February 20th, 2013 - 4:26pmI think Clara is the doctor’s daughter because so far she has lived 3 times including in the christmas special. She might of managed to stop her apperance from changing
SWT
February 26th, 2013 - 4:40amSpeaking of Silence rember when in the Pandorica opens the Tardis spins out of control when River is flying it there is a voice from somewhere in the Tardis that goes “Silence will Fall”. This can be that force of Darkness that was trying to frame the Doctor for the cracks in the universe and explode the Tardis which would destroy all of reality leaving nothing but the cold and the dark.
Anony-mouse
February 26th, 2013 - 7:22amThat has nothing to do with Silence.
SWT
February 27th, 2013 - 3:09pmMaybe not but it would still be a good story line if the Doctor met his match against an enemy besides the Master.
SWT
April 21st, 2013 - 6:08pmAlong with the Daleks because sure they are the Doctors oldest enemy, but come on you have to have someone or something else be a greater match for the Doctor that could push him to his limits and make him go mad.
mr
April 24th, 2013 - 7:54amIf Clara is the Doctor’s daughter, then River Song is her mum, and Amy and Rory are her grandparents.

January 26th, 2013 - 9:33pmThis may just be a small thing but I would love it if the Doctor would once again wear Question marks on his suit like he did in the 80’s. It would a lovely thing to see and it’s probably one of my favorite things from the classic series.
Would also love to see the return of the original Cybermen after a 26 year absence from tv screens.
SWT
January 27th, 2013 - 8:03pmHonestly what I would want to see for the 50th anniversary or if there would be an epic regeneration like with David Tennant on the episode the End of Time, is that the Doctor goes up against the ultimate enemy that is an intelligent and powerful force of Darkness that has existed since before time began just like the Beast in the Impossible planet.
So powerful in fact that even the Daleks fear it.
Plus this force could be the one that created the Silence and the Weeping Angels, since no one knows where the Angels came from, which means that evrything that the Silence did in Season six in attempt to kill the Doctor and the one surving Angel that sent Amy and Rory back to the past for good can be by the design of the Darkness.
Including events like in the End of Time, reality being destroyed in the Big Bang, helping Dalek Con take Davros out of the time war so he could build the reality bomb, the Doctor winding up at the end of the universe where he inadvertantly released the Master which caused everything else to happen for the rest of that season, helping the Daleks cross through the void which also allowed the Cybermen to pass through also in the Army of Ghosts, and when the Doctor somehow ended up on Satellite 5 which led him to the Daleks and a battle broke out.
All of which could lead to the Doctor fighting the Darkness, which could somehow aquire a human host, in a battle of good vs evil.

February 5th, 2013 - 11:11pmIt would be cool to see David Tennant and Matt Smith in the same episode. I also think it would be cool if the Doctor discovers he has more regenerasions since River gave up hers.

January 7th, 2013 - 9:04pmTop Ten Things I’d like to see for the anniversary
1,Multi Doctor Story including old companions from new and classic series.
2,Bring back Galifrey and the Time Lords permanently.
3,The Rani and her Tardis
4,Somehow get Melody Pond back to Amy and Rory therefore River doesn’t become the River we known and therefore disappears from time and no longer is tied to being the Doctors Wife or has to die and be uploaded to the computer in the library.
5,Davros/Skaro
6,More alien worlds
7,The Return of Susan(a regeneration) and Jenny,The Doctors family maybe they found each other and have come to help the Doctor.
8,The first question answered at Trensalore but not to reveal too much about the Doctor.
9,Why the Doctor stole the Tardis in the first place
10,A regeneration of the master.
MKAKA
January 25th, 2013 - 12:58amThis is my ideal story.
1) First Doctor with Ian and Vicki
2) Second Doctor with Jamie and Zoe
3) Third Doctor with Jo Grant
4) Fourth Doctor with Romana II
5) Fifth Doctor with Tegan and Turlough (and maybe Nyssa)
6) Sixth Doctor with Peri
7) Seventh Doctor with Ace
8) Eighth Doctor with a new companion (NOT Grace)
9) Ninth Doctor with Rose
10) Tenth Doctor with Donna
11) Eleventh Doctor with Clara
12) Appearances from Sarah Jane, Leela, Torchwood, K9, Amy, Rory, Martha, and Mickey would be appreciated. It would be hard for the first three doctors and sarah jane, because they’re dead. But maybe our new technology could “resurrect” them.

January 26th, 2013 - 9:11pmI think it doctor who would be ruined if too much happened at once because how can an absolute explosive few episodes be followed up without criticism? There would be so many continuity issues to think about & it could be an overload..
However, there should be some amazing things that happen!
1) David tennant should come back & if the rumours that matt smith is regenerating are true David tennant should come back somehow for a few years! It’d be a first for the doctor to literally go back in time!
2) Rose Tyler should come back! I know she’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I loved her & it would be nice for her to be reuinted with the proper doctor & not fobbed off with the human one!
3) it would be interesting if the master came back but as a nice person on the doctors side, timelords reunited! Haha..
4) the woman hiding her face when gallifrey came back (possible the doctor’s mother) should be explained & if she is his mother they should make it clear
5) capitain jack harkness should come back & find out his destiny to become the face of boe!
6) the big evil in the show should be an old doctor (not tennant or eccleson though as they should come back good) because the doctor will be fighting himself, there should be like 2 teams of doctors against each other!
7) finally, doctor who should be true to itself & just let us enjoy the twists & turns that it always has! It’s an amazing show & I hope to remember the 50th show when the 100th show is airing!
P.S can David Tennant come back for the 100th anniversary too?!
The TARDIS
January 2nd, 2013 - 1:55pmOne thing that I think should not happen for the 50th is answering the question. Doctor Who has been around for nearly 50 years, and if it were answered then there would be no point in continuing the series as all of the mystery and interest would have been destroyed. What would be the point in destroying 50 years of mystery just because the series’ head writer got too big headed.
I think you can probably gather that I really don’t want any big story arc surrounding the anniversary story, just a fantastic stand-alone adventure.
simmon
January 7th, 2013 - 8:41pmI totally agree they shouldn’t reveal too much about the Doctor but maybe they could answer the question but the answer only reveals some connection between the Doctor and Rassilon that allows Rassilon to open the time lock on the time war, obviously the Doctor along with his other selves,past companions,the master and a few surprise guests manager to somehow win the time war allowing Galifrey and the Time lords to come back permanently.
thommas
April 21st, 2013 - 5:22pmThe tardis ur answer is great but simmon urs is probily the best I hope that happens but I think they also introduce a new character like the doctors long lost brother or something
the big secret
June 3rd, 2013 - 11:18pmSimmon your idea is good but the timelords were driven mad by the stress of the time war and were going to destroy reality like the daleks. the doctor destroyed the timelords to save reality
13 Doctors and All the masters
December 3rd, 2012 - 6:00pmI think for the 50th these people should take part:
Martha Donna Rose ALL THE MASTERS 10th doctor 11th doctor Romanna Susan Jenny(Rivers and doctors child) Doctors Mystery son River Amy Rory Torchwood Ace Sarah’s crew (apart from her as dead and Ace takes over) 9th Doctor 7th doctor Doctor’s human form ALL Daleks ALL Cybermen Weeping Angels Oods Oswin The Rani
Now I am only 10 years old and I think Donna should see 11 regenerating and she should touch him and she dies! (not really she becomes the new doctor, but more of a sister to the doctor………. The doctor is finnaly ginger!!!
River should be asking her dad Rory (who is the master) weather he loves her, Amy, Rose but he says Donna as he saves her from dying…. she remembers everything and the master helps her………
Lucy Saxon is Romanna. River is The Rani. Amy is also a timelord and Rory is The master.
Rose falls in trap like Donna with The Master.
Amy takes over Statues as she was the woman the end of the time who people said was the mother of the doctor whereas she’s the mother in law……….
River and Oswin take control of the daleks.
Rory takes control of the Cybermen.
Ace takes over the sarah jane crew as she has just died.
Rose married human form of the doctor.
9th Doctor, 7th doctor, 10th and 11 have a family reunion with Susan,Rose, human form of the doctor Amy River Rory Jenny the mystery son, but it is split up when all the masters come and share some family secerets….
Oods talk to the doctor and Dalek Khan about the future!
Chrissie Watts from EastEnders also takes part as a Cyberman like before!
Everyone has to fight for there lifes and Martha her family, Donna her family Jackie, Mickey Torchwood without Jack FAIL!!!!!!!!!
Donna has to regenerate into Jack as she fell on him whilst dying!
After 13 doctors there is no more because doctor Jack becomes the face of Boe and Dies later on.
The companions take over the Tardis After Jack.
We also would like to see the Regeneration of the eighth doctor..

November 18th, 2012 - 8:23amThe doctor arrives on trenzalore,where he meets his other selves,he is forced to speak his name,no one remembers him,the question is asked,he regenerates,but the question caused regeneration,because his name is a key,a terrible secret,that the doctor is rassilons son,rassilon uses the doctor to return,destroying his son
Part two
Rassilon plans to destroy the universe and bring back the time lords,can the doctor’s save there future self and help him regenerate into his 12 th self,the doctors then all regenerate destroying rassilons link forever.
Anonymous
November 18th, 2012 - 8:25amBasically the doctor’s name is a key,rassilon made years ago,to return,the doctor can never reveal it as it is connected to rassilon,the doctor maybe rassilons son,if said,then the doctor could cause chaos by revealing he is rassilons son

November 21st, 2012 - 3:21pmI want to see River Song Battle Rassilon And time lord in 50th anniversary of doctor who so the doctor and the master Battle The silence and grayle from the angel take manhattan

Fields of Trenzalore fall of the elevent silence will fall the question dr who
November 11th, 2012 - 8:45amThe 11 doctors arrive on trenzalore,an ancient world,or even dimensional void,where the doctor meets the silents,a guardian race who look after and rule the universe since the dawn of time and created an order of servants called the silence who help them,but today something will happen,the silents must prevent this,a secret will be told ,one that must never be spoken
robert baker
November 10th, 2012 - 9:37amI think they should do 4 1 hours episodes each written by a classic writer
Lera
November 9th, 2012 - 10:54amIts all very interesting, but I think that isn’t a good idea to invite all Doctors. Maybe, it will be better if the Doctor meet another “last” Time Lord without TARDIS, who decided to… Mm… do something unusual. And at the end he will forgive the Doctor. Or NEW monsters!
Or Doctor Who Festival.
