Give Pip and Jane Baker a call. I'm sure they'd be delighted to invite you around to their place for tea and cakes.

You want the McClellan Doctor? Why, did someone use your head as stress toy too?

Get Ian Levine to help the Production Team again. The Doctor needs to battle
the Dominators and the Meddling Monk on Peladon, assisted by a new male companion
in white cotton Y-Fronts.

Hire a script editor and give them some proper control. Even with RTD gone there's still the crucial flaw - too much creative control in the hands one one person. What was it the Mighty Trout said about giving a monkey control of its environment?

One thing I'd like to see is the format given a rethink in 2010.

Obviously 45 minute episodes are here to stay (although I'd like to see the length extended to 50 minutes or even 60 minutes regularly), but I'd like to seem them ditch the current mixture of stand alone episodes and multi-parters. Go back to a more traditional style, with the season being made up of 5x two parters and 1x three parter.

A large part of what made Doctor Who unique to me was its format, including the serial-like cliffhangers. The current "America-lite" format of the series has never sat easy with me.

I do not believe that such a change would lose the series viewers. Indeed, with a cliffhanger ending every other episode, I feel it would engender the plebs to stay with the programme even more, as they will want to find out how its resolved. Just like in the old days.

I mentioned Neil Penswick of "The Pit "infamy...apparently he
works as a social worker nowadays, after living in the
Netherlands for several years.
