Here's a list of Doctors that still need stories. (You can still write stories with other Doctors who already have entries. In fact, I'd be glad to have them. The 12th Doctor only has three stories! And Bill doesn't haveany sstories. Not even Bill/ Heather smut!):

>Fourth Doctor

>War Doctor

>Tenth Doctor

Kris Marshall Doctor with Japanese companion

Morbius Doctor
Foreman "Jack Miles" Doctor
Auton Stratagem Doctor

More Thirteenth Doctor stories would be nice as well.

I'll also accept stories with just the companions.

Perhaps a story where Bill and Heather battle an army of Raston Robots?

Or that story that Moffat was originally gonna make for the 50th when it looked like Matt Smith's contract would run out, with just Clara Oswald in the 50th celebration?

Or a story where Gwen Cooper ends up meeting that maid from Unquiet Dead?

Or a story where the Brigadier and the Eleventh Doctor battle the Foamasi?

Or a story with the psychic from Hide, and the Third Doctor, battle an influx of Daemons?

Or a story with the Class cast, by someone who has seen the show?

I couldn’t watch TP when it originally aired because it was so BORING. Every time I tuned in, it was people talking in a room. That’s it. And if I stayed long enough to hear what they were saying, they would be talking about NOTHING. I figured out that I couldn’t follow the plot, (or had to make one up) because there WAS NO PLOT. A man went to a town to investigate a murder. That’s it. Nothing else ever happens. Just people talking in rooms. And all this taking NEVER advanced the murder investigation ONE BIT.

I'm a big Moffat basher but I think that Heaven Sent is actually a story where EVERYTHING clicked on every level

>>85614871
Good thing it's a full episode with lots of other components then.

>>85614919
But the New Series Adventures are aimed at a younger audience than the audios.

>>85614853
It feels random in part because the second half is extremely important. In fact, you don't get the whole picture till the last third...which you still have to decipher.

This essay explains a possible intepretation. Read after seeing the movie: http://birthmoviesdeath.com/2012/03/04/film-crit-hulk-smash-hulk-vs-the-genius-of-mulholland-drive

Sure, you can explain away why the Time Lords kept Daleks, Cybermen and Weeping Angels in their dungeons, but it doesn't take away that they were stupid cameo appearances simply added to the plot for shock value in the name of having an episode with no real villains in it.

Fuck, I wish Tom Baker agreed to do audios back when Gary Russell was in charge. Not just to see what Russell would have done, but to get some 4/Sarah audios.

Hell Bent did have better acting and directing though, no discussion. Garibaldi and Pancakes give the performance of their lives in this.

Reminder that Moffat works much better when dealing with restrained episodes and imposing creative limitations on himself.

>How was that cynical?
RTD decides that the made-up "rules of the biological meta-crisis" should dictate that Donna will die unless her memory is wiped and all of her character growth is reversed. There isn't a particular poetic theme or unity to this. It's not shedding light on some profound truth, it's not offering a logical tragic conclusion to Donna's character arc (quite the opposite), it's not a metaphor for anything. It's not even commenting on the pointless unfairness of life in a particularly interesting fashion. It's just there because it will make the viewers unhappy (and of course create an excuse to show David Tennant looking miserable).

>>85615974
I saw action figures and Funkos of him at a Hot Topic.

>>85615770
Vaguely. Post it.

>>85616005
I can say, perhaps anecdotally, that Capaldi just wasn't popular. and despite all the controversy over a female Doctor, I can guarantee that Whittaker will be more popular.

Alright so multi-doctor stories celebrate decade milestones (Three Doctors was 10 years, Five Doctors was 20, etc... etc...) and other minor milestones (15 years, 25 years) get a nice little story, yeah?

So what can we expect from the 60th? Another big event like Day of the Doctor? Maybe this time some classic Doctors will come in? What's the next big thing after "Gallifrey comes back, we end the Time War"?

Also, first for jumping man

I hope they don't go overboard for the 60th. Certainly no need to keep bringing old Doctors back every single time. Just have a comfy story with an old classic monster or set a story in an old setting for a one off lil treat.

>So what can we expect from the 60th? Another big event like Day of the Doctor?
Probably (if the show is still alive in 2023)

>Maybe this time some classic Doctors will come in? What's the next big thing after "Gallifrey comes back, we end the Time War"?
This depends on Chibnall and the direction he will take the show in.

Big Finish will have an epic 14 Doctor story for the 60th, with the first 4 (and War) recast
Plus some archive footage from 6

You didn't think the TV show would still be on then did you?

>>85616225
Something like Remembrance, which touches on old continuity but introduces new things to the mythos, and has a few fannish nods/references throughout.

>>85616082
Nah m8, look, I know you really want this to be true, but you're forcing this meme way too much.
I was hyped for Hell Bent because it was the finale, I had just seen 10/10 Heaven Sent, Gallifrey was back and Capaldi was in the go and reaching based levels never before seen.

Now, was I mildly annoyed that the story built up to be the return to Gallifrey wasn't the return to Gallifrey? Of course. But everything could be excused if it was a good story.
But it wasn't.
Simple as that.
I don't even care about Rassilon or the Valeyard, I haven't even watched the classic series.

>>85616155
Great, I'm sure my episode where a piano randomly falls out of the sky and knocks the Doctor's brains out of her skull will be revered as a masterpiece.

>>85616151
>What's the next big thing after "Gallifrey comes back, we end the Time War"?

Faction Paradox undoes the saving of Gallifrey for shits and giggles and Mad Larry gets very grumpy and bursts onto the set so they improvise and make him the villain

>>85616199
No it didnt.

>>85616286
It'll probably be still on. Unless Jodie crashes the show so hard that the show only gets 2 million viewers.

>>85616322
Yes they did

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yak3ujqxDw

>>85616334
It will happen, but it won't be Jodie's fault. the show's been losing viewers for years. Short of a full refresh (which won't happen) there's no chance of the show lasting another 5 years.

>>85616225
You know they wouldn't turn down the chance to bring back Tennant so the casuals can squee.

I want to write a shit trips of the Master or the Valeyard lining up all of the incarnations of the Doctor and fucking with them like Negan did to Rick in The Walking Dead.

>>85616400
He'll look pretty old by that point, Ten wouldn't probably come back in anything other than Big Finish

Tentoo would make sense if he looked older though since he ages like a human


also that offer for art is still up

What would "a full refresh (which won't happen)" look like? Do you just mean branding? Changing the format? Or do you mean rebooting continuity somehow, because I doubt that'd help.

>>85616380
>muh viewers
Mate, merchandise and overseas licensing are keeping it alive. That deal with China said that Chibnall has an insured 5 seasons. Besides, viewers are only down a couple million, which can be explained by iPlayer. It's still the most viewed show on Saturdays. These "the show's gonna get cancelled because muh ratings" fags need to quit fearmongering.

>>85616413
Do it.

Well, the 50th could've done that but didn't, so what makes anyone think they'll get them in for the 60th when they'll look even fucking older and their eras are much more than distant memory

What?! The 50th was quicker than typing out The Day of the Doctor so shoot me, you knew what I meant. Plus it was my point - the 50th was the big 5-0. Fifty fucking years. If they didn't bother bringing in old Doctors for that, I can't see them bothering for 55, 60, or whatever the fuck number they get upto.

>>85615826
I think Capaldi is a great Doctor, but there's little doubt that a fair few fangirls of the younger and cuter Tennant/ Smith Doctors stopped watching.

If WhittakerDoctor has a young, handsome male companion, it's possible the fangirls will return. DESU I don't know, am just speculating.

>>85616795
I'd rather see the actors come back in new roles. Imagine Colin as Santa in Last Christmas. No reference to the 6th Doctor cos that'd be stupid fanwank, but just cast Colin as Santa. Would've been fun.

Top Gear's ratings are absolute shit ever since Clarkson got fired, and it's expensive as hell to make thanks to filming all across the world just to do drag races. Yet the BBC hasn't canned it yet.

>>85616377
I never took it like that at all

>>85616380


A new showrunner, female Doctor and a likely writers room is a pretty big refresh. They need to market it really well and it'll get good ratings past the first episode I think, promoting it as "from the creator of Broadchurch" on TV would help a lot, as broadchurch got absolutely massive ratings, but they obviously won't do that.

Marketing has been pretty bad lately, even Ed Russell was wondering on twitter why BBC 1 weren't showing the finale trailer on TV, they finally did, but it took them a few days for some reason

>>85617060
It's not going to refresh anything. It won't bring back anyone who isn't already watching. They won't even comprehend concept of "Writer's room".

Doctor Who is already cemented as a brand that is attractive to ones and toxic to anothers. It may or may not lose audience over those misguided attempts to attract non-existent potential viewers that would totally watch Doctor Who if not for all the white males, but it will gain little to none.

>>85616756
>calling the 50th anniversary story simply 'the 50th' is just retarded.
When talking about someone's 25th birthday, it isn't uncommon to refer to it as "anon's 25th". It is no more retarded than any other piece of shorthand or abbreviation in the history of language, you are being autistic. Shut up.

>>85616627
Depends on which incarnation of the Master is there, I think. I might have Delgado, Ainley, Simm and Gomez choose one each.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, War, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 lined up - Delgado, Ainley, Simm and Gomez (I've only heard Dominion so I'm not including that incarnation because I don't actually like him)

Official Live+7 ratings. The S9 ones were down 1.5 million from s8, exactly the same as the drop in the TV only ratings.

http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2016/04/series-nine-full-live-7-figures.html

The S10 ones aren't out yet, but iPlayer alone can't compensate for the drop.

>>85617181
This but not really.

History is repeating itself:
Tennant was our Tom, he was too iconic for the show's own good.
Smith was Peter, younger but still managed to bring people in, had a big milestone adventure story right in his era.
Capaldi was Colin, "too ugly", too "dickish", too "not muh doctor", there's a story where 2 Doctors meet, but there's not enough good stories (even if THE GOAT is here)
It all leads to Jodie being our Sylvester, one shit season, the rest is the greatest shit we've ever seen in our lives. Show is cancelled just when it's starting to get really good.

>>85617324
6.7 million is still a lot of viewers, anon. Hardly cancellation-worthy. And like a previous anon said, Top Gear's ratings have fallen ever since Clarkson got kicked out, to merely around 3 million viewers. Yet the BBC hasn't cancelled that show despite being far more expensive to make than Doctor Who.

Erm, maybe others are, but not this anon. I enjoyed the episode Hell Bent and wasn't bored for at all when watching it.

Yeah it wasn't as good as Heaven Sent, but HS is rated one of the fandom's all time favorite episodes in numerous polls. Any episode following that would've been not as good.

Are there any Doctor Who books that you wish got more love like Alien Bodies or Timewyrm Revelation do?

Was this /who/'s lowest moment?

Hell Bent was a completely disjointed plot, undoing of yet another character's death and aborting plot that was tormenting Doctor for seasons without any kind of pay-off.

It's like at least every year Moffat is being replaced by a clone who only has vague impression of what is going on.

I had a story idea of aliens dealing drugs that replace your mind with aliens, but it morphed into alien spaceship exploding into Earth's atmosphere and polluting water to the same effect.

>>85619610
In The Doctor's Wife, Idris, while possessed by the Tardis, talked about how she chose the Doctor when he stole her and started off on his adventure.

In The Name of the Doctor, it's shown that Clara was on Gallifrey because why not, and told The First Doctor which Tardis to take.

>>85619756

>Doctor said that he chose her
IDRIS: Do you ever wonder why I chose you all those years ago?
DOCTOR: I chose you. You were unlocked.
IDRIS: Of course I was. I wanted to see the universe, so I stole a Time Lord and I ran away. And you were the only one mad enough.

If any part of this is retconned by Clara, it's not the actually important bit - i.e. the bit where we learn that the TARDIS actually made the conscious decision to let the Doctor fly away with it by leaving itself unlocked, revealing that he didn't have as much control as he thought he had.
That is all fully intact.

All that's different is the Doctor is marginally wronger than he already was.

Neither of you seem to have realized that in the Doctor's original timeline, the First Doctor chose the TARDIS himself. When the GI interfered, he knocked the First Doctor off-course. The Clara splinter went to that moment, and made time right again.

Nah, I was a guy behind the scenes. But I did acted in one of these, but we never finished it. Also knew Rupert, great bloke.

W e w. You guys are the ones who made the fanfilms that everyone likes. Were you there for the Amaryllis companion fanfilms as well?

> Physically, he resembled an older version of Lobus Caecilius, (TV: The Fires of Pompeii) with the Doctor himself noting he that had "seen [his] face somewhere before". (TV: Deep Breath) When he realised that he had seen his face when his tenth incarnation saved Caecilius's family from the destruction of Pompeii on Donna Noble's insistence, the Doctor concluded he subconsciously chose Caecilius' face to "hold [himself] to the mark" and remind him that he "save[d] people." (TV: The Girl Who Died)

Capaldi should've remained blind.

Like, fuck. They went through the effort of retconning that shit in order to reaffirm how the Doctor is supposed to be "good"—a proverbial sacrificial lamb and beacon of justice to the universe.

How poetic (read: consistent) would it have been for Capaldi to literally sacrifice his body over the course of his regeneration. His sight, maybe a heart, or damage to a brain stem. A series of injuries that leaves him progressively handicapped until there's no choice but to regenerate.

What's your point?

>>85622907
he was ready to die by then (monks ep 2)
everything that happened later made him a worse person

>A total event collapse could also change some species' histories. A Cyber-Leader noted that "all universes will be deleted", which indicated that total event collapse would also affect parallel worlds, by erasing them along with the universe in which the explosion occurred. (TV: The Pandorica Opens)

So Rose doesn't exist anymore.

YES!

>>85622748
Yes. I was actingin one that featured Sontarans in the countryside, but we didn't finished it.

'Worse person' — you mean like sacrificing himself in the ass-end of a time-dilated spaceship while killing a few Cybermen so a handful of humans could live a bit longer?

I'm still not sure your point addresses mine.

>>85622955
That's awesome. We should add a Boothe Doctor story into Shit Trips in your honor. Wasn't there a Shakespeare/ Lovercraft story as well? Any funny stories from your experiences in making those fanfilms?

I'm scared for my data limits, but when I get a chance, I'll download that.

>Peter Capaldi as George Harrison
>Paul McGann as John Lennon

No, a sequence of magically permanent injuries all suddenly happening to him in the space of one series would have been poetic license in the extreme.

Consistent would be having him fight to the last breath just for the sake of saving people, which is exactly what happened.

>>85622795
Capaldi's sunglasses should've been part of his costume, not as Sonic Sunglasses, but as something he wore all the time.

Could you imagine the terror he'd be able to instill by taking them off for the first time in a while and staring into a monster's eyes with Capaldi's ability to portray pure rage? Fuck.

>>85623059
I sure Rupert would be flattered. And yes, there was a Shakespeare story, which is my favorite one story-wise, but I wasn't happy with the sets. And funny stories hmmm.... when we were filming this story that I just posted, we had this church that would be the Cybermen headquarters when they takeover, and we had to wait when there was no one in the building. So anyway, there this old lady who just would never go away, so we decided to scare her off shouting in our voice modulators, but then she began praying because she thought we were demons. Anyway, it was difficult to make her leave, but we did it.
