There are 2 things I think need improving in Doctor Who to make it better.
(1) The Daleks and Cybermen are just not scary characters.
(2) Stop the kissing.

You do realise Steven Moffat is taking over the show, right? He'll be doing a lot more than kissing next year!

Is Mr Moffat's wife aware of this?

Yep....he is the one who actually said that he doesn't care if people don't like the Doctor being kissed....and I think his longest and most sexual kiss was with Reinette....who was created, at least in this story
, by Moffat.....
The romance aspect of Who just doesn't work for me. As someone once said:The Doctor falling for Rose would be like a human falling for a chimp.
I agree about The Daleks and Cybermen being given a rest for a while.
No more stories set in contemporary Britain would be welcome in the next series too.

I agree about the cybermen but not about the Daleks.
Kissing doesnt bother me but I think they will stop it (as much) when DT leaves, the ladies love him!

I know a lot of the stuff going on between the Doctor and Rose, Reinette, River, Joan and I guess even Christina is and can be described as a romantic element to the show.....
But personally I don't think that they are planning to get the Doctor settled anytime soon....but playing on that part of him that wants that sort of companionship since he has lost all of his family and friends in the Time War.....so he is so despreate that sometimes he even starts to look at humans in those terms.....but in the end he deos manage to stop himself, or at tell himself that it can never be......

I care not one way or the other about the kissing scenes, but bear in mind the exchange last night:
Christina: "You look like a human"
Doctor: "You look like a Timelord"
Humans look the same (on the outside anyway) as the Timelords, the Doctor clearly has a thing about Earth and as Crazzyaz7 says above, he has lost everyone, so it's natural he should look for some kind of companionship.
He rarely instigates the kiss though, unless it is for genetic transfer!
It's like Princess Bride. You can get to not mind the kissing if the story is good.
But I agree about the contempary UK stuff. I loved the Shakespeare and Pompeii episodes.

Those Spider Daleks which ILM came up with for a potential Who movie or series in the 90's would be good.

Yes, because the Human-Timelord biological metacrisis would totally have been a problem if there already WAS a human/timelord crossbreed...I don't see the Doctor's brain exploding, so he isn't half human

Unless he lied about it being a fatal condition because he didn't want anyone cleverer than him roaming around the universe...
She'd have her own show and everything...

I can live without the kissing, but it's not as if it happens in every episode.
To be honest I would like series 5 to start on a different path, taking the Doctor to new worlds, meeting new alien societies. We haven't seen that yet in the new series. We've met a few aliens, met humans in the future (always dressed in very current fashions :yawn
but we haven't seen the Doctor interact with a society on their home planet like in The Curse of Peladon or The Keeper of Traken.
Even Planet of the Ood was as much about the humans enslaving the Ood, and the planet itself was rather disappointing and not that alien. 'Oh look the Ood Sphere is a warehouse', 'oh look the villain buys his suits at Austin Reed'.
How about an entire series without classic monsters, without council estates and without a 'Laandan' companion? I understand the benefit of having a human companion, that always worked best in the classic series. But why do they think for the audience to relate to the companion they need to be of a particular format?

I agree that they need to move away from London. I don't really see the point of companions always coming from there. Especially as most of the time 'London' is a fake street in Cardiff. Somewhere different would be nice.
