I just this minute finished have an extreme vivid dream about the future of Doctor Who that I would like to share with you now.
Firstly, the announcement came as a complete surprise and came in the form of two clips, shown after a full episode, from completed scenes which had special effects and everything, so somehow they'd slipped this completely under the radar.
Once scene had CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON back, playing a new Doctor. He wore a bright red anorak(!) and his Doctor was closer to his insta persona, i.e. a bit quirky, wholesome and random.
BILLIE PIPER WAS ALSO BACK FULL TIME.
But get this: THERE WAS ANOTHER DOCTOR in the second scene. It wasn't clear whether Ecc was in it like Sylv in the TVM, just at the start, or whether there were two Doctors throughout. I feel like the implication was the latter.
The title of the first episode was announced as NEVER MARRY A DOCTOR.
The scenario of the second scene was that the new Doctor was in a glass elevator with another time lord, played by someone like Adrian Lester. The Doctor? She was played by a British Asian actress. At first I thought Rakhee Thakrar, but overall she was younger, a bit less pretty, and a whole lot gobbier. I don't think it was a "real" actress but think a young Shobna Gulati. Anyway, it turned out this other Time Lord had settled down with a human and raised a family and the Doctor was VERY VERY KEEN to find out how that had all gone, to the extent of bombarding him with questions. However, while all this was going on, all hell was breaking loose outside the elevator, aliens invading, people running screaming, etc, and these two were oblivious to it until the end of the scene when the elevator glass gets smashed.
Two other things. There were little androids about a foot and a half high who I think were little butler type things.
There were EVEN TINIER DALEKS. (I think this scene was supposed to be from a remaining Jodie episode cos it was a full storyline and it ended with a cliffhanger before the other scenes were shown). They were the size of literal pepperpots, but they didn't look like toys as the design was slightly different; they had a more rounded base and no knobs on the skirt. They also didn't shout exterminate although one said "we obey no one" in a very deep gravelly voice. It was established that even these tiny things had enough firepower to kill a human. (I like these and might put em in a fanfic.)
So there we are? Have I hit on a series of miraculous predictions? Will Ecc be bacc? Will he marry the girl, Doctor? Was Adrian Lester a future Doctor? Will Gallybase criticise Shobna for being too gobby by half? Will they say she needs more GRAVITAAAAAS? Are these tiny Daleks unstoppable? Did one of them literally roll off Terry Nation's typewriter?
WHO NOSE? (Taps Tom Baker's nose)
