Fifty years of Doctor Who..

[Count_Zirock]

I believe Capaldi and Michelle Gomez are friends, so it's not terribly surprising that she'll be back. Just like David Tennant and Catherine Tate were friends, and it led to Donna Noble becoming a companion. I guess Matt Smith thought better of trying to use his newfound clout to get work for his unemployed actor pals!

It's been ten years since the new version of the show started and I'd just like to name a few things that I've enjoyed since the show's return:

Christopher Eccleston
Billie Piper
Capt.Jack Harkness
Daleks vs. Cybermen
The Ood
Freema Ageyman
The Master's return
The Weeping Angels
The Time War
The War Doctor
Ice Warriors
The Silence
Peter Capaldi
Day Of the Doctor
Zygons
Davros
Karen Gillan
Sarah Jane Smith's return
TORCHWOOD
UNIT with Kate Lethbridge Stewart

I'm hoping to see more appearances by past Doctors in the future, before they start dying off. I'd really like to see Sylvester McCoy square off against Capaldi!

[Nosferatu79]

I'd like 7, 8, and John Hurt to come back to meet 12 if they would like to do that.

By the way, I think 12 is right up there with Doctors 1 through 4!

[Memphremagog]

Capaldi's Doctor is easily the best of the modern Doctors for me so far, he is on par with Troughton, Pertwee and Tom Baker for quirkiness.

[Count_Zirock]

Eccleston is apparently still suffering from whatever sour taste working on "Doctor Who" left in his mouth. Paul McGann would also be a great choice for a guest spot. His appearance in "Night of the Doctor" was far too brief.

The Zygons are returning in a two-part UNIT story in the upcoming series as well as Missy(The Master).

[Count_Zirock]

Missy is in the season premiere, "The Magician's Apprentice." Is that a two-parter? They usually don't do those right out of the gate.

Missy is in the season premiere, "The Magician's Apprentice." Is that a two-parter? They usually don't do those right out of the gate.

That is, indeed, a two-parter, as is the UNIT/Zygons story. The production team has remarked that this season would see the return of two part stories and they seem to be going with it.

[Count_Zirock]

In the past, when "Doctor Who" was only a half-hour, two-part and multi-part stories made sense. At 45 minutes per episode, I think two-parters should be used sparingly. We only get 13 episodes plus a Christmas special, as it is.

[Memphremagog]

The two parters of past seasons were usually for a good story until Moffat took over as producer, then they started getting used for drek that could barely pad one episode.

[WnewCreatureFeatures]

Moffat had said some of the two parters may not be traditional two parters ,

on the some the 2nd episode may take off exactly where the previous one let off making one continuous story

While others may just have a common element that was in the earlier episode

[Count_Zirock]

I just want to see the Doctor having some fun again. It sounds like Capaldi is hitting his stride in series 9, and that his Doctor is starting to be less cynical.

[Memphremagog]

At the very least we'll get to see the return of Missy(The Master), the Zygons, UNIT and visit the city of the Daleks(maybe back on Skaro?)
