[@killgriffinnow]

10:23 I just had an image of the doctor trying to find a cat, when an alien comes down to earth and tries to kill the doctor so it can take over the planet, but the doctor easily escapes all its convoluted attempts on his life and basically ignores it because he wants to find the cat, so the alien becomes increasingly more desperate and ends up taking himself out and that was the doctor’s plan all along

what if the five Daleks genuinely didn’t like each other? not to the point where they wanted to kill one another, but they would only deal with one another for the glory of the Dalek empire. this would mean that they would rarely team up, meaning we could get to know each individual Dalek in their respective story. and when they did team up, it could include some silly banter between the five about who’s the most superior.

Then you would have to give them emotions. That's the whole point the Daleks are supposed to have no emotions and no ambition other than hatred and destroying everything that isn't them. They actually had a Dalek laughing in the New years show it would never happen. However perhaps the Doctor (s) could actually attempt to input emotions into the Dalek matrix to force them to see what they have done over the centuries in a misguided bid to give them a conscience, in a similar way he did with the Cybermen removing the Emotion dampening chip this however, goes catastrophically wrong and gives the Daleks an overload of Thousands of years of suppressed emotion this could send them absolutely insane into a emotional state they have never experienced before and for the first time they experience all the emotions in one dump after awhile however they are left with just the negative emotions Hate envy greed ambition blood lust etc. This would make them more dangerous than ever and would be a great story itself

[@evilbarrels2506]

@@andrewtate4897 No emotion except hate, that means deep down they hate each other too. I would love a story where the Doctor can't defeat the daleks in this state, they're too strong even if they're alone, but together they can be manipulated to destroy each other.

[@andrewtate4897]

@@evilbarrels2506 The Cult of Skaro should have had this particular story line but they ended up being too easily defeated. Saying that I would like to see a cleverer sneaky more cunning Doctor who plays his cards close to His/her chest and only make the reveal of his plan and the audience when all hell kicks loose. I think that the main problem with the Daleks has really been the attitude of the writers towards them they are often viewed as silly and easily defeated but I think the fault of the writers is making the Doctor way too powerful I think Heroes must be fallible sometimes self doubting and the Victories must come harder I found that during Matt Smiths run in particular the Doctor became almost god like in his ability to defeat his enemies . I suppose they were building him up in order to make him fall but really how far did he fall? then finally they tried to dial it back a bit but I think it came way too late Capaldi's Doctor I felt was more in line with the old classic Doctors I wouldn't mind seeing the return of a Cosmic hobo who is slightly darker and more mysterious than the previous Doctors and more cunning he/she should also have a bit of ice in his/her veins. My own Vision of the Dalek in one of my stories is that the casings they ride around in are totally see through there are no circuits or visible means of piloting the casing as seen in earlier episodes. the Daleks are squid/spider like and float around in a fluid that is not only their food source (amniotic) but it also acts as a Telepathic circuit so they are able to control it just with thought. The reason for this I thought that they would look more fearsome and horrible if you could see inside the old pepperpot that would make them even more scary to look at a huge bottled monster in fluid that bubbles and writhes always in agony because what they are going through is painful that is why they sound as if they are always screaming

Though if we are embracing the weird, here is an idea of my own; What about an episode whether the doctor is objectively wrong - not misunderstanding the situation, not not having all the facts, but wrong, and he needs his companions to see reason.

Other than that, the Doctor could be out there building a communist space dictatorship and I’d be OK with it as long as it was creative, clever and ultimately kind hearted like the show ought to be (so maybe forget the dictatorship part of the idea lol).

[@McGinty84]

Omg this was first thing I thought of watching The Giggle just now

[@issh0218]

My first series would be an earthbound series akin to Pertwee's run, except it's in Victorian London and the TARDIS is broken down, and so the Doctor is a Detective by day and, well, The Doctor by night. Each job tying into the other. The culprit usually being an alien or something abnormal. This Doctor would be calm and collected but also eccentric at times as he gets too into the mystery/threat. This format would let the series mystery to feel more apart of the narrative as the Doctor is actively tying all the cases/ threats to a greater mystery he's constantly working on till the finale. This also allows the Paternoster Gang to come back and for a non-modern day companion. The whole Victorian aesthetic would make for a very gothic vibe, and so the episodes would be a lot scarier/ horror based which fits the mysteries being murders. The TARDIS would be fixed by the end of the series and have a steampunk aesthetic to it as it's been stuck in Victorian Times throughout it's self-repair. When the TARDIS finally gets going, we go back to regular space and time in the second series whilst still retaining the scarier aspects of the first series. I would introduce a new 'scary' villain (weeping angels, silence etc.) for a 2 parter. I'd have all episodes as 2 parters in this series, except the final story, which is a 3 parter which sees the companions (Victorian girl, Jenny, and Vastra *strax died for the glory of the sontaron empire last series rip*) get transported into a recreation of the Doctor's mind in a Doctor-less story. That's just my ideas on the spot. Tell me what you think:)

[@lesigh1749]

I wouldn't find most of those concepts all that "weird", within the context of the shows reality. Its reminiscent of the Big Finish style plot arcs, rather than what the TV show has become, which wouldn't be a bad thing. Two very good casting choices for the Doctor there, and there's never been two of him concurrently for a series, so that could even work out as a refreshing change of pace. I can easily imagine both of those actors very comfortably in the role. I'm not so keen on the different character Daleks idea, but then Id rather see a Dalek civil war between the older new series Daleks and the New Paradigm models. It would make for a very intriguing series, and vastly better than the lip service levels of scifi in a soap opera that we've been getting lately.

[@joshuawright4198]

I had an idea in the asylum of the Daleks we see the Dalek prime minister who the paradime supreme Salem is outranked by then in the magician's apprentice and the witches familiar we see the old red supreme dalek model and that Davros has no power really and is basically aprisoner so in my concept for a new dalek civil war the Dalek prime minister and the red model of supreme dalek are one faction representing the old-time war Daleks and on the other would be the paradime Daleks who having previously allied themselves with the time war Daleks are now great enough in number to rid themselves of the Daleks they consider less pure with the paradimes supreme dalek being the main representative of paradimes however at the end of the episode it would be revealed that the paradimes were secretly working with Davros as punishment for keeping him locked away.

Great vid! I've been wanting a two-doctors run for a while too, although the version I've planned out in my head involved The Doctor meeting up and having adventures across some series span with an old timelord friend of theirs (as a sort of companion), wherein one of the season finales involves some villain trying to kill both of them (in my head I've always kind of visualized it by way of that spinney thing Sandman goes through in Spiderman 3), but resulting in some sort of botched biological meta-crisis, where the two timelords regenerate at the same time as their atoms get shredded and mixed up together and survive the ordeal; the unwanted side effect being that now there are two Doctor/timelordfriend hybrids. Like you said in the video, this could sort out a whole bunch of plot lines about The Doctor's future, and also just flip the whole universe on its head. Plus, it would open up so many interesting character moments plot lines and possibilities for the show in a meta-sense. Having Doctor A go through Doctor B regenerating for the first time from outside their own perspective would be so interesting to see.

Coming back to this video after The Giggle and omg did Russel T Davies take Davis' idea with bigeneration??

[@BlackNarutoLOL]

I never thought that someone else was mad enough to imagine two doctors in one series. To be fair, you brought the idea further than me. Your idea work extremely well with the incorporation of Susan as a companion and I wanted to give you props for that. I think that would be a truly heartbreaking way to fully end her story arc, while at the same time leave an open wound that the Doctor will never be able to heal, because only his "other" reincarnation remembers it. The idea gives me chills. I have thought of something similar to what you have proposed, but I would put the two doctors on the opposite end of their timelines and with them sharing a companion , with her timeline acting as a bridge between them. The future doctor would be in a apocalyptic scenario, where he has fled with his few allies into the TARDIS. He blows up the outside of the ship, just to buy them time from whatever that is coming for them, even though it means that he is crippling his TARDIS. He can no longer land anywhere and he cannot even open the doors. The Doctor picks up the girl, who is semi-conscious and is whispering incoherently, and he turns to the rest of his team, asking them to hold their ground in the console room and to keep it at bay for as long as they possibly can. He asks one of them (Captain Jack) to come with him as he goes further into the TARDIS, and they strap the girl into a chair. The future doctor explains to Jack that there is no longer a way out of this and that they need to break some fundemental laws of time if they want to save their crumbling reality. Jack merely replies that he has never doubted him and never will. The doctor then leans over the girl, putting something in her hand, a glass marble with Gallifreyan symbols. He then reaches into her mind, telling her to retreat back in time, back to when everything was whole and beautiful, back to when they first met. We then see the girl waking up and we follow her on the day when she first meets the doctor (present one), but she continually has this feeling that she has met him before and through the series, as she gets to know the doctor and travels in the TARDIS, her connection with the future grows stronger alongside with a madness that cannot contain time as a linear concept. She remembers a dimensional Armageddon that will rip time apart, but it only comes to her in bits and pieces. The future doctor is guiding her, but she doesn't understand where he is taking his past self, or what it is that he truly wants. As a final resort, the present doctor takes them both to Gallifrey, constructing a bridge with the help of the Time Lords in order to properly communicate with his future self and receive the warning. His intention is both to avoid the incoming danger and to save his companion's life and crumbling mind. But his future incarnation plays them all and hijacks the bridge in order to transport himself into the past, just in time before his TARDIS crumbles and his friends are killed by whatever it is that breached the ship. This is when we realise that this is not the doctor as we know him, but that this is the Doctor of War, this is the Uncoming Storm. This is a doctor who face the brunt of the Time Lords's power, alongside the intellect of his past incarnation, and gets out in one piece. And this doctor only has one goal, which he will complete no matter the cost: to kill his past self. That's basically it for my two-doctor series arc. I personally don't like messing with the rules of regeneration too much, but I think that your idea could work if handled properly. I also like your idea for a tone, as Doctor Who needs to be weird, silly and unpredictable. As for me, I would like to include something Lovecraftian to Doctor Who as well. Not necessarily in the form of the monsters, but in the grandness of concepts. I would like to strike a balance between cosmic horror, and cosmic wonder. Space is the great unknown, and it should simultaneously delight and frighten. That's all from me. I really liked your video.

This is a great video, and all these ideas are awesome! Personally I don’t usually like psychedelic motifs, but i’m sure they can be done well! The 2 Doctors is an AWESOME idea! Also, maybe for the missing cat thing/Soviet Space Program historical, the Doctor and his companions are supposed to land in 2063 to check out the near future, but the TARDIS decides to plonk them down in 1963, right in front of a missing cat poster. The poster seems off, and the Doctor decides to investigate. Maybe it turns out that pets had been abducted from homes for the space program because an all-new alien threat had been quietly killing off the animals used in the program? And maybe Susan can tie into the Omega plot, where Susan is now an accomplished Time Lord bounty hunter who never forgets the adventures she had with her grandad? And that’s what inspired her to go out and hunt evil in the universe. Idk, just some silly ideas from a little girl behind her desktop screen, but I couldn’t get these details out of my head once i’d thought them up. :D

[@mhollis1989]

Here's what I would do: A) Give the time lords a 0th Regeneration. So that whatever name they had since birth is set asside for their own names that they choose. This leads into B, which is kinda long. B) Introduce the 1st Master as a Black Guy (Ilba specifically). Like you send 13 back to a slave plantation, and they run into the Plantation owner being waited on by a house slave (Ilba). 13 is shocked to see this slave in particular, but we don't learn why. Over the course if the episode, we a) learn that the owner found a pretty pocket watch that he wasnt able to open, and shortly ran into the slave who had no memory and no papers. The master takes the slave for himself and whips him to dissuade any attempts of escape. We also see that this slave is continually drawn to the watch, but is caught and whipped before he can touch it. You can likely already see where this is going. After the spooky time space stuff is taken care of, 13 swipes the pocket watch to the slave. The watch opens and a smaller watch falls out. Plot twist: the bigger watch was a TARDIS, and the smaller watch restores the Slave to a time lord. The restored time lord goes off in a fit of rage and storms the owners mansion. He catches the owner, and roughs him up, and rummages through his closet. The slave then tells the owner that he may be A master, the the time lord is THE Master; you might even call him the original. The Master then grows his Tardis by having it scan a wardrobe and vanishes inside. This would go a long way to explain why the Master turned out so off his rocker (in addition to him looking into the time vortex). Also remember, the first time we see the Master, he was nearing the end of his own regeneration cycle. C) I also would have went back to basics. Think Classic Tardis interior with 12' silver color scheme. Also, some question marks on the outfit. I miss those.

The moment you suggested Guy Henry woukd become the Valiard, i fell in love with this 2 doctor idea. However i think the first ep of the series should be the two doctors together so to get a feel for how they contrast

[@peterstangl8295]

well well well, look who's secretly writing the new season and not telling us about it! 😛

[@elijahfordsidioticvarietys8770]

The Doctor should go into the Russian revolution and SEIZE THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION!

[@obnoxas]

Wow, these are actually good ideas! Honestly, I was kind of nervous when starting the video, but I think that you/your ideas could bring Doctor Who back to a good place.

[@chungkingexpress94]

Well, you called it. They bi-generated the Doctor. The execution wasn't as cool as what you have here though

[@SuperCrazyfin]

I guess im a bit late to the party but when this happened your video was the first thing that came to mind.

[@15schaa]

Well, colour me interested. That's the most thought-provoking 18 minutes I can remember, and I can promise you I would TOTALLY watch that.

[@lorbaborb]

I love the idea of bringing back an old companion but the fandom would definitely complain that there's no one new so two TARDIS teams gives everyone something to be happy about

[@abrr2000]

someone forward this to the BBC. These ideas are solid doctor who! I would watch the hell out of this described seriese. It's WAY better than what we got in season 11.

[@hued2542]

Lettssss go, you better be getting them royalty cheques

[@Azoth86730]

This video is a masterpiece. I especially like the idea of two separate Doctors and the Valeyard connection. Great picks for the Doctor as well.

[@benbrown6660]

Mannn these idea's are sooo amazing! It genuinely bums me out we'll probably never see anything like it with the show😅 particularly the 5 different daleks idea works so well creatively. My only gripe with this is maybe the 2 different doctors at the same time idea is a bit too...ambitious? But other than that, your casting of the actors and how they'd portray the doctor sounds so interesting. I am really impressed man, good job👌

[@carealoo744]

Let's all team up! I guarantee you by 2025, we'll have removed all of series 11, and 95% of hell bent, from Canon! I actually have half of it planned out!

I just came across this video randomly in my feed, but it absolutely captivated me for the full twenty minutes. Cheers!

[@royalewithcheese9291]

Dam that's certainly a unique take on Who. Really intrigued as to how you could follow two different incarnations of the simultaneously and your casting choices of Adrian Lecister and Guy Henry are interesting. Never noticed how much Guy looked like Michael Jayston till you pointed it out.

[@BadKEMistry]

I love these ideas. Completely echo the support of two doctors. And man Guy Henry really could make an uncanny Valeyard. I actually had a similar idea for the five Daleks, but you took it even further than I considered (The Cult of Skaro was really fun for much the same reason). On the subject of old companions, I wouldn't mind seeing Romana again. Romana III, I suppose.

[@kraxonkooper]

BIGENERATION is now a thing goddamit. You kinda called it

[@MichaelO2000]

“Two doctors coexisting within the same series” Aka this video is a great early showing of why the Fugitive Doctor should just always be part of the series. Popping up from time to time to help and create The Two Doctors style stories. Even if one doesn’t like Chibnall’s writing, the fugitive can exist beyond him. Psychedelic Doctor Who with a twitchy Doctor sounds brilliant!

[@keegancolby136]

Utterly brilliant. I love everything about this and I really hope that in some way you make this happen. Not in the show, obviously, but maybe like a fan novel or another video like this or something.

[@thegamingdevice]

I’d hire you in a heartbeat

[@SamyulDavis]

Evan Laidler Hire me for anything. I’m on the market.

[@heatran1919]

I don't think I have the writing chops to come of with a whole season, but I'd really like to see the aftermath of 11's Silurian 2 parter. Like, I'd really love a far-future episode dealing with the politics between the humans, the Silurians, maybe even the ice warriors and zygons. I could see a cool base under siege episode where the disparate abilities and ideologies of each group could lead to a lot if interesting situations.

[@spaced1700]

Omg why is this so good holy ass. I'm so in love with the 2 doctors concept and the whole possible valeyard buildup. I also love the idea of a historical episode with the the animals.

[@tardisnet9487]

These ideas seem truly unique and new and I would love to see them in the show.

[@Sonicbolt456]

Ok. For real. If you wrote a fanfiction series with these ideas fleshed out and expanded on. I would legit spend money to read them. These ideas have so much potential and honestly made me feel exited for a show I thought had passed its time. I think the LSD aesthetic along with the horror-mystery with a sprinkling of comedy would made the show amazing. Every Idea presented in this video I agreed with and went "Yeah. That's a awesome idea". So I seriously hope you consider writing a fan fiction. Even without accompanying visuals this story could go places. You seem to have excellent imagination and the Doctor Who universe would benefit from having you be a part of it.

[@hhhieronymusbotch]

I wonder if, before doing the next regeneration, the best thing the BBC could do, is a series of one-off self-contained non-canon episodes, each with different creative teams producing, writing, directing, and casting their own visions of who the doctor, and what the show, could be. A sort of public audition for which direction to take the show. Just let a bunch of ridiculously talented individuals each throw spaghetti at the Wall and see what comes out of it.

[@chungkingexpress94]

These concepts are amazing. I don't think they're too out there at all. Multiple doctors is a staple of the show, and having two of them at once for an entire series or even longer isn't so much of a stretch that it's too far or anything. I think the wrap up of that story would have to be that they're both the Doctor, just very different aspects of him split into two entities. As if the universe knew it needed two Doctors at that moment in time. Valeyard or no Valeyard the two Doctors would have to encounter one another at some point and be completely at odds. Like maybe we just watched two episodes, one for each Doctor as you've structured, and then the third episode we realize they were on a collision course the whole time in the previous two. Love everything you've spun here. Wish you were involved with the show. This is why, as much as I love RTD I'm sad he's coming back. It will be a long time before we get a show runner who wants to shake things up like this. I'm American, but I wonder if Doctor Who hasn't been British enough for a while. I remember when I was younger the show being much weirder, in a cool way. I thought Chibnal was going to get weird with it, but he just got boring with it

[@duckvenger3628]

I'm only just discovering your channel, and I just want you to know that I've loved everything I've found so far. This video in particular really made me smile. I would love to hear more of your own version of Doctor Who!

[@maxwellgoode5798]

I know you'd probably rather write your own stories and keep your secrets, but if you ever need a writing exervise, maybe you u could write this scripts and share them? And this is coming from someone that doesn't read fan-fiction, but this has really intreiged me

[@AtomicHaven]

please!!!!!

[@ursaltydog]

I like where you're going with the Daleks actually taking on parts of the Doctor's personality that they've had to have picked up over the thousands of years..

[@Groundsey]

Here after the 60th anniversary episode ‘The Giggle’ because it was the first thing that I thought of when you know what happened.

[@ihateeverythingisgood8138]

It’s weird how I thought I was the only one who created their own costume series in their mind but now after watching this video and looking at the comments everyone has their own ideas that are fucking awesome! You people needa start writing scripts lamo

[@jjk28141984]

I don't find a single one of these choices controversial or contentious. Im with you on all of this! I think they are intelligent, brave, and bold ideas. Anything HALF this brilliant would satisfy me. I just listened to Series 4 of the Lucie Miller Era and I couldn't be more supportive of Susan returning. Like you, I've always wanted her in the show again. Even one really good episode would do. I had an idea awhile back that involved the Doctor at the end of his Regeneration Cycle (or having his regeneration ability removed), ready to die in battle, does end up dying but someone had taken his TARDIS and gathered dozens of his old companions together to coalesce all their dormant "artron energy" from their travels in the TARDIS with The Doctor and it somehow jump-starts a new regeneration. Susan would have been the icing on the cake of that idea.

[@OnyxConflict]

Loads of great ideas here. The two Doctors thing could be really interesting. (edit: I probably went into a bit too much detail story-wise, but there are some ideas I'd love to write someday:) Personally, I'd make the series a little more Black Mirror-style (just not quite as dark). Some of the episodes would explore extremes of real-life situations. Sort of like how Chibnall said he wanted to the show to "reflect the world we live in", but -better- different. I'd want to have new ideas, but often reflecting classic stories/monsters. The first episode of the series would open with the companion, something like a police detective in the 60s in a bar. He'd hear a scream and run outside, where he find a woman dead, and a robotic wolf thing run off. He chases it, it leading him into a tall disused office block or something. He'd lose the dog, taking the lift up to the top floor to try and find it, where he finds a room full of bits of alien tech, and a damaged police box in the corner. He wonders how it got there, before opening the doors at the end of the room and finding the Doctor. It turns out the Time Lords have sent the dog to hunt him down, and they escape in a car (the Time Lords can remotely control the TARDIS), with Gallifreyan ships chasing. Eventually the Doctor leaves the detective, and materialises the TARDIS around himself, taking it to the end of the Unvierse (original, I know). He'd have a confrontation with the Time Lords, who caught up as the Time Hound had held onto the ship. Then, the Time Lords would destroy the TARDIS, and make the Doctor an offer. Return to Gallifrey (and stand trial, whatever) where, if found innocent, they'd let him have his original TARDIS back. They show him the original, which is the First Doctor's TARDIS, all battered outside but shiny and new inside, with the original white design. The Doctor takes the TARDIS anyway, abanons the Time Lords, and returns to Earth, meeting back up with his companion. I'd have an episode that's a sort of spiritual successor to _The War Machines_, where governments have introduced some new AI to help govern their nations and maintain order and peace (possibly a revamped version of WOTAN itself, but with a 3D holographic avatar, perhaps). Naturally, it goes Skynet and starts killing people or something, and the Doctor has to stop it. There'd also be an episode/two-parter where the Cybermen start scanning people via their mobile phones, and re-engineer the phones, turning people into Cyberslaves (sort of like the EarPod Cybermen in _Rise_, or Robomen), which try to round people up so the Cybermen can turn up, fly people to their ships, and convert them to expand their army. The Doctor would eventually try to kill them by 'plugging himself into the Cybernet' and channelling his emotions to destroy them, but someone else (possibly his companion) would do so instead, dying in the process. Following this story would be the finale, where the Daleks use Dalek puppets to infiltrate the world's defences to disable and acquire them, then invade, eventually becoming so powerful they try to blackmail the Doctor to help them complete some missing to restore Davros or something. If he didn't they'd wipe out all life on Earth. The story would follow the Doctor, his companion, and UNIT, who try to reclaim control over their world. As for the Dalek designs, I'd have the Drones small and nasty, like the 2005 design, but more like the _Death_ colours, with the silver and black. The officer/special-weapons/guard units would be more like the Paradigm Daleks, but in the blue and gold colours like in _The Chase_. In the end, the Doctor leads an assault onto the Dalek ship, where he has to take down their shields so bomber planes or missiles could take the ship down. There'd also be a new Emperor onboard, similar to the original. The rest of the episodes would have no alien monsters, new monsters, or the Sontarans, who haven't been seen properly since 2008. I think both the Doctor and the main companion would be male (a format we haven't really seen before), but the companion would have a girlfriend or wife or something who gets introduced a few episodes in, and joins them for the rest of the series. One of them is bi or something, and their being from the 60s could be interesting.

[@OniLink99999]

I really enjoyed the sound of these ideas; I honestly didn't think they were that strange at all - just very interesting takes on the established series! Practically making the two Doctor's idea work might be a little difficult, but I have no doubt it could be done (and I'd sure love to see the Valeyard finally reappear). Susan's return is definitely one of the things I'd most like to see tackled in Doctor Who, and the way you described it was quite clever (that'd be one heck of a bittersweet ending). I've often thought that a similar approach to the Daleks would be effective as well, and I loved the personalities you came up with. Overall, the video got me genuinely excited about your ideas, so great work! =D

What i would do is a "special" series for the 60th year of Who (2023) and have a time lord Civil War on Gallifrey, resulting in a renegade time lord assisting the Daleks to infiltrate gallifrey. And have a whole season based on "The Second Great Time War". The thought of it makes me shiver!

[@ProrogonLordoftheJags]

This was actually fantastic! Love the idea of two doctors and the update to the Daleks they desperately need.

[@willherondale6367]

Now I'm wondering what I'd do if i had control over the show.. i think I'd basically just try to make 13 episodes of Listen i.e. really tackling the Doctor's psyche and the strain his life has made on him. My favourite stories are when the Doctor is challenged or deconstructed in some way or loses dramatically and completely, it's just so much more interesting to me than monster of the week, deus ex machina, well that was fun where next which is what most of season 11 seemed to be.

[@dylanbottom4669]
