Are we talking about the same K9 who appeared in a period of the show often described as 'dark' and 'gothic'?
The period of which Mary Whitehouse constantly complained it was too scary for children? |

K9 didn't appear till after that. The dark and gothic era was hintchcliff era. It got lighter once graham Williams took over. The only time Williams era was overly dark was image of the fendall and that was at the start of his era.

Fendahl always strikes me as a script left over from the Hinchcliffe days - it's so out of step stuck between the dopey Invisible Enemy and the sarcastically comedic Sunmakers. |

Baker's second and third seasons were intentionally dark and have frequently been described as Gothic, but that's it. Graham Williams was specifically told to tone down the violence and the darkness and to ramp up the humour and quirkiness. This he did and this dramatic change in tone pleased Tom Baker who arguably took it rather too far, until JNT took over as producer and stopped most of the humour. But the grimness of late 1975 - early 1977 never returned. And after waging a real camapaign against Who in the mid 1970s, Mary Whitehouse barely mentioned Doctor Who after 1977. |

Back on topic - if a Peladon story is really being planned, as some have suggested, then we've simply got to have Alpha Centauri back!
But who would voice him/her? Another vote from me for Captain Jack - he and Twelve would be fascinating to see together. Seeing as how the modern UNIT seems to be appearing semi regularly, it would be nice to see Benton or Yates again. Just a little cameo would be enough. |

The Williams era has been called lots of things (I like it personally) but Dark and Gothic ain't two of them!

He's a member of the Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity from The Man From UNCLE?? Who knew?

Isn't it obvious?
12 is serious, sarcastic and rude. K9, on the other hand, has a cheery high-pitched voice, shoots lasers (surely against 12's anti-soldier agenda?) and is...well...a tin dog. They'd clash almost immediately. |

It's never too early for a multi-Doctor.

I'm so glad we don't have your version of Doctor Who. Michael M as Alpha C, Miranda Hart as the Doctor, probably David Walliams as the companion, etc. |

Probably a bit past its sell by date now,but I've been hoping for the past few series that Claire Bloom would make another mysterious appearance as the Women In White.
I know it was insinuated that she was the Doctor's mother,but it was never fully explained.And even if she was,.what a storyline! At the time I really thought it was building up to a brilliant arc,but was dropped almost,immediately. And while I'm at it,we never found out who the other shamed Timelord was in the End of Time!

Captain Jack
River Song (these two preferably in the same episode would be great) Davros A new companion, who embraces the life of travel, to travel alongside the doctor and Clara, until Clara is gone completely then this new person becomes officially recognised as the main by way that by the time Clara has gone, this person has already been traveling permanently in the TARDIS for so many episodes that they already feel like the main companion by the time Clara leaves anyway. The reapers (just because the doctor messes with time so much that if we never see them again, it makes the whole idea of them turning up in fathers day less credible) These next few are one's where it is a 99.9% certainty they won't return be in the next series, but since the thread ask's who i'd like to see rather than who I expect I might see then I think it's perfectly ok to include them in my list. 9th doctor 10th doctor 11th doctor Rose Tyler Donna noble (after beginning to travel with 10 but before the brain wipe) |

Personally I'd like to see:
The Paternoster Gang (likely) Rusty (likely) River Song (neither likely nor unlikely) Davros (neither likely nor unlikely) Jack (neither likely nor unlikely) Madame Kovarian (unlikely) Rassilon (unlikely) The Silence (unlikely) The unidentified woman from ''The End of Time'' (Very unlikely) |

Apart from maybe Cpt. Jack and Davros I'm not that fussed.
Although I am hoping Rusty will be the next companion. I think the character David Walliams played in The God Complex would have potential for a return. Self serving, snake in the grass Ferengi kind of thing. |
