8.1 The Offer
By Mr Ron
Unsure how on earth he fits into established Canon anymore the Eleventh Doctor has buggered off to launch a film career leaving the TARDIS team in disarray. Except for Clara, who’s not bothered frankly as she has a” pay or play” contract for Series 8 regardless. The “Tenth” Doctor (David Tennant) and that frankly shabby looking Doctorish-type bloke from the 50th – The Faff Doctor (John Hurt) are left looking at each other rather sheepishly. Out of boredom they tinker with the knobs on the TARDIS console, Hurt says something meaningful and profound that shows "the truth" of his character... and Tennant does some acting with his Spectacles. Suddenly, their hands begin to glow..
Each of them receive a mysterious brown envelope from The Time Lords containing cash. They agree to muddle through on a job share arrangement until the 12th Doctor can be located in the time-stream.
No sooner do they do so though than every old faker with an equity card starts queuing up at the TARDIS doors looking for the chance to secure three years steady work with merchandising revenue on top… Where the hordes of Genghis Khan failed, an army of out of work, soaked up Luvvies succeed. Soon the TARDIS is teeming to the rafters with actors you can just about recognise, but don’t identify with any previous role too strongly.
The foretold “Time of Auditions” nears, and the Cloister Bell tolls as a nice little nod to the online community. Can the Faff Doctor and Ten prevent a return to the continuity obsessed, incomprehensibly written, budget compromised, and viewer bereft 1980s – and will they escape with their reputations intact?
By Ron, Galton & Simpson with acknowledgements to Ben Aaronovitch
Following the Destruction of Cardiff in the previous episode, the Tenth Doctor and the Faff Doctor have been forced to share the sole remaining TARDIS set - in Merton. Things are not going well and tempers are getting frayed as the Old Doctor and “distinguished stand in for an old Doctor who couldn’t make it” clash - for comedy and fan pleasing value.
The TARDIS set needs a pit stop to refuel, and with Cardiff kaput, the Tenth Doctor and the Faff Doctor set co-ordinates for Totters Lane.
Can you see what I did there? – lots of fans who will be saying: “of course!, that’s why he kept going back!!! ”
THAT’S how good I am :cool:
72 Totters Lane, 1959, on a Sunday. No Cinema, No TV, No Pub.
The Faff Doctor and the Tenth Doctor are stuck inside the TARDIS on a wet Sunday Afternoon in complete boredom.
But then the neighbourhood Daleks pop round…

... But not so good that he didn't mistype the address...
It's ok - I'll make this a two parter just so that I can work the continuity issues into the storyline and bolt on the series arc I'd forgotten to hint at. This ain't no "filler" episode
I've been working on my imaginary Series 8 recently - I have all the titles and know the basic plot of each story - but I'm rather ashamed to put it on here.
Well, I've given into temptation. Here's my Series 8!
Episode 1: First Contact
The Doctor and Clara arrive on the planet of Kefrata, populated by the Kefra and their paranoid, tyrannical leader, Berg. The Kefra, who have never encountered other species, have launched their first interstellar craft, powered by teleport technology. The Doctor and Clara sneak aboard and the ship arrives at Earth, where the Doctor and Clara must prevent an unnecessary war, and find themselves at odds with each other over which side to support...
Episode 2: One Day To Dawn
The Doctor and Clara visit Metebelis 6, impacted by devastating solar flares every ten years. The survivors of the previous flares decide to offer the Doctor as a sacrifice to the sun, leaving Clara with just one day to not only save the Doctor from certain death, but find a way to save the planet's inhabitants from the solar flares once and for all... but are the flares really what they seem? (Imagine a combination of The Wicker Man and The Rings of Akhaten!)
Episode 3: Judge and Jury
The Doctor is summoned by River Song to Stormcage Prison, where every prisoner, even the terrifying dictators held within, has suddenly started desperately pleading their innocence. With the help of River, Clara, Stormcage's wardens, and two escaped prisoners, the Doctor uncovers the secrets of the prison, and its true master... and finds himself deciding whether redeemed men should walk free.
Episode 4: The Eye of the Storm (1/2)
Clara returns home to London in 2014, and The Doctor discovers that global warming is accelerating across the globe. A series of tornadoes wreck havoc in synchronisation, and with Clara separated from the Doctor in the chaos, she is left to protect a young family. The Doctor, meanwhile, uncovers a secret operation controlling weather systems across the globe, but falls prisoner to mysterious slaves. As the weather worsens, Clara spots an alien patrolling the skies, and manages to contact the Doctor. But The Doctor is horrified to realise the masterminds behind this plot are none other than the Daleks...
Episode 5: Ark of the Daleks (2/2)
The Doctor is confronted by the Daleks, but he escapes in time to save Clara and temporarily halt the tornadoes. The Daleks reveal to the Doctor that they are using an exaggerated form of wind power to initiate the production of a new Dalek race. The Doctor and Clara manage to contact UNIT, who help the Doctor penetrate the Dalek base, but not before the final stage of their plan begins... to use the weather to drown planet Earth, leaving New Skaro in its wake...
Episode 6: Trail of the Dead
In the aftermath of his battle with the Daleks, the Doctor takes the TARDIS to the beaches of Crestica for a welcome break. There is only one problem: where is everyone? Discovering pairs of footprints moving towards the edge of the beach with no bodies to take them, the Doctor must confront the ghosts of the dead - or are these invisible enemies something even more sinsister?
Episode 7: The Impossible Girl
Clara Oswald has learnt much about the universe during her travels, but what has she learnt about herself? After a parasite removes the Doctor and Clara's memories of each other, Clara must retrace her steps and discover just how her life led her to follow a strange man in a blue box... but how will Clara change her past, and are her memories gone forever? And how will she defeat the parasite that seeks to end her travels too soon? (Doctor-lite, a cross between Turn Left and Amy's Choice!)
Episode 8: No Man's Land
In California, in the year 1,000,000, something is haunting the perennial celebrity paradise of planet Earth. An ancient terror haunts the Mojave Desert, and anyone who sets foot there is never seen again. With a multitude of alien races now living happily on Earth, suspicion is rife. But when a celebrity's disappearance is captured on air, the Doctor must discover why the Mojave Monster has a grudge on the rich and famous, and why it is particularly interested in Clara...
Episode 9: The Monster in the Cottage (1/2)
Deep in the Scottish highlands, a quiet member of the community suddenly holds his town to ransom, with a string of dead locals to his name - or rather, to his monster's name. None that challenge Patrick Morton survive... except the Doctor. After breaking into Morton's cottage, the Doctor and Clara face an unexpected enemy - a Weeping Angel. With Morton suddenly in trouble with his master, the Angels begin their master plan, and kidnap the Doctor. Clara is left to defend Britain, and the Doctor finds himself on Deltis - the planet of the Angels.
Episode 10: Downfall on Deltis (2/2)
The Doctor must make an impossible journey through a three-mile maze of thousands of Weeping Angels to reach his kidnapped TARDIS. But what do the Angels have planned for the Doctor and the TARDIS? Meanwhile in present-day Scotland, the Angels arrive, the world is at stake, and only the Doctor and Clara have the power to banish the Angels forever. But when it matters most, the Doctor will fail.
Episode 11: Run
Overcome with grief after losing another companion to the Weeping Angels, the Doctor's only hope of continuing his travels is to find the lost TARDIS. With help from River, the Doctor traces it to Corbitus, where the TARDIS is the grand prize of the most dangerous race in the galaxy. The Doctor and River compete to win the TARDIS, facing a huge array of challenges along the way, but who is toying with the Doctor and forcing him to fight for what he loves? And who is the mysterious presence that waits in the shadows, about to make his final strike?
Episode 12: The Nightmare Unleashed (1/2)
The Master has returned, and the Doctor and River rush to catch up to him before it is too late. After the Master addresses the whole of time and space, announcing his plan to rule over the entire universe and exactly how he will do so, every ally The Doctor has joins forces to stop the Master. The Doctor catches up to the Master, but the nightmare is only beginning. The Master uses the chameleon arch to swap bodies with The Doctor, and escapes with the TARDIS, leaving The Doctor, trapped as the Master, doomed to face the wrath of everyone he has ever known. But there is still one hope for the universe... there is still Clara Oswald...
Episode 13: Apocalypse (2/2)
With no one left to turn to in the universe, the Doctor calls upon every skill he knows to find a way to The Master. In the Doctor's body, The Master recruits River, Strax, Vastra and Jenny to help him imprison his enemy forever. Meanwhile, he uses the Doctor's friendships to begin destroying every race in the universe that has ever allied itself with him. With a fatal paradox about to erupt, the Doctor confronts the Master and must prove his identity before everything ends. For the Doctor has one last trick up his sleeve - one woman out there can prove who the Doctor is and save the universe...one impossible girl who has survived once more.
Wow, thank you! I was very embarrassed about posting it.
And that's basically every story idea I've had for Doctor Who put together into a story arc, so please no one steal it, I beg you! I might actually write it if I get the time.
Doctor Who: Series 8
Giving in to temptation as well. For the sake of the thread, I'll refer to myself as John Doe (it looks better than 'Abomination' ) and will act as a show runner. Also, for the sake of the thread, I'll presume that Series 8 features The Eleventh Doctor and Clara. The events of the 50th have passed, and the dynamic between the two has changed a little... they're a lot more comfortable around each other with The Doctor almost assuming a fatherly role over Clara. The two of them survived the events of the fiftieth, which marked the final appearance of River Song. The fiftieth tied together all the seperate elements at play since Series 5...Trenzalore, the Silents, the Question, the Great Intelligence and so on. The one remnant of these events that still goes on is the religious order known as The Silence. Who is the orchestrator of this following? What purpose do they serve now that the question has been answered? What threat do they serve to The Doctor, and what secret is still lurking in the dark space? The survivors of the battles that unfolded in the fiftieth are yet to play out their final stands...
8.X TWELVE NIGHTS by John Doe
The Doctor and Clara travel to the Planet Christmas (the fourth biggest themed planet in the Universe) where they discover it is the parents who are being subjected to a mysterious 'Naughty List'.

8.01 THE TIME CHILD by John Doe
The Tardis nearly puts a dent in the Thirties when it collides with Amelia Earhart, and the two go crashing into the future. But as The Doctor takes Amelia on her final adventure through the jungles of the Oceanic Delta, Clara finds herself caught up in an ambush between two species of human who are fighting for ownership of the Earth. Who is the mysterious boy apparently leading the war, why are there Greek symbols scattered across the landscape, and what will be Amelia Earhart's final fate? (Location filming: Australia)
8.02 THE ZYGONS by Tom McRae
The Doctor and Clara visit 1970, and head to a Scottish village of legend, where the residents are all said to have died upon the same day twenty years earlier. Only The Doctor fears a more peculiar situation is unfolding... he fears the village itself has come alive, and an ancient enemy is emerging from the shadows. When he finds the former residents of the village alive and well beneath the houses of this village, he begins to piece together a plot from his old enemies, The Zygons. (Location Filming: Castle Combe, England)
8.03 THE WONDERS OF TIME TRAVEL by Mark Gatiss
In a 25th century urban dystopia, an unearthed and dead Tardis is treated like a sword in the stone with the promise that whoever opens it holds the key to history. But as The Doctor thinks he needs to uncover what led to the Tardis's demise, it seems someone else has opened it and is changing the course of history.
8.04 TRIANGLE by New Writer

8.05 WHATEVER HAPPENED TO FLIGHT 19? by New Writer
(2/2) A seemingly immortal woman woven throughout the history of Bermuda may be the key to everything in the Triangle. But as the infamous Flight 19 comes crashing into the triangle as its latest victim, the Doctor fears that the cause of all of this may be a little bit closer to home. Can he save contemporary America from the onslaught of a Spanish armada and lost world war two craft?
8.06 SUBURBAN PARADISE by Toby Whithouse
The Doctor and Clara go undercover in an alien suburban paradise to investigate a peculiar set of events in a neighbourhood that is just too perfect. And when a spaceship crash lands in the middle of the street, each side of the road seems to offer very different but comical intepretations of events. Can The Doctor uncover the truth, or will the annual Pageant of Home-Cooking be ruined?! (This episode takes inspiration from 'Pushing Daisies', and a whole host of 50's 'American Dream' movies).
8.07 THE MERMAID AND THE CENTAUR by New Writer
In a rural public house, the inn keeper is refusing to let the last five customers leave...and that includes The Doctor and Clara. What misdeeds are unfolding at The Mermaid and the Centaur? What is the mysterious mist rolling up through the cellar, and why are the walls moving?
8.08 THE GATES OF ANTARES by Neil Gaiman

8.13 THE DARK SPACE by John Doe
(2/2) The darkest secret of the Timelords is revealed to The Doctor, as he discovers truths about both The Silents and The Angels... two warped and devolved races of Timelords that live on in conflict against each other. The religion was shaped by the unseen orchestrator, the bearer of the Greek symbols woven throughout Earth history...Omega. The war is the end game he has been planning since the beginning, hoping to destroy all trace of the Timelords so he can rule as the one supreme lord of time. And when a familiar, raspy voice sounds from within the TARDIS, the Doctor learns it is he who has been harbouring the sinister Omega the entire time. The rogue Timelord has torn the heart of the TARDIS open to do battle with this reality one last time, and it may very well cost The Doctor his life. The fate of the Timelords and the universe may very well rest in the hands of a once impossible human girl...

It is time for the Beeb to bring two of its major Flagship Programmes together.
After a late night on the lash, the Doctor awakes in the TARDIS fuzzy headed. It transpires that one too many Barcardi’s have triggered a sudden and unexpected regeneration. But worse than that, the Doctor realises he has regenerated into James May! Pulling on an old pair of jeans and a stripy pink/purple top, the Doctor can’t be arsed saving the Universe anymore. So feet up, and get ready for the next series of Co*k Who!
1. The Socket Set of Jeff
Fed up with saving the Universe, the Doctor decides to take the day off and repair the TARDIS. However, in order to do a proper job, he must first find the fabled lost pieces to the Socket Set of Jeff, scattered throughout time and space, unaware somebody else is trying to find them…
2. The Lesser of Two Kinevels
With the TARDIS newly repaired, the Doctor sets course for Earth in the 1970s to watch Evel Kinevel jump the Grand Canyon in his rocket bike. But there is mischief at work, when the Doctor discovers two Kinevels! It is a race against time for the Doctor to discover the real Evel in order to work out the Evil presence at work.
3. Spank the Monkey
It is 1948, and the Doctor puts the TARDIS in orbit to witness the first astronaut monkey in space. However, through his poor sense of direction, the Doctor unwittingly allows the monkey aboard the TARDIS. It transpires that the monkey (Mr Bongo the Cosmic Monkey) is an alien from the planet Oo-oo-ah-ah, and he has been trying to get home to tell his people that the Earth is ripe for invasion. Only a damn good spanking from the Doctor can stop his evil plan.
4. The Big Oz Whine Adventure
Popping down the shops to get some bananas for Mr Bongo (the Cosmic Monkey), the Doctor bumps into old friends Angie and Artie. They whine, and whine, and whine about wanting another trip in the TARDIS, until the Doctor, close to losing the will to live, relents. He takes them off on an adventure of a lifetime to the mystical planet of Australia, where the time-travelling youngsters find the whole experience underwhelming, dull, and bemoan the lack of wi-fi.
5. The Tortoise and the (Oh) Co*k
Taking some jip from the stroppy teens and Mr Bongo over his “Captain Slow” nickname, the Doctor decides to enter the TARDIS in the relative dimensions rally. But who is the mysterious “Clarkson” with the Type 69 TARDIS with its V8 Eye of Harmony and go-faster stripe.
6. Planet of the Snapes
A trip to the strange planet of Hogwarts where a Magical Army of Dark Arts teachers is being created for some sinister purpose.
7. Beneath the Planet of the Snapes
The Doctor goes deep beneath the surface of the planet, for no reason other than to get away from Angie and Artie.
8. Hammond Eggs
The evil Hamster has arisen, and wants eggs for breakfast.
9. A Stig in Time Saves Nine
The cloister bell sounds which really annoys the Doctor. He modifies it to sound like the bonger on a jet wash before heading off to find out why it sounded. Something is wrong with time; someone has somehow manipulated a past incarnation of the Doctor, so that his 9th self didn’t go round the track in a reasonably priced car as quick as history meant him to. It transpires that the Stig has been replaced with a Slab – not a bad driver, but a bit slow in the corners. It is a race against time to see if the Doctor can grow another Stig in time who is competent enough to teach the 9th Doctor to tackle the tricky Gambon Corner.
10. Big Boys Toys
The Celestial Toymaker returns, and demands the Doctor build him a TARDIS from lego. Has the Doctor got enough time and bricks to built it before the Toymakers evil plan comes to fruition.
11. Triumph of the Daleks
“Not the chuffing cloister bell again!” exclaims the Doctor at the start of this new adventure. Arriving at a Car Auction in Dagenham, the Doctor is too late ns stopping the Daleks securing a final Triumph – a rather nice 1974 Herald with low mileage and 2 Lady owners. It is a race against time to see if the Doctor can wave his sonic screwdriver enough to increase the power of a Dacia Sandero sufficient to over-turn the Daleks Triumph (in a ¼ mile drag race).
12. The Son of Mr Clark
The Masterful identity of the mysterious “Clarkson” is revealed.
13. Oh Co*k!
Can the Doctor stop the Master (Clarkson) in his lust for POWER, that threatens to destroy the Universe. The title would suggest not.
14. Christmas Special: The Doctor, Two Jags & a Volvo
With the help of John Prescott, Artie, Angie and Mr Bongo (the Cosmic Monkey) can the Doctor deliver the Christmas presents using a couple of executive cars and a reasonably sized estate with ample luggage space.
What is the TARDIS if not a glorified garden shed? It's basically a dimensionally transcendental Man Lab in there!
In all seriousness - there really ought to be a Comic Relief Who / Top Gear crossover. It's a cracking sketch waiting to happen surely?
May as the Doctor, Hammond as his companion, Clarkson as the Master and the Stig as a mysterious white garbed stranger.
The Master could set the Doctor a series of challenges - a TARDIS drag race, an against-the-clock trip from Earth to Alpha Centauri with the Master in an Aston Martin spaceship (the best spaceship 'in the worrrldddd'), and the Doctor and his assistant travelling by public trans-mat and and vintage Space Hoppers.

THAT sounds like an amazing series and would love if that was the 8th series
And that's basically every story idea I've had for Doctor Who put together into a story arc, so please no one steal it, I beg you! I might actually write it if I get the time.
Giving in to temptation as well. For the sake of the thread, I'll refer to myself as John Doe (it looks better than 'Abomination'

As I said - James May to be the 12th dr!
Whilst my aborted storyline had a ring of truth to it.:D
What is the TARDIS if not a glorified garden shed? It's basically a dimensionally transcendental Man Lab in there!
In all seriousness
May as the Doctor, Hammond as his companion, Clarkson as the Master and the Stig as a mysterious white garbed stranger.
The Master could set the Doctor a series of challenges - a TARDIS drag race, an against-the-clock trip from Earth to Alpha Centauri with the Master in an Aston Martin spaceship (the best spaceship 'in the worrrldddd'), and the Doctor and his assistant travelling by public trans-mat and and vintage Space Hoppers.
Well, I'd watch it...
