do you think (some earth stories in countries other than Uk would be interesting)?

It might be refreshing for dr who to venture out of london (or even uk)? Im getting a bit bored with it.

2shy2007 · 17/04/10 - 20:18

mousy · 17/04/10 - 20:20

serton · 17/04/10 - 20:21

I get what you mean. I loved the Daleks in New York. A lot of it is very London orientated. I agree that somewhere different is required. Maybe somewhere like Japan or even somewhere in Africa.

I'd love to see a story in Chicago or Canada

A gangster episode where the gangsters were fighting aliens would be quality

Tfan26 · 17/04/10 - 20:49

they should go to Asia

somewhere like thailand or Japan

serton · 17/04/10 - 20:51

I'd like an historical episode with NO aliens....

That would be good. Set in Britain or wherever I don't mind

Me too, I liked the proper old style historical ones with no aliens, no monsters, just a cracking story. I mean, not all the time obviously, but I don't see why the odd one without an alien monster would be a bad thing.

The Aztecs, a First Doctor story with no aliens at all, is one of my favourite Doctor Who stories ever.

serton · 17/04/10 - 21:05

Or The Romans... Now that's a cracking story as well...

What I find intriguing is that from the Doctor Who best story thread a lot of people were advocates of the early non alien stories.

I think the only one they did after 2nd Doc was Black Orchid and that was just a quick two parter, ideal length for new who

I haven't seen The Romans, sadly. I must look it out.

I loved Black Orchid, it's like all my favourite things together in one episode.

Maybe in one episode the doctor could actually leave the planet earth. An entire ****ing galaxy, and he troubles himself with such a small, backwater planet.

Yes, have one set in Thailand. Aliens set up shop in Bangkok, but only allow females within their compound. Eventually DW + AP turn up, and both are allowed in. The Doctor discovers that they're here to prepare for an invasion, but that the human Y chromosome is deadly to them, so they're working on a virus that will kill all the men in the world. DW returns with an army of extremely convincing LadyBoys, infiltrates the compound, and the world is saved again.

NightFox_Dancer · 17/04/10 - 21:30

Maybe in one episode following the departure of Amy Pond the Doctor travels around Earth trying to find a new human companion. He travels to Thailand where he accidently befriends a transexual as his new companion thus a comedy of errors ensues.

I think I may have something going here, I should write to Moffat.

EDIT: ^^^^ WHOAH! SNAP! :eek:

My sample plot had an army of transsexuals, you only had one. I think this means that I win.

Thats one of the troubles I have with it. When I was younger the Doctor went to totally alien planets. Now-a-days he never goes further than Harlow.

Yeah but my transexual has firebreath.

[Deleted User] · 17/04/10 - 21:45

Hahaha, similar Thai Ladyboy thoughts a minute apart from each other!

Elanor · 17/04/10 - 21:46

I'd like one with some Ancient Britons or other very "basic" civilisation. Maybe one about Stonehenge or something.

Seriously? You're kidding me! That's twice now that I've done that this series.

[Deleted User] · 17/04/10 - 22:17

Kinda off topic but i'd love to see an episode when Amy and The Doctor are held hostage by normal humans and all the Doctor is a barely functioning sonic screwdriver and a jammy dodger with no aliens involved (saying that it probably wouldn't be Dr Who. And it would also end with The Doctor having a plan it fails and Amy comes to the rescue again

Hey there!
