After two Xmas stories based on modern day Earth, it would make sense to go back in time for a historical Christmas.

Well DW does lend itself perfectly to the 'ghost of Christmas Past/Present/Future' so there's no reason why a story can't use that as a backdrop

how's that for a Christmas present, the Return of Adric
What a great idea. The Doctor has to make sure Adric dies in the freighter or Human beings are phased out of all of time and space.

Something to do with a disturbance in the space-time vortex of course.

If they run a story line like this I am sure it would have something to do with crack but maybe nothing to do with time.

He lives in the States now but I don't know if he still "acts". Adric I must say did set the standard for boy genius' though.

I would still like to see a Xmass story, but not Xmass Trees attacking, it would be good to see an old enemy of the doctor returning, not Daleks or cybermen.

I would like to see a story involving the Zygons, and taking place up in Scotland, but not at Xmass time, but New Year

I am sure he would. He was such hard work though.

Indeed. Thanks for your jolly banter tonight BG. I will wish you good night and I am sure we talk again. Roll on the 31st.

I'm pretty sure it is. Davies went on record in DW that, of 42 and Utopia, one was set 'at the distant edge of a solar system' and the other on an alien planet (whose name I forget how to spell). From what we know of the two eps, Utopia seems the most likely to be planetset.
