    Series 8 ideas
    1.cyber war- it would try and fix all the continuity problems plaguing the cybermen of late. It would bring to the attention of the casual veiwer the exsitance of our universes cybermen and how, originialy they where at war with their lumic counterparts, this episode would focus on a world caught in the middle if their climatic battle, and would also deal with the doctor trying to put the events in place for their eventual union into the cyberlegions seen in nightmare in silver

    July 28th, 2013 - 3:07pm

    I do like the idea of what they did with the End of time, and had stwo specials, one on christmas and one on new year, I think they should do that this year. Then naybe every year depending on the storylines. Then for the actual series, I think we need to go back to shorter episodes, longer stories, strech them out so they are like movies, just split up, because thats essentially what the classic series was. 🙂

  • DrWho2013

    July 28th, 2013 - 2:05pm

    – New direction
    – New showrunner
    – Ditch Clara quick (!)
    – Slow the pace down of the show i.e take the time to develop stories “properly” (so we can actually UNDERSTAND THEM)
    – Don’t rush the delivery of the dialogue
    – Return UNIT to it’s old roots with a new Brigadier character
    – Stop the Doctor spurting out uber-cool references to try and look “modern”
    – Return the Doctor to a sexless character who doesn’t fall in love and want to kiss everybody in sight!
    – Remove all the overblown silliness and dumbing down of the show.
    – McGann!!!

    If Michael Gough was still alive I’d love a return from the celestial toymaker. Too bad it didn’t happen with the 6th doctor.

  • Kroton

    July 28th, 2013 - 1:52pm

    I want a modern episode with the daleks or cybermen, with them going around a place we can associate with and killing people (I know it sounds harsh, but I think the new cyberman and new daleks need a episode like that to make them scary again) or a episode with something like daleks in the antartic or cybermen in a forest or something, I don’t know why, I just fancy that.

    • Anonymous

      July 28th, 2013 - 2:09pm

      Cybermen in a dark Forrest could be a spectacularly creepy episode in their new forms

    • Kroton

      July 28th, 2013 - 10:10pm

      Yeah that’s what I was thinking, a bit like the angels in the forest in forest of the dead, they can creep up on you, hide behind the trees and other creepy stuff.

    July 28th, 2013 - 1:48pm

    I used to love thinking up episode titles as a child but now I hate it. It’s just I like titles to be in the style of the original show so don’t want to come up with loads that don’t feel like they could be episode names.

    It would be nice to see k.9 return in series 8 just for the one episode like he did with Sarah Jane in series 2 😀

    • CG

      July 28th, 2013 - 2:07pm

      Yes I would like to see that and to sadly round off Sarah Jane 🙁

  • The Professor

    July 28th, 2013 - 1:33pm

    I’d also love an episode where the Ice Warriors have been taken over by the Cybermen, with the Cyber- Planner thingy

    • The Professor

      July 28th, 2013 - 1:38pm

      Well, we all saw the Cyber bug thingy at the end of Nightmare in Silver, so what if the thing drifted through space until it found civilisation, and first race that it finds are the Ice Warriors! They are infected and have thing across there faces, and a new CYBER- EMPEROR is created. So what do you think?

    • Scareglow42

      July 28th, 2013 - 1:50pm

      That would be awsome, but maybe they could ad an aspect of a resistance group of ice warriors who have religous fixation on their own cyber armor, and maybe the doctor has to prevent them from taking a mass sucide ounce the realization hits tht these so called cyber-warriors are more formidable and resilient, and it puts there whole society and honor sustem in doubt.

    • The Greater Intelligence

      July 28th, 2013 - 1:53pm

      Question, when are we actually going to meet nice Ice Warriors again. I know, everybody hated them in ‘The Curse Of Peladon’, but at least a mention. There could be a story in the future where the Ice Warriors are still in the Galactic Federation, but as in ‘The Monster Of Peladon’, we could meet a resistance group. At least a mention so we don’t completely forget that the Ice Warriors are good people at heart (even if that heart is cold-blooded).

    • videogameamd00

      July 28th, 2013 - 1:50pm

      I wouldn’t really want a return of the ice warriors or daleks any time soon. They would just start being overused.

    • Nicholas

      July 28th, 2013 - 1:51pm

      For this series I’d like to see the return of River Song in episodes, 11 & 12 and the Paternoster Gang in episodes 2 and 7. This series would be either the penultimate or final season for Clara, but she leaves the TARDIS allowing her to come back for possible cameos in the future.

    • Nicholas

      July 28th, 2013 - 1:55pm

      I only want a return for the ice warriors because I don’t feel like Cold War did them justice and the Daleks because I miss my good old Dalek finales. I would also like to see the cybermen return soon as a continuation from Nightmare in Silver’s ending.

    • Rassilon1

      July 28th, 2013 - 2:28pm

      We haven’t had a good sontaran story where they are actually bad since 2008, and I hope the Ice Warriors return, but not just for cameos.

  • Romanus Vale

    July 28th, 2013 - 1:32pm

    Not an episode, but what the Doctor needs to be doing if not in the 50th or Christmas special-
    He needs to stop the trenzalore incident
    He needs to meet Captain Jack again (where the hel;l has he gone!)
    He needs too destroy the Daleks again, cos it’s fun to see them all go boom
    He needs to stop running, and face what happened in the time war, which he hasn’t really done so far

    • Romanus Vale

      July 28th, 2013 - 1:33pm

      Oh, and sort mout the spoon heads, they were mentioned, and eplained, but there must be more to them than that!

    • Scareglow42

      July 28th, 2013 - 1:56pm

      STOP KILLING THE DALEKS, its getting very annoying seeing all the continuity errors bringing them back again and again. What the daleks really need to is scary again, ever since their embarrassing outing in “asylum”, where it seemed they where all on the verge of pissing their shells at the sight of the doctor. Daleks shouldn’t act like that, they should be ruthless, angry exterminating machines ready AND willing to attack the doctor no matter their chances of survival.

    • Scareglow42

      July 28th, 2013 - 2:27pm

      The spoon heads where quite possibly the most god awful plot point moffet ever did. All he did was rehash his old formula off taking something mundane and making it scary, in this case wi-fi and regular people. You wanna talk about something he promised us but where still missing from last season, how about yetis. Ounce he brought back the great intelegiance i thought he would finally repair a number of misgivings by bringing back the yetis but all we got was a poorly written great intelegiance story arc and 0, count em, 0 yetis

      a lot of these seem like they’re based on already existing episodes so i doubt it’s very likely

    • CONNORTHEDOCTOR

      2 dalek episodes, 2 snow episodes, 2 war epsiodes and presuming angles dance is weeping angles we’d have 7 monsters returning in one series.

    Brain Storm: Everyday, every single day, millions of people read the newspaper. There is nothing wrong there, it is just a newspaper, what could be wrong with it? But, when a new newspaper called ‘Grey Matters’ hits newsstands, nobody can get enough of it. What is wrong with that, it is just a newspaper, but with this particular one, something happens. When people read it, the past changes, planes crash, boats sink, assassins succeed, things that never happened are being changed. Why, how, and what has the newspaper got to do with it?

      No, but has the infinite capacity to make you guys hate me and call me an emotional terrorist just like him.

      As long as you dont make a story about a couple and a leaf, then im okay with whatever you do

    • The Greater Intelligence

      July 28th, 2013 - 2:48pm

      Well, the beginning has to do with a cyborg and a blown-up café in Paris, so am I good?

    • Scareglow42

      July 28th, 2013 - 6:36pm

      So far, so good

    I think the show should go back to how it was in the 60’s,70’s and 80’s where 1 story e.g. Genesis of the Daleks had six episodes. So say season 8 could have 5 stroys but maybe 30 or so episode in the season. Now that would be cool.

      The love how the classic series functioned but it really wouldn’t work today. However; two parters should definitely come back. Have really missed the cliffhangers.

    • josh smith

      July 28th, 2013 - 8:22pm

      why would the classic series format work? it is much better than now

    • Michael

      July 28th, 2013 - 9:06pm

      The classic series would work as it gives fans more Who.

    • MasterKasterborous

      July 31st, 2013 - 10:47pm

      Okay then; we’ll have the classic series format for the last four seasons. Then we’ll have less Who than we did in this half of Series 7!

      What do you mean?

    • MasterKasterborous

      August 2nd, 2013 - 11:55pm

      The last four seasons of the Classic series had 14 episodes each so that’s around 7 new length episodes. Therefore with only half a series this year we had more episodes length than each of those four classic seasons.

    All we know about series 8 so far is that it will have a new doctor, the producers have been considerating and older doctor this time, Clara is the companion in series 8, Jenny, Vastra, and strax will be returning. And unfortanatly series 8 will be cut up into 2 years like series 7. Most likely 5 episodes in 2014 and the rest in 2015.

    here are my series 8 ideas

    KING DALEK = when the king of England sets out on a task to find and heir to the throne he asks scientist to design and invent robots and present them at the palace and the best robot would be the next king of England but all goes terribly wrong when the winning robot of the kings competition is a dalek

    THE CYBER AGE = when the doctor goes back in time to see the first ever humans all is not right when the first ever humans are not humans they are cyberman!

    please reply and tell me what you think

      Nice names but what about the Master?!

    • MasterKasterborous

      July 28th, 2013 - 1:17pm

      So you want 43 episodes next series. To make them at today’s standard I think we’ll be waiting a while…

    • josh smith

      July 28th, 2013 - 2:59pm

      Casulty never stops yet they manage 200 epiosdes a year

    • MasterKasterborous

      July 28th, 2013 - 6:01pm

      No they don’t; there’s only 52 weeks in a year.

      Casualty is a very different show to Doctor Who though so is hardly comparable. To create the technical quality of the new series you would need more time.

    • josh smith

      July 28th, 2013 - 8:09pm

      id rather have 70th standered that is fun to watch then moffat standered that is barly on and is boring

    • MasterKasterborous

      July 28th, 2013 - 10:01pm

      ‘Moffat standered’ is not the technical side but the writing side of the production, thus my point still stands.

    • josh smith

      July 29th, 2013 - 7:55am

      moffats episode are bad my Mom agrees my friends agree my teachers agree. Dr who is dying

    • MasterKasterborous

      July 29th, 2013 - 9:35am

      That is a completely separate point (as well as being a matter of opinion) and has no relevance to the point I made. I hardly think making more than three times as many episodes is going to help Moffat write better stories.

    • josh smith

      July 29th, 2013 - 9:37am

      More chance of better stories like hide. Also more chance of episodes people like universally like caves of androzarni

    • booboo

      July 29th, 2013 - 9:43am

      there are many, many talented writers around and i dont understand why they cant produce 13 good stories, with a couple of those being outstanding a series. Many of Matts episodes have been highly forgettable unfortunately (and some of DT’s)

      I think they are trying to tell to bigger stories in to shorter time.

    • josh smith

      July 29th, 2013 - 9:46am

      YES BOOBOO. you hit the nail on the head. Waterloo road has amazing actors they are both dramas but i cry at Waterloo road and i can’t wait to watch the next episode. Now why not rub some of that magic onto Doctor who.

    • MasterKasterborous

      July 29th, 2013 - 9:09pm

      Yes I agree; 13 episodes with some great writing would great for me!
