Both are the same shape. And yes.

Ah right, cool.

So guys, any villains you want to come back in this series? I think the Master is long overdue for a comeback, The Valeyard should pop up again soon. Maybe the Rani if done right, although I found her dead annoying and cheesy in the classic series. I'd like some more Cybermen and ice Warrior storylines too. I think the Weeping Angels deserve another showing too, maybe wait a series before their comeback though. Either way, I wanna see Capaldi take them on. Oh and of course, it wouldn't feel right without the Daleks at some point.

I'm not a big fan of the Rani either. Valeyard would be cool. Of course I want the Daleks, but not the dayglo ones.

I guess the ones I'd like most are The Celestial Toymaker (possibly revealing the extracanonical angle that he's a missing guardian), the Yeti, and the Meddling Monk.

The real vampires (the E-Space ones, not the fish people) would be cool too, but they'd have to explain how they survived and got in our universe.

As you can tell, I tend to classic DW over NuWho.

If the Master was done well, I'd welcome him. The Master in NuWho was so obnoxious and hammy. I hope that guy never gets anywhere near the character again.

I'd be up for the Valeyard. Seems like the exact right time to bring that character in.

Other than them, I don't know. Seems like most of the villains from the classic series have gotten a chance in the new series.

If Capaldi is really going for a 3rd Doctor vibe, he needs to face the Master.


Also, I wouldn't mind seeing the Vashta Nerada again.

Indeed. One fun angle would be that she poses as a companion for a whole series and in the finale or an episode or two before the doctor finds out she's the Rani. Would be cool to have a traitor in the TARDIS again!
Yeah, would be nice if Michael Jayston himself could return (they could easily think up an excuse for his aging). Yeah, agreed. I call them the toilet daleks, the teletubby daleks, the rainbow daleks or the Geoff Johns daleks. :P

Yeah, he'd be great to come back. A shame that script back in the 80s with Colin Baker didn't come to anything, Would have been nice to see a full story with him. I've seen the surviving episode 4 though and fell in love with it, the only Hartnel episode I've ever really liked that much. Shame the actor died though. Well they've had a Great Intelligence little theme going on lately, should have brought the Yeti back then. They should probably wait a bit now. Hell yeah they should bring back the meddling monk! I suppose that was one of the better Hartnel stories. He could be the sort of comical villain. A bit like Q in Start Trek: TNG.

Not sure about the vampires though. Thought the E Space trilogy was a bit of a let down. I suppose it was the better of the three that they appeared in though.

Yeah, I can tell. I prefer RTD who to classic who, but classic is far superior to Moffat who. My favourite era of classic is the 80s, especially Colin Baker's era. Shame he didn't last longer.

If the Master was done well, I'd welcome him. The Master in NuWho was so obnoxious and hammy. I hope that guy never gets anywhere near the character again.

I disagree, I quite liked Simm. I think it's time they went for a new Master though, Simm's starting to age a bit but not in the good way. My favourite candidate for the next master is Ben Miles. He's perfect, his looks, his expression and he looks dashing with or without a beard.


Glad you agree, probably could have turned up with Smith too but I think he's ripe to appear now.

If Capaldi is really going for a 3rd Doctor vibe, he needs to face the Master.

Indeed. A shame Smith didn't get his chance against the Master though, he'd have been great with him. Smith didn't really get to face many villains in his era, he seems to have faced mainly monsters and robots.

Could work, they seem popular.

I agree E-Space was weak. It's just that the idea that vampires have a sci-fi background like that was cool. And now they could make the giant vampire look cool.

I'd like to see some more about the Fenric And on a side note I should get to meet Sylvester McCoy later this year.

Meh, not quite so taken.

Ha, I think I guessed you'd met Sylvester at some point. So first you meet Davison, the following year you meet C.Baker and now McCoy? I bet next year you'll meet McGann!

Fandom Fest. First weekend in August.

With the way it's going that's probably who is next but I can hope and pray that it's Tom Baker. But I doubt it.

There's an order going on here, I bet you'll meet McGann next year!

Doubt they'd get Eccleston in for the year after though, unless you meet him by accident. Or john Hurt!

Please report back after. I've heard good things about him even from people who aren't fans of his Doctor.

I'll post a picture if I get one. I thought it would be cool to bring a travel size chess set and ask him if we could play a quick game, if he has time. I probably won't but I thought about it. I've posted a picture of me with Davison and Colin Baker in the Gallifrey social group.
