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?

Lethbridge-Stewart - does that really need an explanation?'

Not especially, no. :)

A retired Brigadier would be immensely fun. But only if Nicholas Courtney has time to reprise the role...

Having spoken breifly with him at Collectomania recently, I think he'd probably be up for it if the script is good. Seems he agrees with a lot of people that most of the recent Dr Who has focused too much on the effects and less on the writting. He also misses the good old fashioned cliff-hanger and 6 episode stories :)
