Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Queen banish the Doctor from England in Tooth and Claw? I thought that was why she was freaking out, because she said he could never come back to England.
I really hope we get an episode with the Master, he is too awesome to only be back for 3 episodes.
It would also be kinda nice if there are no Cybermen or Dalek, we've had a lot of them in the past few seasons and I don't want this season to be more of the same.
I think that was a different queen. One is from the middle ages, arond Shakespeare's time, and one is from a time when people had guns... (18/19th century?) I'm not good with years, you should ask Babara...

If I remember right, it was Queen Victoria in "Tooth and Claw". They were shooed off by Queen Elizabeth I in "The Shakespeare Code". Victoria was after Elizabeth's time.


A long, long time afterwards. >_<

I want to see more of the Master, the REAL cybermen (as in, the ones from Mondas), and... Matt Smith in a bowler hat.

Any kind of hat, as long as he's waring one lol.

Yes plz on both counts.

...I like hats.

Bring back John Simm as the Master. That's all I ask.
Oh, and in the meantime, quit it with the terrestrial invasions and have more things like otherworldly joyrides gone wrong (like in Midnight).

Oh, and I suddenly envisioned Matt Smith wearing a vegetable and nearly sporfled because he bears a less-than-vague resemblance to Five. All he's missing is blonde hair and celery.

I think Matt Smith's hair might be distract me from any plot line what so ever. Maybe he does need a hat.

I think that we will have a few more with David than we will have some of Matt. ... But what was the deal with Morrisey as the Doctor instead of Smith? Which one if the new one? I'm so confuzzled!

Officially announced: Matt Smith. Morissey played a human who absorbed some data about the doctor after a nervous breakdown. He then thought himself to be the doctor, as he had lost his own mind.

Main topic: I would really like Jenny back. Especially since she's so tenth-ish that it would be fun to have a reminder of DT when Matt takes over wink . I'm not so sure about the River Song part, as she didn't mention the Doctor's apperance, only his eyes, (Which might as well be the only thing to measure a Time Lord's age by, I don't know) and actually called him "young". If he's around a thousand years old (A lot of speculation on that account) and she only gets to know him when he gets even older, it could be a while.

My prediction for S5 is that we'll eventually end up with more than one full-time companion. And they won't talk like Rose, Martha, or Donna.

My prediction is that it will be GREAT. I don't expect any thing else because I don't want to be disappointed.

I like this idea. They're practically starting over, now.. why not have more than one companion? smile
About time there's someone other than the girl who eventually falls in love with the Doctor? (Donna is the exception, I'd say)...or maybe have an ending where the companion doesn't die/leave/forget. neutral

I'd love a bigger TARDIS crew. Some of my favourite Who stories come to life for me because of the relationships between the different people who all find themselves reacting differently to the same situations.

The complexities of the original four, of Jaime and Zoe, of Ace and Bernice or later of Bernice, Roz and Chris all feel as interesting to me as any of their relationships with the Doctor.

Having multiple companions creates an interesting distance between the Doctor and the audience too, as we've then got two viewpoint characters comparing notes, rather than one viewpoint character loved up on Stockholm syndrome. There's a lovely bit in The Time Meddler where Stephen reflects on having joined the TARDIS crew, and Vicki tells him he hasn't. The Doctor is the crew and they're both passengers.

Don't think it'll happen in Season 5 though. Moffat's unlikely to deviate from a format of mostly one-part stories, and there just isn't room in scripts that tight to sustain multiple companions for long. sad

What if he pulled a Season 1 on us and did something similar like he did with Jack? Jack stayed for a total of.. what was it, five episodes? The originating two of which were Moffat's. That seemed to work out really well without getting too crowded.

Or he could do something similar to how he brought Mickey on board for a little while.. but instead of the second companion being related somehow to the first companion, they should be from possibly a different planet/previous episode? smile

Davison had 2-3 companions in tow for most of his tenure as the Doctor. Considering how Moffat liked Davison, I hope he'll try to emulate that over the Doctor + single female companion format we've had since the Colin Baker era.

Anyway, I think the benefit of having a contemporary companion that the audience can supposedly relate to is overrated. I want another historical companion. Like Jaime.

My suspicion is that he'll do something like that... but not exactly.

We know that Moffat's particularly interested in the way time travel can be used to tell stories in which people meet out of sequence, or with subjectively different lengths of time between meetings.

I could imagine him having recurring characters throughout the season that're experiencing the episodes in a different order. Like someone showing up and joining the Doctor in the first episode, having come directly from the events of the final episode. Or someone rejoining the Doctor in episode ten, with only minutes having past for them since episode three...

The audios are having fun with this sort of thing right now. Charlie, a companion of the Eighth Doctor, falsely belives that she's seen her Doctor die, and (in the bestest twist ever) has ended up travelling with the Sixth.

Six naturally belives it's the first time he's met her, and to keep secret her knowledge of his future she has to pretend that she's new to the being-a-companion game and do the whole wide-eyed "But it's bigger on the inside!" routine, even though she's been travelling in the TARDIS for years.

It's a hoot, and I'd love to see Moffat do something like that across a season.

@Richard: What you've described with the audios sounds fantastic, but to see it (and the reactions) ... xd

@Hairy: And we all know Moffat's certainly good at writing historical stories. razz

The Nyssa Teagan Turlough interactions were good. It made Davisons' Doctor more of a teacher with a small group of students on a feild trip but was really good interplay.
