I wouldn't. I think that over-use would weaken their impact.

-Introduce the Brigadier in Series 1 or 2, and have him on until the actor chooses to leave, or dies (Depending if we have to recast him or not, or have the Brigadier's son take the role).

Do not recast! Do use him as the primary UNIT liaison. I would especially introduce this in the aftermath of all those UNIT types getting killed by the Slitheen.

-Have Sarah Jane appear more frequently following Series 2.

Agree but only where it makes sense to do so.I would not use more than once a season or so.

-Have the Doctor get over Rose much quicker.

Agree.

-Keep Martha the way she was, but have Jack be a companion during her Series. Have her stay on board for another series as well.

I really like both Martha and Jack but I think it is fine to let them leave the TARDIS when they did, but with more guest appearances subsequently.

-No Time War, or a limited one. Maybe instead of the time lock, have most of the Time Lords killed, with only a handful left in some kind of civil war.

Disagree. The Time War really grew on me. Keep it.

-More TARDIS interiors.

Agreed

-More visits to historic events. A World War 2 episode with David Tennant would be cool, visiting ancient empires, or pre-Columbus America.

Agreed but would recycle some alien plotters for these so we don't have ten thousand alien species mucking about in Earth's history.

-Instead of 4 TV movies, make it a full series.

Agreed

-Make the farewell less dramatic for David Tennant.

Disagree. Let Tennant have this.

-None of that Silence crap,

Naw, it's okay, just make it more consistant.

and have a few older companions visit when the 11th Doctor comes (Like Captain Jack and Martha).

Maybe, but I had a sense that after the long goodbye of Tennant's Doctor, he was once more trying to avoid the past.

-Don't let Stephen Moffat take over the show. Let him stay on as a writer, but hand over the show to someone more capable.

It is not enough to say don't have Moffat as producer; you must name someone who will do better.

Ah but that is the point. Because of how he left her it is likely that she did not die in the Time War.

My impression was that, aside from The Master, the entire Timelord species was originally supposed to have died/been effectively cut off from reality, and that would include Susan.

[tallthinkev]

Yes. Peri, Peri, Peri = Yum, yum, yum

But now for the real bit, in no real order.

1 - Faction Paradox, a great idea. Maybe a bit too confusing to those who have not read the 8th Doctor books. A cameo from Fitz? (who to cast?)

2 - A flashback 8th/9th regenertion.

3 - Give Rose two series and kill her off and it being The Docors fault. I didn't mind Rose but I think she went on for too long, and with The Doctor 'always thinking of her' didn't have much meaning. He didn't with Sarah Jane. It can also show the darkside of The Doctor. The Virgin 7th Doctor books are something I wouldn't let an 8 year old read maybe not a 12 year old.

4 - No Mickey, or at least the way Mickey was written, worse companion since Adric.

5 - Not so much PC stuff. Yes I know I could be out of step here and do not mean to upset anyone. There were too many cast as gay, yes I do mean Captian Jack. I love Captian Jack, and John Barrowman is gay but just because you can do it dosen't mean you have to.

6 - Keep the 9th Doctor for longer. Eccleston didn't get along with RTD so with me in charge it wouldn't happen.

7 - More stories by the authors who wrote the new and past Doctor books and at least one by Terrance Dicks!

8 - Yes, more stories from history as mentioned. Too many BEM's?

9 - Benny?

10 - Invovment of Big Finish.

BTW I have just brought The Dying Days. Got the whole lot now. Yes it is sad, and I know it.

I wonder. Perhaps some sort of storyline where Susan has become seperately trapped/hidden and in stasis or similar shortly after her disappearence, and so has basically missed the entirity of the time war. Then you could have a situation where over the course of a series there is some sort of mysterious Time Lord related signal, previously drowned out by the amount of activity before and during the Time War, which the Doctor is trying to trace, follow and work out the meaning of, before finding out at the finale.

Could work, might need a bit of sorting out though.

[kingclumsy]

I know some of these have been mentioned but...

-Keep casting for 9, 10 and 11. If Ecclestone stayed because RTD wasn't there then thats not a bad thing. Might make his outfit a bit less... mundane

-Less Modern-Earth centred episodes!

-Less London/Cardiff centred Episodes!

-No Rose, or at least re-write the character, reduce or remove the romance between here and the Doctor.

-A companion who wasnt from modern Earth. Perhaps alongside one who was.

-I'd not have the Daleks be whiped out by a Deus Ex Machina every time. My favourite Dalek episode is still "Dalek"

-Stop trying to "one up" the end of series finale. The escalation of what was at stake just got silly. Surely good writing would be able to support the story enough.

-Don't bring Moffat in as producer. Not because I don't like him (I really Do!!) I just dont want to lose my job.

Fan-service points

-I'd love to get the rights to the TV Movie for multiple doctor crossover. possibly during 9 and 10's regenerations.
-Deal with other companions/storylines? I dont know
-Have actual Cybermen, the alternate-history origin struck me as a bit convoluted. Plus it left fan-holes when having new-design cybermen in later episodes.

that's it for now. On the other hand the giant plot-holes are probably quite attractive for attention from fans.

How about Miranda Richardson as the Rani?

We find out what was behind Rassilon's imprisonment of the other Time Lords who wanted immortality. The one who got out would be played by Benedict Cumberbatch, his father Timothy Carlton, or Richard Chamberlin.

How about with the Daleks, how about one of the Humanized Daleks from The Evil of the Daleks?

Another idea would be to have the Doctor find out that someone has been impersonating him.

[Wolf Tengu]

Can't think of much...

less Rose, less dwelling on Rose?

I think i'm Ok with Donna, purely because the character actually developed some.

More travelling to a further back past.
