They have dug-up most of the better old enemies and they reinvented The Master and seem to enjoy time lord storylines (we have seen Rassilon as well), but conspicuous by their absence are many of the old time lords such as The Rani, The Monk, Drax, Borusa etc.
I wonder if we'll ever see these again? Some were really great characters
I suspect if they want the Master back they will have to address the Timelords as well as we presume he was transported back to Gallifrey with Rassilon and the others at the end of time.
They will be in the 50th if their not I will be very surprised. To be honest they should've stayed in The End Of Time their return was awesome but kinda wasted.

Yeah, it hardly seemed fair to shove them right back into the time lock, but it would also have been unfair to have Gallifrey displacing Earth and Timothy Dalton and a gaggle of other Time Lords stealing the spotlight when Matt Smith arrived! I think it was a good idea to bring them back, but it was the wrong time and badly handled.
If not John Simm, then James Nesbitt for the Master,
Christopher Lee for the Monk,
Philip Glennister for Omega
and Rachael Stirling would make a brilliant Romana
I'd love to see them reappear in the 50th anniversary. I'd also love that to be telling the tale of the Time War at long last, with the likes of the Nightmare Child revealed, and I'd bloody love to see Christopher Eccleston back in there fighting at the fall of Arcadia, with perhaps room for a Tennant reappearance too. Picture all of that in a 90-minute special with a good budget thrown at it to say Happy Birthday from the BBC.

I'd love to see all this as well Chip, but doesn't really celebrate the 50th anniversary, it does well for the last 6 years of 'Nu' Who though. If we had Paul McGann in the time war scenario it might be getting a bit nearer...

I'd welcome him in there too - and I'd lure Tom Baker with cookies even if he did nothing more than recite at the start "Previously on Doctor Who...".
Of course, in all likelihood, there's no chance of getting Eccleston back anyway from what he's said about his Who experiences, which makes me wonder how likely it is we'll see a gathering of various Doctors. Though now I think of it, do we know which incarnation of the Doctor it was that fought in the Time War? Could have been McGann...
It could even have been McCoy. And he was a Doctor who you could believe might do the things the Doctor is supposed to have done then.
He's the Lost Doctor Who to me - I had drifted away from Who at that stage, scared off by the likes of Bonnie Langford and Ken Dodd. One of these days, I'll have to go back and catch up...

If, as the mirror scene in 'Rose' seems to imply, the ninth Doctor had only just recently come into existence, it must have been the eighth. So yes, McGann.
Well, the Monk would need to be recast of course but I'd love to see him again. The Rani, I think, was a fairly limited character and I doubt we'll see her again. As for Drax, he now appears to be working as a Police pathologist in Midsomer...
Not for much longer his character is being dropped. Ooops was that a spoiler ?
Personaly I hope they don't bring the Timelords back, I rather like the idea of the Doctor being the last of his kind.

There's always the DVDs...
That would be fantastic to see - but I'd always be expecting two associates to appear - a Posh one & a Northern Leftie one.

I think it is inevitable.

Oh with Timothy Dalton again as Rassilon.
... they'll find a new way of living.
Haha! I thought that, too...
I think Romana this time out should be a milf, and, of course, slightly posh. Polly Walker?
I would be beyond excited by that!
