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?

    this could be called The Ultimate End and it could start in the final days of Gallifrey and the time lords resurrect Omega and see if Omega can help his race to defeat the Daleks in the time war but when he is resurrected things goes badly wrong and he escapes the time war and left them to die and he steals a TARDIS and hides thought out the universe and whilst doing that he creates an army with Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans and others to bring down the Doctor and it could be the Doctors final battle to destroy Omega so the Doctor gets his army together and stop Omega and save universe from the villians and when its all over the Doctor dies and regenates into the 12th Doctor

    The 50th anniversary should involve all The Doctors and their companions coming together to fight all of the doctor’s foes for one mighty battle to save time and space 🙂

    I think the 50th Anniversary will be The Time War and we will get to see Mcgann regenates into Eccleston and we see Davros and The Emperor Dalek in it also did you know David Yates who flimed Harry Potter Deathly Harrows Part 2 is fliming the big 50 of Doctor Who?

    Neil Gaiman had a great idea which was cutout of “The Doctor’s Wife” story from last season. When they were in the junkyard looking for parts to build an exterior for travel , he wanted “tardis” to turn off all the Chameleon circuits to reveal the true tardises. How great would it be to see an actual tardis without chamouflage. What would it look like? Perhaps a cube, a lighted door into another dimension. I’d like to see that.

    To be honest, I think we are going to discover the Doctor’s name in the 50th Anniversary. I don’t want to find it out, or it will ruin the show and there will be no point to still call the show Doctor Who. And I think we’ll find it out because we heard the question in Series 6. I mean, we can’t never know it when it was heard in Series 6. I just want to here it on the very last episode of Doctor Who.

      the 50th aniverary episode should be feilds of trananor/fall of the eleventh ,or the fall of time,hour of the timelord ,masacre of transanor starring all remaing doctors and actors who,ve played the master just a pity the orignal master rodger delgado met an untimely end to his own life would have been great to have had him in the 50th special ,the story its self would begin at the end of the time war with the 8th doctor regenerating in to the 9th when they notice in the corner of there eye the silence taking a dalek mother ship through the time vortex or is it void where the very first timelord is trapped and plotting deadly revenge against the entire universe

    They should really mark the occasion. As well as the usual series I think it would be great to have a 3 or 4 part mini series with the 8th Doctor set during the time war, leading up to his regeneration to the 9th Doctor.

    how about this:

    the tardis hits a dimension rift taking the doctor who from the doctor who universe to the real world were the doctor meets all the actors who have played him and asks them to help him get back to his dimension and the tardis exterior is ripped from the interior moments after the doctor steps out.

    I reckon most of the classic monsters should return: Daleks, Cybermen, Master, Sontarans, Silurians and maybe even the Autons and especially the weeping angels and the silence. To basically see who would win the battle. But not them joining forces, them all against each other, like in Doomsday and all the doctors return and some of the companions: Sarah Jane Smith (would be a perfect e.g. but sadly she can’t be there (RIP)), Jo Grant, Ace and Susan and River Song and something to do with the time war, like the silence caused it all or something, but not too much that it gets silly. And especially don’t ever find out his name, the programme is DOCTOR WHO? not doctor rassilon song. I think the first three doctors were stolen or something, due to they passed away sadly and the rani could return. But like I said not too much, But I’ll leave it to Moffat as I trust him, just hopefully he brings back all the docs. 🙂

And he fancies some of his past regenerations as his main exhibit. His alien specimens escape onto the surface of an inhabited planet, and the various Doctors must fend for the planet.

      Doctor Who is a question that should NEVER and I mean NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR BE ANSWERED, because if we discover the Doctors true name, then calling Doctor Who ” DOCTOR WHO ” is MEANINGLESS !!, plus the title has no doubt drawn in the shows audience over the years, for example, back in 1999’s Doctor Who Night, one man said that back in 1963, people tuned in to watch An Unearthly Child thinking that Doctor Who was a medical drama, which is understandable, considering Doctor Who don’t sound like the name of a Sci-Fi like Star Wars or Red Dwarf for example.

    • Jason doctorwhoone

      April 29th, 2012 - 8:21am

      If Steven Moffat does ” reveal ” the Doctors true name, then the man will have clearly killed the show DEAD, not forgetting the fact he’d be reducing the Doctor to the level of your average fictional character, when the Doctor really is the greatest character of them ALL !!, he is the adventurer in everyone of us, who goes out adventuring the whole entire Universe while defeating the odd bad guy or two, his far more then just another Time Lord, and he is so much more then me, or any other person, SO MOFFAT, DON’T REVEAL THE DOCTORS TRUE NAME, COS HE IS . . . . THE DOCTOR !!!!!. Wonderful chap . . . . ALL 11 of him 😀

      I’ll be honest… It would be cool if they had a whole scene and all involving his name being the downfall of his enemy. So long as we see the back of the head of the person talking through a window whenever the doctor’s name is said so that we don’t hear it.

    How about all the doctors from 6-11 come together to fight off their enemies with the help of their companions.
    Sixth Doctor and Peri- The Rani
    Seventh Doctor and Ace- Fenric
    Eighth Doctor (before time war)- Cybermen
    Ninth Doctor (after time war but before meeting Rose)- Autons and nestene conciousness
    Tenth Doctor (after ‘planet of the dead’ but before ‘the waters of mars’)- Sontarens
    Eleventh Doctor with Jenna-louise Coleman’s companion – Paradigm Daleks

    Davros survives the cataclysm of the crucible and the master survives the conflict with the time lords, so they team together to bring some of the most powerful enemies out of their times. But theres a problem. They have pulled the incarnations of the Sixth-Tenth Doctors out of the same times as well. When the 11th doctor and Jl’s companion find out this they must team up with the other doctors to save the universe from the wrath of the master, Davros and the daleks with the help of the Rani, Fenric, the cybermen, the Autons and the sontarens.

    This came from one of my comments i made yesterday…

    something has gone wrong in the tardis, it transforms the doors into a portal.
    there’s voices from the otherside, one of them is “I WILL RECIEVE ORDERS! I AM NOT THE LAST DALEK” the ninth doctor then jumps out the portal with rose, unknown of where he is.
    then there’s other voices, including “YOU WILL BECOME IDENTICLE! YOU WILL BECOME LIKE US!”, suddenly the tenth doctor and rose jump in through the portal.
    but somethings wrong, the dalek and the cybermen should of come through. but they’re outside the doors, they walk out, as they do, the voices continue “YOU WILL BE EXTERMINATED!”
    “DELETE” “EXTERMINATE” “DELETE”
    BUT THEN…
    THE 8TH DOCTOR AND GRACE JUMP FROM THE BACK OF THE TARDIS, 4DOCTORS 2 ROSE TYLERS ONE GRACE ONE JENNA LOUISE, ONE HUGE PROBLEM
