Series 6: What Would YOU Like to See?

by Sid Seadevil Thu Dec 09, 2010 2:00 am

With the long awaited and eagerly anticipated series 6 ready to loom large across our televisual horizon, I was wondering what themes/direction you would like to see Steve Moffat and the team address/take for the show in general and the TARDIS inhabitants in particular during the season?

Remember - these are what you would personally like to see.

So c'mon, I'm awaiting to be challenged, confounded, entertained, enthralled and even possibly appalled by your ideas and suggestions.

Blow my socks off!

Hmm. Excellent question there, Mr. Seadevil.

Start with this: we know the Moff is going to give us an explanation as to River Song's back story, and who was the "good man" she killed. I would very much like that exposition to include a story about the Time Agency, and how at odds with the Time Lord they are.

Apparently, Neil Gaiman is writing a story for Series 6 the includes a character not seen since "The War Games." Well, after the let down the Dream Lord was in "Amy's Choice", I'd like a really challenging story that sees the return of the Celestial Toymaker.

And I'd like to see more of the TARDIS interior, too.

Excellent answers, Patrick. Since I know practically zilch about any of these plans these revelations are rather exciting to me.

I'm especially looking forward to the prospect of a Gaiman penned adventure - and if it somehow harks back/ties-in to The War Games, that just the icing on the cake.

Oh and yes, I think it's more than about time we saw a little more of the TARDIS interior myself.

teh tiem wars!!!!elevendy!

I kid.

Well, I'll add another vote for seeing more of the TARDIS interior. The library must've turned up somewhere by now.

The library, the workshop... we definitely need to see it opened up a little

Let's not forget the pool. Perhaps it's stopped shifting around by now.

H...any chance we could perhaps bring this back to a moment...serious level of discussion?*

Oh, if I must.

I'll add in another on my personal wish list: Axons. I'd love to see them return just to see how they'd be re-designed.

And if the Daleks are going to make a return to Doctor Who in Series 6, can we please give them a proper story?

works for me.

And a redesign that doesn't make them look as if they've escaped from a manic makeover by Steve Job's designer Apple design team.

I'm wrapping this in spoiler tags. This is what "reliable sources" have been able to confirm about what's coming up in the first half of Series 6:

Spoiler:

Make of this what you will...

A proper mad genius lab could be fun.

Is this about Peri again?

And to further add to potential speculation, here's a bit I lifted from Keith "Telly" Topping's blog:

Russell Davies has revealed that Steven Moffat would like to feature Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) in Doctor Who at some point in the future. Davies made the comments in an interview with IGN where he also discussed how he and Moffat exchange storyline details on future plots on Doctor Who and its spin-off shows The Sarah Jane Adventures and Torchwood so that nothing clashes between the three shows. 'Steven said he'd love to see Jack in Doctor Who.' noted Rusty. 'If Steven says that, Steven will make it happen, I would think. That's not inside information, but I bet one day it will happen. I'd love to see it. It would be marvellous.' The character of Jack Harkness was originally created by Moffat and first introduced in the two-part Doctor Who story The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances. The character subsequently appeared in five episodes of series one and was subsequently given his own spin-off series, Torchwood. Barrowman returned to Doctor Who for the three-part series three finale and the two-part series four finale. He also had a cameo appearance in David Tennant's final story, The End of Time.

Immense fun.

Did someone mention Peri?

I would be very surprised indeed if such a guest appearance didn't come to pass.

No. You clearly need your ear wax build-up attended to.

by **The Co=Ordinator** Thu Dec 09, 2010 2:33 pm

Just after half past ten.

by Sid Seadevil Thu Dec 09, 2010 2:40 pm

What, already? I thought it was still only July!

by Sid Seadevil Thu Dec 09, 2010 2:47 pm

Ah, yes, well...I suddenly find your counter argument strangely compelling.

So do I, actually.

How about we have BRIAN BLESSED! back as King Ycronos in Series 6, just so we can catch up on how Peri's doing?

I'm all for a guest appearance by BRIAN BLESSED!, especially if he brings Nicola with him. Sounds win-win.
