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?

Ditch all that sentimental crap about "Fings I've seen"
Ditch the sonic screwdriver
More alien worlds.
Better stories that actually have some sort of plot rather than relying on chases and slapstick.
Ditch Tate.
Ditch Tennant.
No more Slitheen.

While you're at it, ditch that stupid TARDIS contraption.

And the "Doctor" character - what sort of name is that, anyway?

No more daleks.

None of this time travel nonsense.

Who do you think you are, Fred Frith?

A Doctor based on Fred Frith would be Very Cool Indeed.
