Howling:Doctor Who 50th Anniversary

On recent interviews, Moffat has been talking about the Doctor Who 50th anniversary more and more. What do you think he is intending to do? Last anniversary was The Five Doctors. Could Moffat be planning on a multi-doctor story for the 50th anniversary special, and which doctors do you think are most likely to return? 178.78.81.210talk to me 23:08, January 2, 2012 (UTC)

we did have a similar conversation previously but i think it got deleted for being based on opinion too much. just warning you now.

i would like to see all doctors return; original actors for all that are alive and maybe relatives of the ones that are dead. i would also like to see a good amount of old companions return with their doctors. if there are a lot of doctors returning, i think it would be nice if they state where in their timelines they are from, if for no other reason bu tto have some context of what each doctor has already faced. oh, and of course a reasonable explanation for a memory wipe at the end.

Didn't we already have this discussion? Anyway, I'd like to see as many past Doctors, enemies, and companions as possible, but the story really has to be more important than the nostalgia tour. Moffat should probably try to avoid doing what The Five Doctors did, where they basically had a story that wasn't great, but brought back every Doctor (including recastings and time eddies which were unneccessary), and as many companions and enemies as they could.Icecreamdif talk to me 09:13, January 3, 2012 (UTC)

So far as I know the Ninth Doctor is very unlikely to return. Christopher Eccllestone likes moving on to other things and I doubt he'd return to Doctor Who. I don't think the Fifth Doctor (peter davidson) is interested either. David Tennant could probably be persuaded, but spme of themdoctors are either deceased or getting old, so if there is a multidoctor story it would possibly have Sylvester Mccoy, Paul Macgann, David Tennant and Matt Smith. Which is convinient because the title "the four doctors" is still up for grabs. 178.78.81.210talk to me 11:07, January 3, 2012 (UTC)

the doctor's i would most like to see are christopher eccllestone and paul mcgann, mostly because i believe they both deserved more time as the doctor. chris was a fantastic doctor and i think it was a shame he stayed for only one year. and even if he wants to move on to other things, im sure he could be persuaded for an episode or few. paul was a good doctor and could easily been brilliant if given more time and better writing to work with.

i would still like to see all the doctors though. the older actors could wear wigs and have a bit of technobabble explain their change of apearance like in time crash and the deceased actors could have their sons/grandsons/nefews/any other living male relative (by that i mean direct relative. no in-laws) play the part. this would mean the actors would look similar to the originals and it would mean bringing them back wouldn't be as pointless as if another random actor played the part as it would be honouring the family of the original actor. also, a bit more technobable could explain away any other differences in looks between the relatives.

how to get a mega-multi-doctor story to work without having useless people just standing round doing nothing? i think the doctor's can kind of go into groups to figgure out problems from different angles all leading to one main goal. this is where an aniversary season instead of episode would be useful. each episode from a different group of doctor's perspective and the final episode bringing everything together.

A whole season? I don't like the idea of that. What I think would be good is to make it into a serial. Just like classic who. Four 25 minute parts spread over four days I think would be very good. 178.78.81.210talk to me 13:14, January 3, 2012 (UTC)
