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?

The only thing I remember from the old series is Ace.

No more oood, I find them boring.

No more annoying attachment of the-companion's-family unless they actually become some interesting part of the story (I don't think involvement of the various families has always been bad, but it often seems unnecessary).

More interesting time-travel stories like Blink (and not those that involve "paradox machines" and reset buttons).

Not quite answering your question, but I want to see as a spin off Torchwood: the Victorian era, complete with lots of lesbians.
