Due to having a time machine, the Doctor has met all sorts of famous individuals from Earth's past.
What sort of people would you like to see appear in future Doctor Who stories?
Personally, I'd like to see Amelia Earhart.
What about you?

I'd like him to meet Emmeline Pankhurst, or Martin Luther King - take them to the present day and show them it was all worthwhile.
That would surely make for some light-hearted fun for everyone what ever they did with it.
How about Graham Chapman? Frank Herbert? Rosalind Franklin? Has the Doctor ever met any of them?
I like the Martin Luther King idea.
Similarly, I'd love to see the show delve into the Bermuda Triangle, maybe explore the mystery of the lost Flight 19.
Elizabeth I or Henry VIII would also be deserving of their own stories, as would someone like Charlie Chaplin.
Amelia Earhart does seem perfect.
With all the fuss about finding Richard III maybe him?
Emmeline Pankhurst would be delighted to see how women have fared in the Western world. She might not be too keen on seeing how women are treated in the Middle East however. Still a long way to go there.
I agree it would be great to have him meet Martin Luther King so he could tell him that his life and death had not been in vain.
I know - the Doctor could meet Elvis in Memphis and try to save Dr King all at the same time!
What happened to Rory's phone charger and Henry VIII?
And others in historical vignettes we've seen. Sort of join the dots or fill in the blanks.
Other than that, how about going to ancient africa and meeting the first modern humans, perhaps on the brink of extinction. He could tell them they must migrate and spread around the world...
But Marie Antoinette has been done already, not only that but she has been shown from a child to death.....
I like the idea of:
Abraham Lincoln
Albert Eisenstein (in a proper episode other than that short clip)
Steven Hawking (before the wheelchair
or on a different spin on things, historical figures in the future, First Intergalactic Ambassador for Earth and I know its not a certain person, but what If he visited The Time Agency?
You're thinking of Madame Du Pompadour. Marie Antoinette was a completely different historical character altogether, from a slightly later time period.
I guess you mean Einstein, though Sergei Eisenstein would be quite interesting too.
Along the same lines how about:
Sir Isaac Newton (with a squadron of Arcturan stunt apples)
Aristotle
Plato
Euclid (the Doctor could point and laugh!)
Edison
Tesla (he might consider the Doctor pretty tame and not mad at all!)
Emily Bronte/Jane Austen
Aristotle
A really big rock legend - like Jimmy Hendrix or something.
Gandhi
I was going to say Einstein, I didn't realise he'd been in a clip. I just watched it, it seems like a pretty wasted opportunity
Da Vinci in a proper episode would also be cool.
Florence Nightingale
Cleopatra
Mary Seacole
Marie Curie
Dorothy Parker
Ayesha (She who must be obeyed (fictional!))
Do you mean Mr Whitbread?
...or more likely, the other one....?
... from 7th century.
Anyway, I'd like him to see Julius Caesar, perhaps capture the Tardis, then have him build his famous bridge across the Rhine trying to find it again or something? Or go looking for it across the channel in Britain?
Heron of Alexandria. Maybe he could get some of his ideas from them talking together.
Similarly with Archemedes,
The was a Scottish King who died somewhat mysteriously- Alexander the 3rd. He was riding in bad weather during the night, became separated from his entourage, and basically vanished. The next day his body was discovered. It seemed he fell off a cliff and broke his neck. Maybe something else happend ( in the whoniverse at least)?
There are lots of people whose disappearance could feature in DW - Amelia Earhart has been mentioned. The Princes in the Tower, Ambrose Bierce, John Cabot, Glenn Miller, Shergar (not strictly a person) are others. Maybe not Lord Lucan, though.:D
I think that episode was written by children... for a competition they won.
And to properly see him with Henry VIII and given the recent discovery of his bones, Richard III.
Captain James Cook at the North pole and find a reason why he walked outside.
Also what is so funny about Euclid's work?
As for the people I want to see in Doctor Who
Newton
Einstein
Dirac
Turing
Black, Merton & Scholes
Lord Kelvin
Maxwell
Yeah that WOULD be an amazing historical episode:) hehe
I think you mean Captain Scott at the South Pole?
Although something weird and anomalous would be really cool, like if maybe he landed he Tardis and there actually WAS captain cook at the north pole, so we have to figure out how and why they are there.
