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?

May 25th, 2012 - 1:26pmTime War II! And the Doctor recruits his past selves to help! (-:
Nancy
May 24th, 2012 - 7:55pmMore Matt Smith. More posters/photos/interviews/tv appearances on talk shows. Just more Matt !! We have so much promised in the past which has not been delivered. I can trust Mr Moffat to write brilliant scripts, and the cast and crew to deliver. The publicity is another story. It is rubbish.
Nancy
May 24th, 2012 - 7:54pmA lot more publicity for Matt Smith. More interviews, tv appearances, more posters, more pictures, more Matt !! Enuff of all the talk talk talk and promises that turn out not be realised.

May 22nd, 2012 - 6:26pmThey can’t really do anything other than the eleven doctors because it’s what the series has always done and is somewhat of a tradition. Athough I don’t think it should be written by Moffat. Instead they should try and get Terrance Dicks to do it as he’d make a good job of it. I think he should already have been asked back to write for the series.
the astronaut of death
May 22nd, 2012 - 7:54pmi think moffat is a brilliant writer and i would love moffat to write the 50th
p.s there is a small rumour more than 1 person will be writing the 50th
TheWhomobile
May 22nd, 2012 - 8:17pmI’m not saying Moffat is a bad writer, I just think it would be nice to see Terrence Dicks back to write for the series. He did such a good job in the classic series and in the Pertwee era, the 50th seems like a good opportunity for him to return.
matt smithy
May 23rd, 2012 - 7:18ami think Terrence Dicks should write alongside moffat as Moffat is good for the new series but Dicks could write for the old doctors in it!

May 25th, 2012 - 12:22amYes, all the Doctors and all the Companions (probably have to be multi-part). I realize not everyone is still with us ;-( , but they can do wonderful things with CGI these days!
doctor who
May 22nd, 2012 - 6:07pmthe final hours and the fall of the eleventh dawns upon the universe as the doctor recruits eleven doctors and the greatest heroes to face the full power of the order of the silence.as an alliance of the universes greatest heroes come together,the doctor knows he must face his ultimate fate.the thing that scares him the most.as an alliance of heroes march to war against the silence to trenzalore,the mad man in a box knows it’s his time.time to tell the truth,the truth he fears the most,the truth in room 11[theory]his true identity,his name,the most dangerous secret in all the universe gathers as armies wage war across trenzalore,gallifrey and earth.but why is his identity so dangerous and just what is the true plan of the leaders of the silence[the silents,memory proof beings]it seems history has caught up with the doctor as the truth of the time lords is coming and the truth of the doctor himself.

doctor who
May 22nd, 2012 - 5:55pmthe trickster scares me especially when doing an evil laugh.i would like the idea but maybe use the silence to trap him to stop the question.
Dave Lister
May 21st, 2012 - 3:08pmI have no oppinion really on what should be done, as long as its awesome and epic. Having the Doctor stop the Daleks kill his first incarnation during the first ever story would be cool. Seeing the 11th (possibly the 11th will still be there at the time) in 1963 with the original TARDIS and Daleks would look cool.
ParadigmDalek
June 14th, 2012 - 5:38amThat is the best idea I’ve heard! Although, it should be the 7th, after “Remembrance of the Daleks”, because William Hartnell is sadly no longer with us…
Chris Keillor
May 21st, 2012 - 11:47amI would love to see Captain Jack return along with David and Christopher. i think they should all crash into eachother in the vortex and then the tardis’ should colide and they have to work together to separate them. it would be nice to see rose again and she can be introduced to the newest doctor but unfortunately sarah jane cant be there, i miss her dearly.
LaserSpanner
May 19th, 2012 - 9:44pmThe Four Doctors (Starring Matt Smith, David Tennant, Christopher Eccleston and Paul McGann). Basically there’s a destabilised time loop in the Time Vortex, causing the Doctors to be drawn together. If they don’t fix it, the Time Vortex will be ripped to shreds. They call on several companions to help and eventually find out that the Trickster is behind it. The Trickster creates illusions of the Doctor’s past, including the end of Gallifrey, losing Rose, etc. The Eleventh Doctor realises he can defeat the Trickster by trapping him in the TARDIS, a place that exists nowhere in time-space and therefore cannot be destroyed. River Song materialises the TARDIS around the Trickster, trapping him, and the combined powers of the eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh Doctors destroyes the Trickster’s device. The Doctors return to their own times and the threat is averted. The Doctor creates a cell in the TARDIS that can safely hold the Trickster for all eternity. But the Doctor knows better than anyone: Not even eternity lasts forver… And Silence will fall.

May 19th, 2012 - 8:48pmI know some people would hate this idea, but I would love to see The Doctor to face The Master who has teamed up with The Daleks and The Doctor realizes they’re mission is to change the past and alter the future. In another cliffhanger of an ending in which he has to decide between his companion, who’s life is being threatened in the current day, and going back in time with The Master and The Daleks through a time rift that is about to be sealed. In the next of a two part story, he chosses the rift and realize that his enemies are out to kill an old man. After some awesome Doctor Who stuff in which he stops the Daleks and The Master just before they can reach the old man, he goes to find the old man in person. He finds him at 76 Totters Lane, which is where William Hartnell lives at in the very first Doctor Who Episode ever, complimenting him on how very young he is. This would wrap all fifty years together. That’s what I would want to see.

May 19th, 2012 - 8:49pmOh, and he could save the companion or not. I don’t really care. Whatever benefits the story most.
booboo the third
May 19th, 2012 - 7:22pmjust thougt of this what if the fall of the 11th was not the fall of the 11th doctor it was the fall of the 11th companion like they did with wilf and he will knock 4 times

May 19th, 2012 - 5:12pmSteven moffat has said that plans for the 50 Th anniversary has begun earlier this week

May 18th, 2012 - 10:11pmThat a new colour of new daleks are made.Green and they could be the warroiors of the daleks and they work with the silence/cybermen
Tyler Tudor
May 18th, 2012 - 10:15pmgood idea!
Dalek Sec
May 19th, 2012 - 12:28pmIf we have all the old Daleks back, then we should have new Daleks.
The Silence
May 18th, 2012 - 5:07pmThere are only 3 things that I would like in the 50th anniversary:
1. The silence finding out about the doctor surviving the death at Lake Silencio and secretly controlling the Daleks or Cybermen in an attempt to kill him again.
2. The return of at least 2 classic doctors, either Paul McGann and Peter Davison, or David Tennant and Sylvester McCoy.
3. The return of the alliance cause they were really cool in A Good Man Goes To War only this time with more of River Song in the team and Captain Jack, if possible.
The Silence
May 18th, 2012 - 5:25pmI should have put “The Alliance because” sorry about that.
The Silence
May 18th, 2012 - 9:10pmAnd should have put in “The Doctor’s Army” not “The Alliance”, sorry about that.
doctor who
May 19th, 2012 - 7:55ammaybe also the silence war on the fields of trenzalore,the fall of the eleventh and the question.i would like to see why the question is dangerous.how it started or ends the silence war and where the leaders of the silence,the tall memory proof greys in suits are from.i think they could be from trenzalore
the astornaut of death
May 15th, 2012 - 12:45pmjust want it to be great
Dalek Sec
May 15th, 2012 - 7:49amWhat would be really cool is if Riversong was shooting at hundred Daleks, while trying to open an airlock (deadlocked), so she shoots at it (opening it), flys into the TARDIS which has just materialized, and the whole Dalek Scout Ship has exploded in decompresion. Meanwhile The Doctor appears in a new haircut and suit, he takes her to Darillium. By the way this is the ending to a episode, not the whole thing.

Top 10 Things To Create An Epic 50th Adventure
May 14th, 2012 - 6:52pm1. Matt Smith at his best
2. The Doctor being pushed to the limit
3. An epic plot
4. Action, explosions!
5. Daleks being Evil (Rememberance of the Daleks style)
6. No Advice from Michael Bay
7. A cameo from Susan and Jenny
8. Return of Tennant, McGann and McCoy hopefully C. Baker and Davison
9. NO TIMELORDS! (We can still have an epic 50th adventure without them)
10. Return of the Alliance
Fox Muldor
May 29th, 2012 - 11:44pmWhould be Written by Davies and Moffat and Directed by MICHEAL BAY, FTW

May 14th, 2012 - 3:59pmI Don’t want to poop on the party, but I would prefer just a classic dalek story, here’s for why:
Daleks are the oldest and most recognised emeny
Daleks are supposedly the scariest classic monster
The silence should be handelled in a series, not in a massive special like this.
As nice as it would be to have the fields of trezenlor( I know that’s spelt wrong) I can’t help felling that it’s only been there for 1 series, and the 50th annerversary should be something that every doctor who fan can get it on, even the ones that have only started watching the show, to the ones that have been hardcore fans since day 1
Daleks always bring a nice mood to Doctor Who, it makes it feel like a classic sci-fi TV show, no complex story lines and time rewritten stuff.
I know that it would be neat to have a EPIC battle with the silence, but I feel that belongs in the series more than a aneversary show.
the TARDIS
May 14th, 2012 - 6:19pmI entirely agree that the Daleks need to be in it, but I would also like something which really boasts the fact that Doctor Who is a 50 year old show. It needs past Doctors and past companions, even in different roles as well as past monsters, Daleks included.
doctor who
May 13th, 2012 - 10:43amhere is another idea
the sentinels of history have been at war with the doctor since the dawn of time.but the doctor has forgotten it as they are the silents.they have been behind all the events in the doctor’s past to get at the doctor.they were behind rassilon’s plan to brainwash the master so the master could be a weapon for the silents.they gave davros the dalek idea and even the time lords that daleks would conquer reality.they created the time war and every monser that came to earth was the silents plan so to destroy the doctor everything was all part of there war against him a war that started at the start of gallifrey with the other because gallifrey was the peaceful home of the sentinels or silents as they became but soon the other arrived and had them destroyed and changed peace into darkness along with rassilon and omega but really it was the other’s idea and then they went to endless war using creatures across realities to destroy him because of what he did.the other gave rassilon and omega the idea to change reality and destroy the sentinels of history who controlled it all.but they predict at one event on trenzalore at the fall of the 11th the doctor will be asked his name by river song and his name will cause the other to come.the arch enemy of the silents who destroyed them and who will face them in a final battle but destroying them will do something to the universe forever.but this story is no sense.will never happen and impossible but just a crazy theory that all his enemies are under the silents control to destroy him because he caused evil and cursed there universe so they want the curse wiped out.this is just never going to happen but could be a good idea
Anonymous
May 14th, 2012 - 3:48pmI woldn’t like it that the silent have only been in 1 series and have controlled everything, it kind of ruins everything else like the daleks and the time lord return, it would be neat, but the silence are a 11th doctor problem, not 10th or 9th.
the master
May 15th, 2012 - 7:27pmit would be good if the silents return then we can find out where they are from and why they feared the doctor
doctor who
May 13th, 2012 - 10:24amthe doctor is given a warning as he knows only to well his days are ending maybe even forever because the events are closing around the doctor.the doctor is caught up on the fields of trenzalore in the silence war against the doctor.the leaders of the silents are time police like time lords but they have it all targeted on one person the doctor because danger follows him everywhere like a curse.the silence have been at war trying to stop and clean up the doctor’s mess across the universe.the silents can see all history at once and where the doctor is but they know his future is dangerous because at trenzalore on it’s fields will be the final battle.the greatest battle ever because today is the fall of the eleventh an event which will see the doctor fall by the powers of the silence who have one last trap in place to destroy him to stop him answering the question.but river works out the only way to stop the doctor going forever is by answering a question which river asks at one moment.because this is the wedding of the doctor and river song and river will ask a question which will destroy the silents belief of the doctor.so the silents must stop it because the question being answered will destroy them as they are the sentinels of history and there job to watch the doctor to put all the bad events he does right.but his identity will change history to the belief of the silents who are like judges of history and when his identity is revealed the silents will no longer exist as his identity is something in his past that will destroy the silents and change history of the universe forever.it’s too complicated and confusing
Col
May 10th, 2012 - 8:36pmFor the 50th, nothing complicated, just a fast paced 90min movie. I think they have to include the other doctors, they could appear as cameos throughout the film as taxi drivers bar tenders etc but in some way helping the current doctor. They need to pay a tribute to Liz sladen. No master no daleks. Cybermen updated in this world remember the cybermen that we see are alternate, what happened to the original ones.I hated the end of the last series all the time overlap stories just keep it simple a good action sci fi adventure also i would for once like to see the doctor kick ass, john pertwee did.
dalek105
May 15th, 2012 - 7:25pmi like this idea
the TARDIS
May 10th, 2012 - 6:55pmI’m currently writing my own idea for an anniversary story because I don’t think that it will ever see the light of TV. Although I do think that I would love to see it.
The Master, The Rani and Omega all detect an energy source emenating from outside time and all set off to find it with their own army of aliens so they can use it themselves. The TARDIS is effected by the power and crash lands in Totters Yard. The Time Lords are restored from the time lock and instead of breaking the laws of time they use the Doctor’s memories of his past selves to make clones to help him, but as the incarnations get older there are worse memories so they look older. All of the Doctors set off on their own courses to get to the source and along the way each one gets stuck in a situation involving returning monsters that they must stop to carry on on their way.
the TARDIS
May 10th, 2012 - 6:58pmThe Doctors, the Master, the Rani and Omega all arrive at the source, but the ending is a bit fuzzy – should they all fight over it and destroy it? What actually is the source?
Can someone please help me come up with a half-decent ending!
Some bloke
May 10th, 2012 - 8:19pmtell me how the timelords are brought out of time lock, then i could help. Also when you have finished the story, are you going to post it here or email it to people who want a copy?
Thanks
the TARDIS
May 10th, 2012 - 9:12pmWell, if time is being pulled apart by the temporal energy, I suppose it could pull a time lock apart. And it’s quite a long story by the way it’s coming along, so I’d probably have to email it to people who wanted it. I’m very proud of it so far though, so I’d like other people to enjoy it too!
crazy guy
May 12th, 2012 - 1:52pmcool i would like a copy when it is finished but how will you send it to me
the TARDIS
May 12th, 2012 - 3:00pmAbsolutely no idea! Mabye I could email a finished copy to Booboo and then Booboo could send it on to other people who wanted it? I don’t know.
booboo
May 12th, 2012 - 3:03pmhow long is it? i could may be put it the user section so everyone can see?
the TARDIS
May 12th, 2012 - 3:06pmIt would probably be about ten or fifteen chapters but they aren’t very long, a couple of pages each. maybe forty to fifty A4 sheets, so fairly long. It could always be put in as separate chapters.
booboo
May 12th, 2012 - 3:09pmbest thing to do is send it when your done and i will see what i can do
the TARDIS
May 12th, 2012 - 3:11pmOkay. It’s coming along quite well, shouldn’t be too long.
the TARDIS
May 10th, 2012 - 6:31pmOkay. This is the full list of EVERYTHING I think we should have:
1. A TV series with Paul McGann where he finds Grace and Chang Lee again and they become the companions.
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 five-part story on 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. 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 ast they are there.
