    1. ALL THE DOCTORS from WILLIAM HARTNELL onwards should be brought back (via cgi or other actors where applicable).

    2. Doctors GRANDAUGHTER SUSAN(carole ann ford) should REGENERATE into a younger version.

    3. PAUL MCGANN should REGENERTATE into CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON in the time war against the daleks and galifrey.

    4. As many past COMPANIONS should be brought back as possible!

    A 50TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL SHOULD PLEASE ALL DOCTOR WHO FANS YOUNG AND OLD FROM THE PAST 50 YEARS – OTHERWISE IT JUST ISN’T REALLY MARKING 50 YEARS!!!

    You guys need to listen to this!

    Vashta Nerada [Doctor Who Theme] by Traffic Experiment – Official Music Video

    Search it up on You-Tube and I promise that you won’t regret it! I think that something like this should be used as the 50th anniversary theme tune but with a bit more “oomph” if you get what I mean!

    October 5th, 2012 - 2:30am

    Episode 1: The Silence Rise. The Silents (Species) confront the Doctor and take him to the hall of Trenzalore, his companion forced to stay behind. The headless monks guard the area. The Silence blame the Doctor for the fall. They all then open their “mouths”. While they are occupied, he runs back to the TARDIS. He finds a time portal opening as he unlocks the TARDIS and some past doctor item comes through.

    Episode 2: Bigger on The Inside. Malfunctioning TARDIS, hallucinations of past companions or enemies, doors leading to various places in history and meetings with past doctors, in the end turns out to be Master (from afar) and he does the creepy transparent thing.

    Episode 3: The On Gone Storm. TARDIS (not fixed) is brought to Trenzalore again and flies into the time portal, thrown into alternate universe where The Doctor didn’t exist and absolutely everything that was ever going to go wrong with the universe did. He escapes back through the portal. He wonders who would have sent him there. He then finds Oswin Oswald (Series 7b was ganger or robot or relative or something), who has been given back her human form but her mind has been hijacked and turned Dalek. She walks up a hill, and reveals a Dalek army behind it, then yells out Exterminate, which is soon repeated by all the Daleks.

    Episode 4: In a Heartbeat. The Doctor runs to the TARDIS, but inside finds only empty corridors. Eventually he hears a voice, and goes towards it. He doesn’t see anyone, but hears drumming, soon after turning around to see the Master tapping on the wall. The Doctor realizes the Master was the one who had created the portal and hijacked the TARDIS. The Master replies by snapping his fingers, disappearing, and sending the Doctor to the control room. The TARDIS pilots itself back to Trenzalore, where the headless monks are preventing any attempts at escape. A recorder falls through the portal. The Doctor glances at it, looking back to see a scarf fall through, and shortly after a piece of celery and a Banana. The TARDIS falls through then flies up high into the air. Mid-flight, another one comes out, and after that a third, and so on. People begin falling out of them. One stands up, revealed to be the First Doctor (Color shot of his face can be edited on to a guy wearing a costume). The Second Doctor (same thing) is next to him. The Third (again), forth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth (I will not repeat myself). The first starts regenerating, as do the others in the order they fell.

    Episode 5: In Plain Sight. All the Doctors fall down. 1 regenerated to a completely different version of 2, same with 2 to 3, and 8 to 9. Most others regenerate with increased age. The 11th is shocked, but cannot afford to wait. He turns to the TARDIS, but it dematerializes. The Daleks hover over the Doctors. The headless monks pull out their weapons, and the Silents widen their mouths. The TARDIS appears again, and the master steps out laughing madly. The Silents surround the Doctor. The Doctors all suddenly stand up and release their regeneration energy to the same place, then collapse again. The Master walks towards it, and absorbs all of the regeneration energy. He says that they didn’t shoot out all of the energy, but had given him enough to regenerate one more time, properly, and to make 11 the last Doctor. The new set of Doctors are extremely weak, but all of them manage to stand up. The Master orders the Doctors into the TARDIS, and lines them up in the zero room. Here most doctors are delusional and want their companions, which the Master supplies holograms of. They stay in the room, but the Master takes the 11th to another room with a doorway in front of him. The Doctor is not very worried for a moment, and says the Master can’t do anything, until a Weeping angel appears straight in front of him from the doorway. He is suddenly very worried. The rest of the Doctors interact with their holograms quite positively, until the Sarah Jane hologram starts looping around (Use footage from old episodes for the holograms). After it is fixed, all the Doctors realize the companions aren’t real. They start to recover from their regenerations, look at each other and realize they are older than normal, and see the regenerations went differently in several cases. They find the companions are still there, and are now trying to stop them from escape. The 11th Doctor is very frightened from the angel, talking to it to try and stop it from attacking, but eventually he blinks and it tries to grab his arm, but only gets his jacket. The rest of the Doctors eventually shut down the holograms, but are quite quickly taken by the master. The weeping angel touches the 11th. All of the Doctors turn up in one room. The Master walks up to the 11th, holding a sonic weapon up to his head. The Doctor pulls it out, starting to disable the weapon, but aims it towards the other Doctors. They all pull out their screwdrivers, and quickly put them down. The Eighth Doctor pulls out a similar weapon to the Master’s, and shoots the Third Doctor. He starts regenerating, until a gunshot is heard. The 11th Doctor is seen holding it, followed by a flash of light and the screen going black

    Episode 6: Into Oblivion. The Forth through Eleventh Doctors find themselves in the void. As the Doctor was a complicated space-time event, killing the third doctor has obliterated him and taken all future incarnations out of existence. The Doctors, now fully recovered from their regenerations, are quite mad at the eighth and eleventh Doctors, who say . After they argue in a Doctor-ish way, another Tenth Doctor appears with many of his companions. People randomly appear from random spaces and times in the universe, such as companions, strangers, historical figures, potential companions (who died before they got to the TARDIS), lots of Doctors, and versions of characters from parallel universes (meaning they can be played by different actors or be older). The Eleventh Doctor remembers the Dalek Reality Bomb. With no Doctor, the entire Multiverse is inside the void, and nothing ever existed save the Daleks. 8 versions of the TARDIS appear, and each incarnation of the Doctor walks into their TARDIS. They find it normal, but are then all taken to Trenzalore.

    Episode 7: The First Question. The planet of Trenzalore is dragged back into existence with every version of the Doctor’s TARDIS. A future version of the Master, who already knew the Doctor’s name, comes out, and says that this is fixed beyond being broken, and that he already has heard the truth. The present Master also appears to make it fixed, and to make it fixed within the Doctor’s prior knowledge by having the other Doctors watch. Daleks are guarding everything nearby. A Silent walks up to the Doctor and reads through something, ending dramatically by asking; Doctor Who? The Doctor doesn’t answer, but walks to his TARDIS. All other Doctors follow. They shut the doors and dematerialize. They try to get back to the Void, but have trouble doing so individually. They land in the same spot, which causes all of their TARDIS’ to merge into one. They still cannot pilot it well, so mentally interface straight to the TARDIS. They get to the void, but only 11 can easily free himself. He cannot free the others at all, though they may be able to free themselves. The Forth Doctor is absorbed into the heart of the TARDIS, which also takes in the rest of the doctors. The Eleventh finds Idris inside, who is willing to let them all leave. However, the Doctors stay inside the heart of the TARDIS, only 11 leaving. The Void now contains all of reality, save for Daleks, the Master, and the Silence. The TARDIS interior has been redesigned, and is now to a degree piloting itself. Reality has been reorganized and everything is where it is meant to be (Though none of it technically exists). Back in what was once the universe, Trenzalore is seen. The Dalek ships are merely wreckage, the Silence are all dead, and the Master is dying. He is making very faint noises, but eventually they stop and his eyes close. At that moment, the universe is silent.

    Wow, I’m 12 and have been watching the show since I was 3 years old when they were running repeats of the classic episodes on the ABC. Old Who had a low budget, bubble rap/tin foil monsters and aliens and boring story lines (sometimes). Don’t get me wrong I love old who and some of my favorite Doctor’s are from the old who era but there were so many mistakes and plot wholes during that time.

    I agree that the new era of Who can be annoyingly confusing but at least they have a decent budget and it’s not hated by the BBC like it was towards the late 80’s thanks to JNT’s terrible take on the show.

    series 8 sees river’s finale journey to the singing towers of darlium and as we head to the library.the doctor arrives and must sacrafice his love and himself.so he goes to the data core and goes with river.he sends his eleventh self to live with river and regenrates in the library to number 12.a new era begins.the library episode is the end of series eight called,river,the doctor and the library .

    series 9 sees a new doctor and a new story arc.maybe the valeyard which could link to my 50th anniversary idea,the doctors name could have triggered something else as well.

    this is all my ideas it may neve happen,i just wanted to write some stories,but if moffat came on here he could use it.

    please reply if you like my stories.please do.

    the unsolved things ready to set up new arcs.is the doctor’s name[may never be told,part of the show]

    the universe knowing he is alive.

    maybe regenration

    but the episode solves all the story arc,that is just my idea for what may happen

    the silents maybe connected to time lords or like time lords.but that maybe the last of them

    this story airs on novemeber 23rd 2013

    before this story we get other anniversary episodes but standalones,not even to do with this episode.maybe time war or daleks,the master.

    after this we get christmas

    then series 8 and maybe an old enemy returns.which maybe connected to the doctor telling everyone he is alive.so the anniversary sets up another arc for an old enemy and the death of the 11th doctor.

    the title is the fall of the eleventh.also in this one the doctor may regenerate.but it is not the fall of the eleventh,in my story.look above,that is what i think the fall of the eleventh is.old doctors tell the silents they are doctor.silents ask question using post hypnotic suggestion,making no living creature lie or fail to answer,the doctor does not answer or does he,we don’t know,but he tells everyone he is alive causing fear and war.the story may reveal the doctor’s actual name,but won’t be heard.

    parts of the doctor’s name maybe told why it is dangerous,but in this one it causes war,whole armies run away.that is the fall of the eleventh,the fear of the doctor’s name to everyone,he is alive,the man who killed his race.

    across time and space everyone is asking,one question,doctor who?because the doctor has been wiped from memory.the tardis is taken out of time to a planetary base called trenzalore,the doctor remebers the legends of this place.soon he is kidnapped by the sentinels of history[the silents]a time court.the silents start to question the doctor as a mysterious person,they ask him questions,as they have tracked this mystery guy down as everyone has been talking about him,they want him on trial for his crimes and his mystery.little do they know the doctor did something and soon old doctors come back.

    part 2
    the old doctors have returned to help the doctor escape the time court.the doctor reveals everyone has forgotten who he is for too long.the doctor must reveal one more time who he is,this is the fall of the eleventh as the doctors greatest fall comes.the old doctors reveal to the silents who they are.the doctor,the silents ask the question doctor who?the doctor sends the answer everywhere across time and space,the universe know he is alive.soon war comes,his is alive,everyone knows.the fall of the eleventh,has come,the doctor has failed and war has come.the silents go back in time to stop the events coming,they do the pandorica and the astronaut,little knowing they caused it all.
    they killed the doctor,he was wiped from the universe and then put him on trial,then old doctors return to save the doctor from the silents,then ask the question,then the doctor sends it everywhere.causing fear and the silence go back in time to stop this.the doctors manage to send the silents into war as there kind of the cause,the silents are wiped out.the doctors go home and the doctor has a break now knowing the truth of the whole story arc.

    he was set up in the pandorica,killed by river song,wiped from the universe,brought to trenzalore[the silents base],held captive,the old doctor returned,the silents asked the question,he sent the answer everywhere,everyone knows he is alive,the doctor causes war and sends the silents into it.they eventually try to blow up the tardis,set up the pandorica and cause it all again.a paradox.

    the silents set up there religion as they feared the doctor and war.his reveal caused a war,because he was dead.so that is why it is dangerous.the silents are a judge group.the fall of the 11th is when the eleventh doctor answer the question,revealing everywhere he is alive.causing war and starting the arc over again.

    unsolved things.nothing much really,it kind of closes it all up.

    this may never happen just my idea

  • the ponds wait no more

    September 22nd, 2012 - 8:57am

    afterwards.part 2

    the doctors are back to help make the universe remeber how powerful they are,to make entire species fear them once again.the doctors must save the doctor from the time court known also as the sentinels of history who start to put plans in place to stop the events happening,they build there religion to stop the start of a war in which the doctors return to show everyone who they are.they go back in the doctors timeline to do the pandorica and the astronaut suit little do they know they caused it all in the first place as they killed the doctor,the doctor was wiped from memory and they manipulated events to end up on there planet or base,trenzalore.to ask the question,which brings back old doctors to remind everyone who they are which then causes a war and starts all over again.

    the fall of the eleventh will be when the silence put the doctor on trial and ask the question which brings back old doctors and eventually remind the universe who they are.

    but mysteries remain leading more story arc about the silents,who are they.is there more to come

    I think that the start should be Amy, Rory and the Doctor inside the TARDIS. They’re talking about where they could go, when suddenly something grabs hold of the TARDIS in space. The Doctor tries to get away, but the thing pulls the TARDIS to a small street on Earth. The Doctor tells Amy and Rory to stay inside while he goes to check things out. He walks towards the door and opens it slowly. He looks back at Amy and Rory for a second, and then walks out. He sees that the whole street is alight, people running around screaming and he hears little children crying. He went to take a step forward, when 4 people, well what he thought were people, in black suits and helmets come and grab him. They take him and beat him up. They then throw him onto the road. Meanwhile, in the TARDIS, Amy and Rory become impatient and decide to go out. They see the Doctor lying on the side of the street. They run to him. He has blood on his face and has been knocked unconscious. He is whispering ‘help me’. They both grab him and help me up and take him towards the TARDIS, but it has gone. They turn to each other in despair. Amy asks Rory what are they supposed to do. A woman, who had been watching came over. She said to Amy ‘you can take him into my home, it’s on the other street, and he’ll be safe there.’ Amy and Rory follow the woman to her house. When they come in, they lay the Doctor on the sofa and sit down. The woman goes into the kitchen to get them a drink. The woman comes back and hands them their drinks, she then asks them who he is and who they are. They explain to her that they aren’t supposed to be there. They then ask the woman who she is, and if she had seen what had happened. She told them that she had seen him come out of the Police box, and that she had seen them beat him up and throw him to the curb. They then ran off. She had also told them that the ‘people’ were the ones that had caused all the devastation. As they were talking, a blue light had appeared over the Doctor, and he had then disappeared.
    The Doctor finally woke up. He felt the cold surface on his face and shot up. He looked around everywhere. “Where am I? Where are Amy and Rory?” He said to himself. He walked around. He was in a small, plain room. No windows, just a white room. There was a small device on one wall. He walked to it, and he saw you put your hand on to open the door. He put his hand on it carefully. At first it didn’t work, but the second time, a small part of the wall sunk and a door appeared. He walked out, just to find another blank room. But, there was a small, white desk in this one. He went to it and found a red book under it. He took it and slowly opened the cover. There was a picture of his last self. There was a tick across the picture. “What?” He whispered looking at the picture puzzled. He then turned the page again, it was a double page. On the left of the double page there was a picture of his ninth regeneration. And on all the pages there were pictures of all his regenerations with ticks through them, apart from the first three, they all had crosses through them. Then, on the last page, there was a picture of him. It had a cross in it. But, it suddenly changed into a tick. What did this mean? Then a voice from a small speaker in the corner of the room came on. The Doctor quickly dropped the book. “So, Doctor, I finally have you.” Said the voice over the speaker. It was definitely a man’s voice. It was very croaky and low. “Who are you and how did I get here?” Shouted the Doctor. He looked extremely angry. “Someone you have met before and someone you thought you had got rid of!” Replied the voice. The Doctor ignored him and looked for a way out. He found another device on the wall which opened another door. The next room was different. It had eight cylinders. Only seven of them had someone in. They had all the Doctor’s regenerations contained in the cylinders. The one that was empty was obviously for this Doctor. Whack. That’s what the Doctor heard next. Whack. Someone had smacked him across the head with something and he fell to the floor. The ‘thing’ dragged him across the floor and locked him in his cylinder.

    Tell me what you think, btw, i posted this with a different name cos it didn’t come up with ‘person’.

    or the doctor thing can work if the 9th or 10th doctor dies and they regenerate into their next form which then will create a dilema because their wil be two of the same doctors. we already had two 11 doctors but no 10th doctors so the 9th doctor will have to regenerate into the 10th doctor and if the 10th doctor will regenerate again, it would ruin his farewell inb the end of time 😀

    Well, the maze thing does sound good. But, there are a few holes in your plan. First of all, Christopher Eccleston said he won’t come back. And, the second one isn’t really a whole, but it would have to be a companion that dies, this is because if you killed the 9th or 10th then there would be no 11th, and if you killed the 11th, then there will be no more Doctor who whatsoever. But, apart from that everything is good I think 🙂 Oh, how old are you by the way to come up with that genius maze idea?

    August 22nd, 2012 - 4:05pm

    A story with doctors 9,10 & 11 with most of the companions returning, mostly emotiinal ending (killing one of the doctors or companions maybe) an unforgettable episode where everyime you watch it it still makes you cry or think “i don’t want it to end”, one scene where they have to go through a huge maze where they see monsters like weeping angels, daleks, cybermen, sontarans..ect, more about the time war & the question “Doctor Who?” answered. what do u think about my idea?
