Doctor Who - farewell, RTD...

[mrph]

So, RTD is leaving. Steven Moffat will be the new executive producer...

...and pretty much everyone on LJ seems to think this is a good thing. I'm not disagreeing - but just what do you want to see from Moffat's first season? Time for a quick survey, I think...

• Will he be able to keep the ratings as well as the critical acclaim? I mean, we seem to like his stories - and, by extension, he'll probably take the series in some interesting directions - but will the Saturday evening audience agree?

• What/who should he change or ditch completely?
  

• What/who should be bring back from seasons 1-4 of the new series?

• What/who should he bring back from the old series - and why?

• What general guidelines should he always remember?

Totally agree on Rose point - the constant references and the doctor staring dreamily into space and sighing really gets on my nerves! She wasn't even that great a character in the first place. And the general "assistant and Dr having sexual chemistry" is a no no as well, it just seems wrong somehow.

And agree on the second - giant battles are all well and good, but the Moffat scary angels episode was fantastic and far more scary!

No miserable suicide Daleks, no mutent pigs, and no more Catherine Tate!

That miserable lonely dalek was cool though.
