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 completely: monsters created in Blue Peter competitions.

Bring back from "new" series: the Trees of Veen, or whatever they were called, from the second Eccleston episode. I want to know more about them, they already have a little back story.

Bring back from old series: the Vervoids, because they look amusing.

Guidelines: no stupid "body swap" episodes; more chases inside ducting.

Thing is, I'm willing to bet that Moffat could write a good Absorbaloff episode, too...

Mebbe Rose will be Absorbaloffed?

She has the acting talent necessary to carry off such a role.
