Doctor Who WI: Moffat in charge from the beginning

Fewer gay/bi characters. This is not necessarily a good or bad thing, but it's certainly true.

Less childish dialogue/monster design.

Maybe, just maybe: Ecclestone sticks around. He didn't like working there and I can't see him and Davies getting on. Perhaps with a more mature man at the top he'd carry on.
 
Moffat has been hit or miss with me- and lately it's miss. There could potentially be more romantic involvement with the companions- which would roundly upset the fans. BTW, Eccleston was brought in in part thanks to RTD.
 
Hmm. Arguably it would be unlikely- Moffat's stock was less high in 2005 than it is now. Yes, he'd done Coupling, but he didn't have Sherlock, or Tintin, or his Who episodes for RTD for that matter, behind him, whereas RTD had just done The Second Coming. Still...

I can't see Moffat's Who amassing quite the same mainstream appeal as RTD's, frankly. RTD pitched things very cleverly so as to appeal to a broad audience. Yes, I personally prefer Moffat's stuff to RTD's, but that's because it's pitched more at people like me, not that it's necessarily any better. Moffat took over an established show; his job description was very different. He would have had to have done something very different in 2005. Still, we'd probably have ended up with a programme regarded as rather more "cult" than it is in OTL today, although still successful.

An ionterestiung question; someone whould have presumably taken over from Moffat by now- who?
 
This probably doesn't have anything to do with anything, but maybe, juuuuuuuuust MAYBE, the cast of Enterprise gets reunited for a crossover appearance on Doctor Who as was planned.:D
