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 TARDIS
April 28th, 2012 - 9:43amOne thing that I would really like would be a series of TV stories with Paul McGann. He’s brilliant on audio and in comics, and never really got to establish his character on TV, so a special anniversary series would be brilliant. If it went down well in the ratings, it could possibly continue for rurther series’. Preferably not sticking to Leekley’s ideas though.

April 28th, 2012 - 9:09amThe Doctor’s universe starts seeping through into the our universe (where its a tv show). The Doctor traces the problem to the one place he’d never expect; the fields of Trenzalore, which is located on the ruins of Gallifrey. The only way to send the universes back to where they belong is for the Doctor to make his biggest ‘fall’, he must reveal who he is at the exact time of 5:19pm (ftransmission time of the first episode) on the Saturday 23rd November 2013. The episode should be called ‘Doctor Who?’. The episode should inclued the 11th Doctor, 10th Doctor (whether its the half-human one or the 100% Time Lord one, it does not matter), Captin Jack, River Song, Amy or Rory (depending on which one dies in Series 7 Episode 5), the Master (working with the Doctor, not against him), the Doctor’s brother (who has been trapped on the ‘real Earth’ for a long time), the Silence, Weeping Angels, Daleks and Cybermen

April 29th, 2012 - 8:27amIt’s been done dude.
Red Dwarf – Series IX [ Back to Earth ].
doctorwhofan27
April 29th, 2012 - 8:18pmyes but red dwarf’s a joke. no, but seriously, it’s a sitcom. Doctor Who would take it seriously.
Jason doctorwhoone
May 1st, 2012 - 4:41pmdoctorwhofan27 – BBC’s ” Hyperdrive ” TV Series was a joke, it’s always been viewed as a copycat to Red Dwarf.
Andrew
April 28th, 2012 - 7:28amMy other idea was that one of the Doctor’s previous selves is killed by the Silence and Kavarian who are out of options to stop the Doctor from answering “THE QUESTION”. The Doctor starts to fade away from time and he must find and save his other selves (David Tennant, Christopher Eccleston, Paul Mcgann etc). He Succeeds in doing so but is being hunted down by the Daleks and the Cybermen who have been manipulated by the Silence. Now the 11th Doctor has to travel back to his very beginning at Totters lane, with the old police box in the junk yard and prevent history from being changed before reality itself is threatened by the loss of the Universes greatest saviour. The Doctor himself.
Give me a Dalek any day
April 28th, 2012 - 4:45pmThat’s a great idea! 😀
Andrew
April 28th, 2012 - 6:54amI think it’d be cool if the Silence manipulated the Time War to happen. When the 11th Doctor finds out he realises that the Time war should never of happend and tries to return history to it’s previous course. He then stummbles across his 10th, 9th and 8th incarnations as the 11th Doctor can’t do something like this on his own. He eventually sets history straight but is shot down by the Silence where he returns to the TARDIS to regenerate! Not to forget the Daleks and the Cybermen.
bow-ties, r and always will be, cool!
April 28th, 2012 - 12:55amit doesent matter what it is, as long as its doctor who, it will be amazing like it always is!
Chris
April 27th, 2012 - 11:52pmI’d like to see Tom Baker return in the 50th Anniversary narrating the story in his burgundy costume in a gothic-like throne room, looking a lot older and more wiser than we have ever seen him before. The role of the narrating Fourth Doctor I thought in mind would not be part of time travel, but as a manifestation after the events of Logopolis. Tom would have the opportunity to perform that character than he ever did before. He is a legend to all Who fans everywhere.
doctorwhofan27
April 29th, 2012 - 8:21pmNarrating Fourth Doctor’s been done. Shada release on VHS.
Chris
May 6th, 2012 - 7:37pmShada is an incomplete story. In a manner of speaking it was Tom Baker narrating the story, not the Doctor!
the TARDIS
April 27th, 2012 - 6:48pmIn the future, some scientist is developing a time machine which the Doctor is trying to stop before it’s activeated. Once turned on, the michine splits time open, and everything begins to change. We see old companions back but that have all lived entirely differnet lives, some various past doctors (but only in fairly small parts) but River Song has remained the same. The Doctor knows that only she can really save the day as his past begins to change and he becomes completely different. River can’t cope with it, so she uses a hundred years of her life to stop the experiment. When everything is returned to normal, the Doctor takes River to the Singing Towers of Darillium, where he hands her a newly made sonic screwdriver and walks off, crying, into the distance…
the astronaut of death
April 27th, 2012 - 8:03pmvery intresting
Mattwho
April 27th, 2012 - 9:45pmsounds great
stewie
April 28th, 2012 - 8:50amI like the bit where he takes her to the singing towers of darrilium, making their whole friendship add up, clever.
StompingFreak
April 27th, 2012 - 6:42pmThe Time war. Paul Mcgann, Chris Eccleston(for regen) Matt Smith for intro/ending and naration.
2hr spec. in two parts.
doctorwhofan27
April 29th, 2012 - 8:22pmnot two parts. the anniversary is only one day.
booboo the third
April 27th, 2012 - 5:14pmok listen to this please the doctor and jenna loise coleman stumble into river but it turns out that jenna loise coleman knows river and she really hates her and they have a fight and then she kills river but then she comes back because she once use her holoosonagenic lipstick on him once and his powers rubbed off on her and then when she wakes up she sas to the doctor come on honey wer’re going to the libary and the doctor says no river asks why and then the doctor says spoiles the end
booboo the third
April 27th, 2012 - 5:15pmsorry forgot to mention what do you think booboo
Some bloke
April 27th, 2012 - 6:07pmWell i dont know what booboo thinks, but I think the end is VERY interesting!
stewie
April 27th, 2012 - 11:21amI wouldn’t mind if tim burton wrote an episode for doctor who. just saying.
the 50th anneversary should see the return of the most powerful beings of dr who including:
special weapons dalek
raston robot
mechanoids
the destroyer
fenric
it should also see the return of the scariest of monsters including:
the empty child
werewolf
the beast
the family of blood
pegg dolls
vashta nerada
any more ideas?
doctorwhofan27
April 27th, 2012 - 11:49ami’d mind if tim burton wrote an episode. he’s terrible with already established characters. he had batman kill. he’d probably have the doctor kill for fun.
stewie
April 27th, 2012 - 11:55amSorry, i havn’t seen his batman film, i’ve seen corpse bride, nightmare before christmas and coraline and they were good.
cyber contoller
May 17th, 2012 - 9:25amwhat about daleks
Stormageddon II
October 26th, 2012 - 10:24amSpecial Weapons.
stewie
April 27th, 2012 - 9:47amhas anyone seen that anime doctor who video on you tube. it is awesome, if your struggleing to find it it is 12 mins long and has imperial daleks on it.
perhaps they should find the guy who made that video and make it into a big screen hit
ps. did anyone know jenna luoise coleman was in waterloo road?
crazy guy
April 27th, 2012 - 4:03pmyes i did know that and i have seen that video it is cool
Some bloke
April 27th, 2012 - 6:05pmWell i dont know what booboo thinks, but I think the end is VERY interesting
Some bloke
April 27th, 2012 - 6:06pmsoz wrong person
Anonymous
April 27th, 2012 - 6:18pmi like the end where the supreme dalek wakes up, i am unhappy that the special weapons dalek wasn’t in it for long
Twelth Cyber Legion
April 27th, 2012 - 7:51pmoh yeah ive seen that, i gotta say that the cybermen are AWESOME!!
stewie
April 28th, 2012 - 8:14amyeah they were quite cool, i like the daleks better though
Dalek Sec
April 27th, 2012 - 9:11amKovarian, her religious solders, and the Silence, try to stop the Doctor from answering the question. The question which will connect a link, and bring back gallifrey. Doing this which ensure the resurrection of Omega, now the most powerful being in the universe. Old Enemies are returning, The Doctors meets most of his other incarnations. And the Doctors Final Day with Riversong is coming.
Some bloke
April 27th, 2012 - 9:13amthat sounds really good and from eveything we’ve seen so far, thats also a feesable idea. I Like it!
Dalek Sec
April 27th, 2012 - 10:15amThanx. Both Moffat and Davies had done something so big, but only as big enough to not be ridiculous. I hope to see something like that.
crazy guy
April 27th, 2012 - 4:04pmthat is the best idea on this page i hope the 50Th will be simmalir to this
Some bloke
April 27th, 2012 - 4:35pmit’s the most LIKELY story.
I would like to see my idea come to life
stewie
April 27th, 2012 - 7:22amMy idea is…
the daleks have allied themselves with the ressurected kovarian and her army, the daleks invade earth to destroy the doctor’s companions, jenna louise coleman, jo grant, susan, martha, amy, rory.
meanwhile the doctor is trying to stop the silence, as they are provoking him, then he comes face to flesh (kovarian is half dead so she is very flesh and gore) he sees 10 silence wearing each of his costumes from doctor 1 to 10, the daleks and the silence army are winning at this point. the doctor is trying to avoid the question that is all over the universe… DOCTOR WHO.
stewie
April 27th, 2012 - 11:39ami didn’t mean avoid i meant find
stewie
April 27th, 2012 - 11:45amthe opening sees wilf looking through his telescope, he is troubled, he sees some sort of constolation. he runs back home grabs sylvia and runs back up the hill, they both look through the telescope,the constolation is a question, wilf knew what it meant, sylvia knows, then it shows up on every computer, torchwood, unit, rani, clyde, luke, and sky are clearing sarah’s attic when it shows up on mr smith, and the constolation shows the question, the first question, the question that should never be answered…DOCTOR WHO?
Bigger on the Inside
April 27th, 2012 - 8:02pmStewie, that is a GREAT idea, I would LOVE that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bow-ties, r and always will be, cool!
April 28th, 2012 - 1:00amomg! you should be a doctor who writer you know! your amazng, ive loooked at some of your comments, and they are rely cool, this is comming from a MASSIVE who fan, you should seriously do something with your imagination, well, if you havent done already! love a who comment!
stewie
April 28th, 2012 - 8:16amthanks, i am a massive who fan as well, i always try to think about stuff that should happen in doctor who
stewie
April 28th, 2012 - 8:55amI think it should be called “SILENCE FALLS” what do you think?
doctor who
June 6th, 2012 - 3:31pmi think it should be called the first question or trenzalore or doctor who like the movie but it would be cofusing
Joedalek
April 27th, 2012 - 7:04amit would be epic if it was called the eight doctors and have 4 to 11
rosethelastpokemon!
April 27th, 2012 - 2:26ami think it would be totally epic for the 11th doctor to somehow meet the 10th duplicate and bring back rose becaus i dont care who he married rose is always number one in my book….. i also really like the idea of hearing more about the doctor’s past and the time war
stewie
April 28th, 2012 - 8:57amsorry but i don’t think rose should come back, she’s returned once and i think that’s enough.
HOWEVER, she could come back as a ghostly figure, you know like liz shaw and a unit guy in the five doctors.
Jim
April 26th, 2012 - 8:55pmDoes anybody know if FaceTime is free Or is it free
Jim
April 26th, 2012 - 8:55pmSorry that was meant to say is it free or do you have to pay
Anon
April 26th, 2012 - 8:00pmhow about something like an unearthly child, a briliantly writtrn story featuring no monsters. its more of an educational morality story which teaches us to survive in a hostile world. no daleks, no cybermen, no master, no other doctors. just the first story as great as it ever could be.
stewie
April 27th, 2012 - 7:24amno affence but doctor who is not doctor who without any monsters
Dalek Sec
April 27th, 2012 - 9:17amIt can still be brilliant without the monsters (The lodger). But this is the Doctor Who 50th and we at least need a Dalek. Probably you could build up on that on Skaro, where they first met the Daleks, but in this story aren’t fighting the dying Daleks, but are trying to survive.
stewie
April 27th, 2012 - 9:49amthe lodger had avatars in it, they count as monsters
also doctor who has been about aliens and monsters for decades, why stop now?
Dalek Sec
April 28th, 2012 - 7:17amTrue, but it would be unrealistic if the Doctor spent his whole life fighting monsters. Of course we need to see more Daleks, they are more unscary than ever. In order to be scary, they need to exterminate.
stewie
April 28th, 2012 - 8:18ambut that’s what doctor who’s about
Dalek Sec
April 29th, 2012 - 9:40amBut they should do more Episodes like that Van Gogh one. There is a Alien, but it is more about life being harsh but beautiful. Anyway as I was saying WENEEDMOREDALEKS! I Can’t wait till the Series 6 Dalek Ep.
Stewie
July 12th, 2012 - 8:49amyou mean series 7 dalek ep and the van gogh ep still had the monster trying to kill em, this is why we should have multi part stories back.
Jason doctorwhoone
April 26th, 2012 - 7:44pmDon’t get why fan’s keep mentioning having the 9th Doctor make appearance.
Chris wanted nothing to do with Doctor Who after the Parting of the Ways. As far as his concerned, he just helped bring our beloved show back and that was that, plus the Sun newspaper mentioned about a month or so ago claiming he wasint very happy working with some people during his time on the series or something like that.
Instead of Chris, get Paul instead to reprise the 8th Doctor incarnation, atleast he would be interest if not his successor.
stewie
April 27th, 2012 - 7:28amI think christopher played the doctor well. he had loads of the best stories e.g aliens of london, the empty child, dalek, the parting of the ways. i think him leaving was a big mistake
Christopher
April 26th, 2012 - 7:28pmI’d like to see at least all the surviving Doctors, especially including Tom Baker and Paul McGann, working together to stop a powerful enemy and some tying together of all the show’s years. Plus, a goodbye to Ian, who eventually grows old in the far future, and to Susan. The Doctor said he would come back someday.
Oh, and Meglos should pop up sometime.
Plus, could we just get answers about all the unresolved plot threads in Series 5/6 already?
The Doctor
April 26th, 2012 - 6:50pmmaybe we get a glimpse of the time war and certain doctors and masters decide to help. the new daleks and cybermen appear with davros as the emporer
the TARDIS
April 26th, 2012 - 6:39pmWhat’s your favourite idea that you have read here Booboo?
booboo
April 26th, 2012 - 6:52pmthere are so many good ones i couldn’t choose to be honest
Handbot Scott
April 26th, 2012 - 6:33pmI think:
The 11th doctor is in the TARDIS when he receives a distress signal from the time war of time lords crying out for help when suddenly the 9th and 10th doctors turn up and with a combined force of 3 doctors they must embark on a trip to the fields of trenzalore where the question must be asked… Doctor who?
Handbot Scott
April 29th, 2012 - 5:21pmWhat do you think?
bob
May 6th, 2012 - 9:46pmvery good jus think here should be soething wha makes the 3 doctors apear like soething to do wih the tardis
Blackadder The Whovian
April 26th, 2012 - 5:11pmI wonder if the Fields of Trenzalore are a different name for a past place? Another dimension? Another part of The Death Zone?
*smee*
stewie
April 27th, 2012 - 7:30amit would be well good for the death zone to return especialy with the CGI we have now, it could look forbidden and a load of red stormy akies around it
stewie
April 27th, 2012 - 7:36ami meant skies not akies
Dalek Sec
April 27th, 2012 - 9:21amI did imagine it to be a place with grass. I hope “The Five Doctors” ep will inspire the 50th. Raston Warrior Robot Anyone?
stewie
April 27th, 2012 - 9:37amraston robot should return, i watched it fighting cybermen, perhaps it can even take on the daleks, what do you think?
Dalek Sec
April 29th, 2012 - 10:03amI believe it can, I think it could destroy half an Dalek Empire.
Blackadder The Whovian
April 29th, 2012 - 12:49pmRaston Robot has to come back.
Just as it had no quarms about who it killed.
Just as vicious as the Classic Cybermen and Daleks. Now Doctor Who monsters are there for cheap laughs. If the 50th Anniversary is full of cheap cracks of the 11th Doctor, i will ragequit.
The 50th Anniversary needs to be down to earth and gritty. No happy endings.
One Matt Smith ( I like X , X is cool ) so called “jokes” will make me find Paul McGann and arm him with a Rifle. And shoot Matt Smith.
*Blackadder screams in dismay as Matt Smith makes a “joke” and then tears his frontal lobes out*
Blackadder The Whovian
April 29th, 2012 - 12:58pmI really believe that it should come back.
And The Death Zone as it could be a quite easy way to bring back loads of classic enemies for example: Sea Devils and Silurians ( redesigned ) in an Aquatic Area, The Krynoid in a Secluded Jungle , Dalek Civil War in a Gallifrey Parallel City , Ice Warriors in The Polar Caps of Gallifrey.
And who could be behind it?
1) Fenric : Bitter after being banished to The Shadow Dimension, Fenric discovers a portal to The Matrix and recreates The Death Zone, thus bringing The Doctors to his “domain”.
2) The Celestial Toymaker : ?
3) Omega: Survival of the Fittest?
4) The Valeyard : Destruction of The Doctors.
Which Doctors? : 7th , 8th , 10th, 11th( no silly jokes )
¬¬
BlackadderTheWhovian 😀
The Randomiser
April 26th, 2012 - 4:12pmWhat if, the doctor is invited to GALACTIC CENTRAL POINT (the galaxy’s largest space station)and get’s framed for homicide.
the astronaut of death
April 26th, 2012 - 3:41pmwhat if the doctor relises no mattter how much he dose for the universe it is never safe so he decides to give up that is when the doctor desides to turn bad
Ibberman
April 26th, 2012 - 10:27amI hope for the return of old Doctors and companions. Lets not forget the classic series
Jason doctorwhoone
April 26th, 2012 - 8:59amNot related to Doctor Who in anyway, but if anyone is a fan of the BBC’s other great Sci-Fi, Red Dwarf, the Sun Newspaper had uploaded a picture of the cast from one of the upcoming new episodes of Red Dwarf – Series X to be broadcast sometime this September. The Sun claims the new series starts this Saturday, but they are wrong, it’s just repeats on Dave of the old episodes, SMEEEEE HEEEEEE !!!! . . . . To see this picture, head over to the Sun, press TV Biz and scroll down to a picture of Kryten 😀
Jason doctorwhoone
April 26th, 2012 - 10:07amADDITIONAL – The Sun Newspaper have realized their error and now say ” the new series is expected later this year “.
Shame they can’t get their facts right every now and then when it comes to news about Doctor Who.
But as far as I know, Doctor Who – Series 7 and Red Dwarf – Series 8 both begin in September 2012.
FAN-SMEGGING-TASTIC !! 😀
DoctorJoe359
April 26th, 2012 - 4:27amPerhaps some kind of multi-Doctor story; featuring Doctors that have been and may yet be (or were in other dimensions)?
The return of Davros?
A war among the Doctors’ most famous and powerful enemies?
A made for T.V. film – or “mini – series” of feature length episodes?
Anything is possible, I suppose – but I suppose it’ll be spectacular whatever BBC comes up with 😀
Sonny619
April 25th, 2012 - 10:34pmIt would be great if Luke, Clyde, Rani & Sky from SJA be there, and if Jack come back he would bring Gwen, Rex & Rhys from Torchwood to finally meet the doctor and his companion play by Jemma Louise Coleman. Maybe bring back some old aliens from every series even the Daleks. And see some past companions
Jason doctorwhoone
April 26th, 2012 - 8:22amDon’t forget Maria Jackson and her parents from the first two series of the Sarah Jane Adventures.
Zak
April 25th, 2012 - 8:50pmI would love it if the Mondas cybermen would come back…
stewie
April 27th, 2012 - 7:34amyeah, i think they changed the design of the cybermen for years in those days but this design has been on for nearly 7 years, it’s starting to get a bit old
