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?

    anything other than a multi doctor story. most people will kill me for saying that but I really don’t want to see a multi doctor story. And a sad ending. now everyone will think i’m depressed to.

      they cant really do the multi doctor ones any more as the actors from the classic series are quite old and look nothing like what they did back in the day.

      p.s. resolution to the time war anyone?

    Here’s my idea, and I’m making it up as I write.
    The Doctor is messing about with the TARDIS again, and of course good rarely comes from that. Meanwhile, Rassilon use the Hand Of Omega to return Galifrey to the universe without releasing anything else. This causes the Doctor to get shocked, and he comes face to face with his 4th, 8th, and 10th incarnations. The Master warns the Doctor about the Time Lords, who find him and execute him. The Doctor contacts the Dalek Supreme, who agrees to an alliance with him. The Doctor decides to use the Key Of Time, and so the Doctors, Jenna Louise Coleman, and a squadron of Daleks search for the key, and after facing multiple dangers (Including Cybermen, Silurians, and dinosaurs), they journey to Galifrey, and while the Daleks fight off the Time Lords, the Doctors team up and fight Rassilon, who is too much for all the Doctors. River Song shows up and shoots Rassilon, and the Doctors return Galifrey to the Time War. The past Doctors are sent back to their own time after a friendly goodbye, but the Daleks betray the Doctor and try to steal the Key Of Time, but are tricked and are trapped in the Time Vortex.
    Watcha think?

      Also, the 7th Doctor, with Tom Baker narrating, and Rassilon sends enemies of the Doctor after him.
      The first segment would be on Telos, where Rassilon sends Cybermen. The Daleks/Doctors/JLC find the key and a stray Dalek blast ends up awakening the old Cybermen, who kill the Cybus ones.
      The second segment is on Mars, where they get attacked by the flood and escape into an Ice Warrior base, where they are attacked, but the Daleks exterminate the attacking Ice Warriors, however, Rassilons agents, the Sontarans attack and kill the Ice Warriors, but are exterminated, while the Doctors find the key.
      The third segent is on the Oodsphere, but the Zygons sent by Rassilon are also there, but are killed by Daleks and Ood, and the key is given to them by Ood Sigma.
      The fourth is on Mondas, in 1985. The local Cybermen try to upgrade the gang, but are killed by indignant Daleks at being called inferior, as Rassilon’s Sycorax attack them. The Cybermen try to upgrade the Sycorax, but are killed. Some of the Mondasians resisting the Cybermen help them find the key, which is in the Cyberbase, but the gang retrieve it.
      The fifth is on parallel Earth, where the Doctor reunites with Rose Tyler, who has married the 10th Doctor duplicate. However, Rassilon has sent Haemovores to kill them. The Haemovores kill most of parallel Torchwood, but are defeated by the Daleks. JLC finds the key and they leave.
      The sixth is on Galifrey itself, and is in Rassilon’s sceptor. They retrieve it when River kills Rassilon.

      And when the Daleks are sent into the Time Vortex, they land on Earth, damaged, but alive, in an abandoned warehouse, where they are greeted by Davros….

      your idea is great, but i think the movie should be related with previous events…

Well can have a animated The 11 doctors which some the voice William Hartnel, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee.

      Now that is a good idea, we’ve never really seen how the Doctor views the universe through his own eyes, that would be very interesting.

      Then again, I wonder what it feels like to regenerate, cos the 10th Doctor said to Wilf that each time he changes it feels like dying, but for all we know, it probably feels like fire with a tingling sensation all over the body.

      I would like to see all surviving Doctors and companions (assuming they want to do it ) have some role, no matter how small, playing other characters throughout series 8 (assuming that’s how its going to work) It would also be nice to see family members of Williams Hartnell, Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee have a part.

      I dont think a multi Doctor / companion story would work – it would be to much.

      More than anything i would like to see Paul McGann in a major part, possibly in flashback to the end of the time war. Its not going to happen as Christopher Eccleston wont return to the part but would have liked to get to see the missing regeneration.

      I would also like to see a return to trotters lane of some sort

      i hate the idea of a multi Dr story. if the three and five doctors taught us anything, its that in the end the plot drags and falls apart and everyone looks a bit silly. i also think that the show has grown up since then so it cant have these flimsy story lines. if people want good 50th anniversary, it cant be multi doctor.

    the fourth-11th doctors
    the master
    omega
    the daleks
    emperor dalek
    davros
    one companion for each dr
    the cybermen (leader, controller, etc)
    the sontarans
    river song
    the silence
    the weeping angels

    the plot:
    the dr (11) accidentally presses the wrong button on the TARDIS and it beams some of his past selves on board, only they look like what they would if they did not regenerate. he tries to send them back but brings their companions on board who again look like what they would if they hadn’t regenerated/left/died he tries to send them all back but instead ends up on the fields of trenzalore face to face with some of his deadliest enemies, he has to stop them, but how?…

    A good name for a mini-series. bridging the gap between the TV Movie [ as well as all the 8th Doctor Audio, Comic-Strip and Novel adventures ]and the the New Series first episode ” Rose “, showing how the war began and ended with the death and regeneration of the 8th Doctor into the 9th, and could also be used to answer various questions like ” What was the Cruciform the Master was resurrected to protect ? ” and ” How exactly did the Cult of Skaro Daleks get hold of the Genesis Ark before disappearing off with it during the Time War ? “.

    I have my own idea for a Special 50th Episode which would consist of 5 episodes.

    “Time of a Timelord” (will feature loads of classic enemies and of course the daleks with the emperor and a “Dalek Mastermind”. The daleks recruit a renegade time-lord to snatch one of the Doctors regenerations, forcing him to regenerate. This would happen on the Fields of Trenzalore. The timelords would return also and other incarnations of the Doctor. It turns out the Fields of Trenzalore are on gallifrey, the episode would be set just as the time war is beginning.

    As many Doctors and companions as possible.
    The First, Second, Third Doctor , Sarah Jane and the Brigadier should be added through archive footage or CGI

      cgi is not as advanced as everyone makes out! I am not directing at you, but loads of other people say “just use cgi” ot one said “they should keep dooing SJA with a cgi Sarah”! Yes, cgi can pull of monsters or long shots like when the doctor is dangaling from the tardis but it would not look real!
