Either 6 and Mel or 7 and Ace.

Well ideally it would be Doccy 4 and Romana 1 in an exciting story that explains how she REALLY became Princess Astra's clone, but mortality.

Take them to the security kitchen!

I'd say Three and Jo, but yeah, mortality.

Nobody exists on purpose. Nobody belongs anywhere. Everybody dies.

I would like to see Six appear considering how Colin got *beep* over during his tenure. Even though he's done tons of audio adventures, it'll be good to see him honoured on TV.

In a dream world, it would be the Fourth and Sarah Jane. I might also throw the Brigadier in, just to have him interact with Kate. But I think it would probably be the Seventh and Ace.

6 and Peri. Just to see how long it would take 12 to go full Malcolm Tucker on them.

Am I missing something?
The war Doctor is surely Doc 9 ,he must count, and Capaldi is 13.
Anyway 5 Tegan and Turlough with Capaldi would be sparky I think.

The War Doctor doesn't get counted in the numbering, Capaldi is the 12th Doctor

Well, on one hand: he is/was the War "Doctor"... on the other hand: If he is/was not a/the Doctor during the Time War... which name did he use?
(It#s nothing personal, but I', curious... what was he called during the TW? And wouldn't a achange of name couse some trouble/confusion after ... 900 years? ... during a war?

reply

I think he was just called 'the war doctor' or maybe he wasn't called anything? I think partly it was a real world consideration that Eccleston-Smith were known as the ninth-eleventh so it would be too confusing to renumber them at that stage... alternatively you could name Hurst as 'the 8 1/2 Doctor'

In the first of the Big Finish serials he's usually called "Doctor" and he replies, "Don't call me that!"

I'll find out soon how he's addressed in the Engines of War novel.

Thanks in advance.
This one bothered me, since he was introduced.

Baker (T.) and Romana would be awesome. But unfortunately he's getting a bit old. McCoy and Ace could actually maybe be possible, and I think I would like that.

Or McGann and one of his companions from Big Finish and the books. Fitz is it, the very popular one? I'd like to see more of McGann.

Do you even know what honor is?

Yeah McGann would be my choice, I still wish they'd produced a spin-off season with him as the Doctor instead of doing 'Class'

Bringing back Sophie Aldred would be a real treat. The time she hit a dalek with a baseball bat will always beat Clara "The Impossible Girl" saving the multiple Doctors.

Could that "atomic bat" take care of Clara while she was at it? "Ooops, sorry Miss Oswald!"  

McGann and Charley would be great, on the proviso that Charley is written and played as the younger, less maudlin Charley that we got in her first few seasons.

Take them to the security kitchen!

I would pick 5 and Peri, the contrast of them, if the one above 4 w/ Romana wasn't possible

reply

[–] 78ben 8 years ago

My first choice would be: Doc #7, Sylvester McCoy with Ace/Sophie Aldred.
The reason for this is: He was the first Doctor which I've actually seen (the first, which was broadcasted here in germany).
Peter Davison is a closed second (he was amazing back in "Time Crash"), along with Tegan, or Peri (yeah, Kamelion would be the easiest to do, but I never cared for that companion).

My heart says either Four and Sarah Jane or Seven and Ace, but I think First and Susan alongside Twelve would make for a fascinating story.
