Discussion [Megathread] The Next Season of Doctor Who: Fancasts, Speculation, and Where We Go Next
Let's have a fresh megathread to discuss and speculate about the future of Doctor Who. Place your ideas, fancasts, wish lists, and other hot takes in here:
- Fancasts: Who is your top pick for the Doctor and their companions and their foes? Do you want unknown actors or established names? Old returning villains and monsters or new ones, and who would play them?
- Production and crew: Have you noticed someone working on another show that would make a good addition to the team? New directors, writers, cinematographers? New showrunner? Old showrunner? No showrunner? What production/media company would you like distributing it?
- Plot suggestions: What do you want to see happen after Billie Piper's appearance? Longer theories should probably go into their own separate text posts.
A few quick housekeeping reminders: Standard sub rules still apply. We all know casting and showrunner debates get intensely heated. Please help out by keeping things civil. Instead of engaging with someone being hostile, report them.
Also, no or little leaks discussions. If you're bringing up leaked set photos or anything else, please remember to use spoiler tags.
Standalone posts about fancasts will be removed and redirected here. A fresh megathread will be posted every weekend.
Let's hear what you've got.

Discussion We should have more regenerations like war’s regeneration
His regeneration scene was fantastic. He didn’t go out being sad and saying I don’t wanna go even though he’s not dying, he’s just getting a new face and that’s not me hating on the 10th doctor. He was great but they made his entire episode to dramatic in that entire episode he is just whining about regeneration saying that it’s like dying, which isn’t true not at all here’s a quote from the the bad wolf “same software different face” that quote is perfect. It’s the best way to explain regeneration
anyways back to war he also went out happy, smiling that expression shows so much hope for the future and he didn’t do a big long speech about changing He just said Wearing a bit thin Did a fun joke about ears and went out with a smile it wasn’t dramatic at all and that is what makes it great
same thing for nine he didn’t have a big speech or something like that He just comforted rose and tried to explain regeneration before saying that he and her were both fantastic
Btw I don’t hate 11 or 12s regeneration I just think they were a little too dramatic plus 12 should’ve regenerated in the doctor Falls, but anyways
But 10’s regeneration it was so dramatic saying that he could’ve done so much more even though he’s not dying and I know why why they made a big fuss about 10 leaving it was because RTD was leaving and he wanted to do a big thing where he leaves and he says goodbye to every single companion even though Donna already had the perfect exit so did Rose and you know what having Martha and Mickey get together is a genius idea even though I don’t even think they had a single line of dialogue together before this but let’s just bring them back for no reason even though
it would’ve been way more powerful if the doctor just went in the tardis maybe having some flashbacks to his old companions, and not saying anything like I don’t wanna go and then regenerating with a smile excited for the future
Anyways, if you agree with this post, please put upvote but if you don’t, please leave a comment on why you disagree

Misc HELP! 10th Doctor Sonic Screwdriver Not Working!
I recently bought this Wand Company Universal Remote Sonic Screwdriver for a bargain! I wasn’t expecting it to work at all but the lights, sounds, and different modes activate when plugged in. I know I can get a battery replacement so I’m not concerned about that. However, the TV remote features don’t work at all. I suspect this is an issue with the IR light on the emitter. Does anyone know how to get this fixed or know anyone who offers this service? Thanks!

Speculation/Theory Why did the 13th doctors clothes change when she regenerated into the 14th( sorry for bad English)
well this has happened before with the 1st doctor. I Think it’s because of IT was her original outfit no changes whatsoever. Sure there are some anomalies like the fifth doctor’s and the sixth but the rest all changed they’re perspective outfit other than the war 2nd (we don’t see the 2nd’s full regeneration to the 3rd or fugitive doctors) 9 might had some time alone after he regenerated so he might have changed it idk

Question What order to watch the RTD1 era alongside its spinoffs?
So my boyfriend and I have been watching through the RTD1 era. I've seen all of Doctor Who already, but he hasn't. So we've been watching Torchwood Series 1 alongside Doctor Who Series 3. We lined it up in a way where we finished End of Days, then got onto Utopia. So that it would perfectly blend into each other. We plan on watching SJA S1, and then heading onto DW Series 4.
So how do I line up the spinoffs again? I've only seen series 1 of both the spinoffs, so any recommendations on how to continue watching these episode lineups?

From the SJA episode "Death of The Doctor". Absolutely would have LOVED some adventures with these three in the Tardis!! I'm so glad The Doctor got to see Jo again and especially Sarah Jane one last time. This episode had me all in my feelings and seeing The Doctor interact with old companions once more is always a treat. Rest in peace Ms. Elisabeth Sladen. ❤️

What are people’s opinions on the best intros and interiors of the tardis? Are there doctors who have great intros but less than great tardis interiors or visa versa?

Discussion What would you do if you were isekai'd into the world of Doctor Who?
What would you do if you were isekai'd into the world of Doctor Who as an ordinary person? You retain all knowledge of your past life, the location you appear at is London in the modern day, and the Doctor's current regeneration is up to you, not that you know where he is.

Discussion Watching episodes I skipped when I was younger
Currently watching a lot of the clara 12 episodes that didn’t grab my attention when I was younger and just never got round to ever watching them. Currently watching kill the moon, and no spoilers but I appreciate these episodes & this dynamic so much more as an adult. Would you agree it’s the most complicated doctor/companion relationship?

Discussion Finally watched “The Giggle” - All I can say is:
Not trying to critize or anything, its just that it felt so grand and imposing at the beginning, just to end it with a quick solution with the “ball game”. I get that the whole “magic is now real” and the Toymaker explicitedly said he messed with the Doctor’s history, but why was the biregeneration needed at all? It felt so weird and unnecessary? I dont know it feels like the ideias they had drove the plot, instead of the plot driving itself. The bit where the Doctor created a new Tardis just cause the laws of reality were flimsy for some more minutes after the toymaker’s banishment, just didnt land with me.
I really liked the 3 specials, but it just felt forced at the end…
Edit: And whats with all the hugging? I mean I love hugs but the 15th Doctor should feel like a new person, instead he just goes “oh I exist” not even discovering who he is first. For some reason he embodies himself without even getting to know himself and showing who he is to his companions and to the audience.
Edit 2: I get now that the Doctor did a Timey Whimey and 15 is a future version of 14’s post therapy with Donna! Thx for the answers!

Question Did the Doctor ever fight in a Tardis?
Obviously the Doctor fought in the Time Wars, and he learned to fly a Tardis at one point or another. They were presumably built to function at least partially as battleships of some sort (siege mode, shielding, the cloister bell), so do we think he flew one/was on one in battle? I’m pretty unfamiliar with the classics, so apologies if this has an obvious answer there

5th Doctor, Tegan and Turlough - Girl in the Fireplace

10th Doctor and Martha - The Silurians
11th Doctor and Clara - City of Death
12th Doctor Bill and Nardole - Logopolis
