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?

    the doctor is taken out of time at the end of series 7 after the silence find he is alive,he is taken to trenzalore,a planet base of secrets,there he faces an army and the silents who are controllers of time and space,trenzalore is there planet,a world at the heart of history and the silents want to ask a question of a man who has been wiped from universal data,the doctor is forced to answer by post hypnotic suggestion and he answers the question which he then gets angry and starts to remeber those who have died because of him,he then destroys trenzalore which is the controlling thing of the silents causing them to vanish and the universe to change.the silents realise how dangerous the doctor is by legends of there home world/base which causes a war.

    Mondasian cybermen – they are now working WITH humans from Earth in a desperate race against time to survive. The project they are working on: a new, enhanced human, which they achieve… the new enhanced human? The first of the time lords… though it must remain a secret, to protect all concerned from the Daleks – and that’s also why Dr. Who needs to protect humanity and the cybermen without destroying either, as they work toward the fixed point in time: the establishment of the power source for Gallifrey that is created far in the future and then transported back to the past – with the time lords, time is not so linear…

    A better Doctor? A better writer? That’s just harsh and it won’t happen anytime soon. And if you want lot’s and LOT’S of Daleks, watch Asylum of the Daleks! Then tell me that you want a better writer.

    What I want for the 50th anniversary:

    1) A better Doctor

    News spreads of the Doctors battle on the fields of trenzalore against the silence and Rose, Martha, Mickey, Captain Jack, Gwen, Jackie, Pete etc: travel to trenzalore to try and save him. Their are weeping angels to guard the fields of trenzalore to stop anybody getting in other than the silence. the angels are weak and so can’t send any one back in time, can only kill, the companions manoeuvre around the angels with the aid of Martha who is the only companion who knows how they work. The Silence capture the companions and let them free, knowing that the Doctor will soon be following and he must not arrive because he may answer the question that will make the silence fall. Millions and millions of silence march the fields guarded by hundreds of weeping angels all to ensure that the Doctor will not arrive and answer the question. The Doctor appears out the vortex and flies around the fields in the TARDIS, The silence open there mouths and fire at the TARDIS, it flies low, making some silence jump out of the way, they hit each other with bolts of electricity trying to hit the TARDIS. The TARDIS smashes through the huge, Glass windows of the Silent parliament, and crashes to the floor, The Doctor climbs out with a clever contraption and pretends its a huge bomb, he tells the silence that if they come nearer he will blow up the whole parliament, he manages to manoeuvre to an escape route by clever persuasion and eventually escapes, the silence still believing this device to be a bomb. The Doctor forgets about the silence as he has looked away and wonders into a metallic room where hundreds of silence are nesting, they open their mouths and attack, they have captured the Doctor and are ready to kill…

    Very good ideas, but I can’t help thinking, even for the 50th, a universal reorganisation and sad ending is a bit much for Who. Save for that, this is brilliant!

    Whilst it would be nice to have old Doctors coming back I’d much rather see old companions coming back.

  • Jonathan

    October 8th, 2012 - 5:14pm

    For old companions and old Doctors to come back in a big episode and the top five classic episodes to be shown during the week and every new Doctor Who episode to be shown before the special.

    Mark Gatiss is writing a documentary-cum-drama, dramaticising the origins of Doctor Who, not the anniversary episode. But I know what you mean – I wouldn’t have expected Gatiss to be doing it.

    All (or lost of) Doctor’s collide meet each other and argue loads. That would be too funny! Each Doctor could have a different companion too. Then they all have to work together to defeat aliens. Dalek’s, Cybermen…
    Ones that all the Doctor’s have met.

    Whoops! Said that twice one as a reply sorry!

    I’m surprised Mark Gatiss is writing it, I thought SM would. I think he and RT should write one together.

    oops, wrote it in twice… can you delete that above Booboo? I’ll rewrite it.

  • The TARDIS

    October 8th, 2012 - 4:44pm

    Okay. This is the full list of EVERYTHING I think we should have:
    1. A TV series with Paul McGann. Don’t care who the companion is, just… Paul McGann. Please?
    2. A 3 or 4 disc story from Big Finish with the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Doctors.
    3. A massive convention with classic actors, directors and writers as well as new series ones.
    4. A series of past Doctor books from BBC Books.
    5. A new five-part story broadcast episodically every evening on the week leading up to Saturday 23rd November.
    6. 10 past doctor stories on BBC 3 (one for each Doctor) after the five new episodes.
    7. Something along the lines of the Doctor Who: A celebration book released at the 20th anniversary.
    8. Multi-companion companion chronicles.
    9. Definitive books for each Doctor comprising of episode guides, Doctor, companion and monster profiles, info on adventures on audio, in print and in comics and behind-the-scenes information.
    10. Obviously, a special two hour episode on the 23rd with past Doctors, a short scene in Totters Yard and old companions and monsters. The companions don’t even have to be in their ordinary roles, they could be in different parts, just as long as they are there. Okay. This is the full list of EVERYTHING I think we should have:

    Definately a multi doctor story which could include at least some of the classic doctors and all of the recent one’s that’s if Ecclestone wants to come back as there have been a few conflicting reports about weather or not he wants to.

  • Trenzalore 64

    October 8th, 2012 - 2:47pm

    I think it should just be a massive episode where all the doctors main enemys return, i would also like to see christopher eccelstion and david tennant come back.
