He should be so lucky.

Introduce a cockney companion who puts on a scottish accent

Less plotlines which involve an evil alien hiding on Earth.

More Sci-fi less 'Monster of the week on Earth'

More multi episode stories, fewer "over in 45 minutes" rushjobs

make david tennant naked every week and make it darker

make multi stories three or four episodes rather than two

Absolutely as it would be a postive throwback to the old cliffhanger days

So dark you can't see him?

Done that. Your majesty, allow me to introduce Rose McTyler!

Give them a bigger budget!! - e.g. more than 1 space rhino head

more money so it has a running time of 55 mins instead of 45.

or even an hour - 45 mins can feel a bit rushed sometimes

Make it less like The Avengers and more like Who

Brilliant! Best laugh all week.

I think Zippy should play The Master.

I assume the 45 minutes is purely to make it viable for foreign markets.
No one, especially the US would want a show that is anything other than 45 mins (1 hour with ads) or 22 (30 mins with ads).

(sorry i couldn't work out how to do the quote properly so it does say Originally Posted by Colin_F like it should)

I never thought of that but Eastenders is shown in foreign markets and it lasts more than 22 mins

Hustle and Spooks seem to be rather popular in the States and their running time is longer than Who or can be cut down to suit a particular time slot as they are.

Bring back the Zygons,Weng Chiang,Robots Of Death etc.

Land on Red Dwarf.

Land on DS9 while Red Dwarf is docked

I see. Instead of the companion and the Doc working out stuff together, with the occasional spark of cheesy wit between them - you want the Doc to work out everything and the assistant just to stand there nodding and asking questions???

They do a bit of both in the new series, depending on the episode/situation.

torchwood meets doctor who. meets sarah jane adventures. meets casualty. oops
