I would love for the Rose/Jackie episode to be a silly Jackie-focused rom-com adventure with her and Pete trying to organise an anniversary date that keeps going wrong where every now and then Rose and the Human!Doctor interrupt a scene to reveal that they're fighting off an alien invasion basically by themselves and Jackie's like "I'll help in a second, let me get the Good Champaign first!"
@@EngineerLume so you think an episode of Doctor Who, that’s a rom-com would go down well with audiences? This is the sort of thing you’d like to see? It just sounds like cringey fan fiction to me.
I would love a episode with Charlie. I just got through the divergent arc and I feel she would be great on tv. Plus we need more big finish material in the actual show
8th Doctor spin off series. There’s concern that having two Doctor’s in different shows running at one time would be confusing for people but as long as they call it something like ‘8th Doctor: The Lost Years’ I think it would work great! McGann was so good in The Night of the Doctor we need more of him on screen! 👍
If Matt Smith was up for it, a spin off where they show off more of what he did on the planet Trenzalore would be awesome. I remember seeing somewhere that if matt had stayed for series 8, the time of the doctor would have been the entire series. Of course, they should also do a spin off with paul mcgann on screen as the 8th doctor.
@@Mohammedamine9. I personally feel the best way to acknowledge Susan showing up in expanded media would be something like "Grandfather! You said you'd come back one day..." "Well, I dropped in." "That doesn't count- And then either "Come here, you silly old man" Or "Well, it's a bit late now... I built a whole life without you!" I feel like that gets around acknowledging any specific continuity, and could be interpreted as a reference to The Five Doctors or The End of Time, so it wouldn't confuse more casual fans.
@@DayOldMeat i was talking about the fact that last time the doctor saw Susan was when the daleks killed her son alex( fun fact Susan's son is played by Paul mcgann's son)
We could give Jamie some love - "The MacCrimmon of MacCrimmon", where we follow Jamie trying to ensure the survival of his clan as the English crack down after the Jacobite Rebellion.
I would like a spin off that showed how Romana got from e space to Gallifrey as that would be so interesting and wouldn’t mess with the big finish stuff too much
For me it would be a Tegan and Nyssa series. However rather than have them already together and have it be another legacy character investigates Aliens show, S1 at least would be the story of how they reunite and got together. It would be a mix of a Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy and a Romcom.
To add to the Susan episode: Susan has stayed on Earth as she watches itself recover from the Dalek Invasion. It has been decades since the Earth was taken over, and since then, she has watched it become a near utopia, until recently where she was watched the rise of an extremist group start to grow. Susan needs to find out who is in charge of this and how she can stop it. What she finds could mean the end of the Earth. The leader of the extremist group: The Last Dalek. This idea has probably already been made by Big Finish or something.
It would be great to get some of the non-Earth based classic companions back while we can. An anthology series following the companions we can still do would be great
I don't know what I want, but I know I don't want a Time War miniseries, I feel like that's the Obi Wan Kenobi series of this fandom. We know how it goes and it can't do anything interesting. Get McGann back sure but just let him have fun.
I love the one you pitched with Ace, making the "final" classic adventure has such an appeal to it, especially with Disney de-aging and the 60th anniversary, it just feels right! Personally, I'd love to do a UNIT centred show with everyone associated over the years returning for various episodes of their own. This means you would be able to showcase Martha and Jo etc. Maybe crossing over with Torchwood etc as well. I ESPECIALLY love the idea of previous monsters UNIT faced coming back, I think Axos would be a perfect one as they only appearead once and could be UNIT's arch nemesis! I think the Gallifrey makes so much sense, and that could be it's own series imo. Romana and Leela heading up both sides of Gallifreyan society in a "golden" era before the buildup to the time war it would be awesome to get more of a look into normal Shabogan society outside of the Timelord high council.
Funny, I thought about an exact same spin off series! I took it one small step further in my head though. I agree there should be some companion "follow up" stories and love the idea of a 6th Doctor meets Mel or an Ace and 7th final story, but I feel the series should start with David Bradly as the 1st Doctor's last day on Gallifrey... just before he leaves with Susan as Episode 1. (with a recast for younger Susan or De-age Carole Ann Ford). He can even have a scene in a Gallifreyian coffee shop where he's telling a young incarnation of the Master that he's decided to leave Gallifrey and take the Hand of Omega with him. The Master would be angry with the Doctor because he's "abandoning his friend" with these other plans that do not include him! Now you have a Master that has resentment toward his "old friend" origin story. Then Ep2 have it jump to a Martha present day story. Then after a few other companion stories, or past Doctor and companion final untold story, have Susan back and do her 8th Doctor Big finish story as an episode. The clincher in this series would be it could have a story arch that spanned across all the different times in the series to build up to a finale episode with say Omega (since RTD is so good with those) ... and that can even tie into the current season of Ncuti's Doctor timeline! I even have a name for this spin off... "Time Streams" :D
An episode where Jackie comes across some sort of alien thing at work, thinks she can deal with it so doesn’t tell Rose/Doc & does EVERYTHING wrong would be the best and most iconic episode of Doctor Who’s 60 year run let’s be honest
Season 2 Pitch: 1.Polly, This could be an episode where she faces off against something like a war machine 2.Grace 3.Amy and Rory 4.Seargent Benton 5. Ian, (If William russel hasn't passed on) I'd love a slice of life with him teaching, and sharing his stories at the support group and perhaps dealing with the death of barbara perhaps
Wasn't it implied by the Sarah Jane funeral audio reunion thing that basically all the doctors companions who are still alive know each other and have a little community? Or at least know how to get in contact?
Yeah, and even if that video and the show's versions aren't linked, everyone still around in 2020s Earth are connecting. I'd love if RTD picks up on Chibnall's companion club at the end of Power of the Doctor. Kate and UNIT will have ways of finding everyone, UNIT worked with many companions and Kate even wants to recruit some haha (which is why a UNIT series would work - even companions can turn up!)
Great idea Josh! My dream spin off would be cop comedy mini-series. Silly human officer (Simon Pegg or Kevin Hart?) with hardcore Judoon soldier solving cases across the galaxy. And the chief of this space police would be great cricket fan played by Peter Davison (a parody of Fifth Doctor).
I like this concept, and episodic variety guest driven TV is right on trend. I love Jo Grant, and would love to see her episode. The auton angle is good, and some of the autons were heat activated, so we get a global warming tie-in, which is on point for Jo's environmentalist character, and we get a Greta Thunberg cameo too. I crave the answers to Susan Foreman's character, but I almost don't want to hear them. Some mystery is worth preserving. What about Amy and Rory's life back in the 1920s? A little romp in the jazz age as they live out their lives in the past? They had so much heavy drama, they deserve a little non-existential-crisis fun. And Sabalom Glitz! Who wouldn't want a lovable rogue rom-com with the bickering Bush and Glitz? I'm behind your spin-off idea. It could be really fun.
I swear to god the Time War is the best place for a video game. Any kind! An fps, a choices game, an adventure game (you’d know about those lol). Get on it BBC!!
As always, I love your videos and here, you show a strong grasp on what could work with the existing audience as well as pulling in new viewers. The anthology format is a great one to keep people coming back. I like all of your choices: Susan, Martha, Jackie (yes, that's my takeaway from it), Jo, Romana and Leela (although I'm also not a Gallifrey fan, there is something there), and Ace (although I'm not a fan of de-aging so I'd rather see her now). Martha would be my favourite episode. Or Jo. Or all of them! :) For me, I'd also love to see Turlough. Even though he had an unusually conclusive end to his story, I feel that exploring that world would be wonderful, even just for an episode. And of course I want more Nyssa. Lots of Nyssa episodes! The spinoff I'd most like to see is... this one! I think you've hit on the perfect idea.
Love your videos! Susan returning to the series, or a spin-off is long over due. Is River Song her grandmother?? Hmmm I would like to s series about the 60's companions, set in the late 60s. Did Ian and Barbara marry or have children? Did they have a 'time-baby' ( like Amy & Rory)? A romance between Polly and Ben, or even with Dodo? Or is Ben bisexual? (sorry that's prob just my fantasy series). Is Polly Wright, the niece of Barbara Wright but they have never discussed their time with the doctor? Did Victoria Waterfield or even Tegan's Aunty Vanessa help with the creation of UNIT? Who were Ace's parents when she was born? What did all these characters do during the 1969 "The Invasion" (of the Cybermen). I've probably thought about it too much!
I don't know if you've read the hellboy comics but they have this buraeu that deals with supernatural / alien stuff without Hellboy. I think something like this with Unit could really work for a spinoff. Just focuss on Unit.
Love the vid, my headcanon is that Tegan & Ace met at the brigadier’s funeral: he’s the only real link on Earth they would have, plus explains how they seem to know Kate too
I'd actually love Ace and Mel to come back with their respective Doctors for meeting/departure stories, without even de-aging the actors. Just have some Shada-ending like scene at the beginning that makes their characters look older and then get on with it.
@@jeremythomaswebb1485 The Wrong Doctor does this, whilst raising more questions! It also features the Doctor referencing the Spice Girls and saying "TTFM".
@@DayOldMeat Granted The Wrong Doctor does cover Mel's early encounter with the Doctor. But it's not the adventure where Mel officially joins the Doctor in the TARDIS. It's a story that is in the same kind of style of that Origin Stories anthology series. Companions encountering the Doctor before they join the TARDIS. It does cover what happened to Mel after the story The Ultimate Foe.
If they hadn't passed on, I'd have loved to see Sarah and Harry reunite. Or an episode where the super great ancestor of Jamie McCrimon digs into his family history and wants to figure out why his super great grandad was spotted in the 60s, the future or other historical periods when he was from 1745. Now that'd be thrilling!
Honestly, I don't know how possible it would be with the rights, but I would love to see Daphne Ashbrook reprise her role as Dr. Grace Halloway and maybe team up with Chang Lee to stop the Eric Roberts Master one more time? Or some remnant of him. This could all be filmed in Vancouver as all of the actors are American, plus you could bring in some actors from the CW shows to play some side-characters. I definitely see a potential there. Also, on a side note, maybe each episode (or most of them) can start off at the companion support group with each of them recounting a story. Or other companions could come in that way to help out if needed.
If we get Animated Big Finish "Scherzo" needs to be animated using the "pencil art" of A-Ha's "Take on me". An almost featureless world with just Charley and 8 walking in a circle in the choppy pencil art would be so spooky.
I don't know if anyone's commented this yet but Big Finish did a story called After the Daleks which basically did your idea for Susan fighting a surviving Dalek in the ruins of London
Good video, I'd like to see a series like this. One nitpick though - I'm not sure how it 'doesn't make sense' that Tegan and Ace know each other. They were both working for UNIT, so that would be how they met off screen.
Big Finish being ignored would be so disheartening they add so much to the lore. I think they would make your show even better. I love your outline. I'd watch it.
Jackie's Big Finish stories with the Meta-Crisis Doctor are pure gold and really explore the character in a beautiful way, it goes into how she thinks and feels about her role in her life and her family's lives. We even got some insight during Love and Monsters which was actually quite good. Jackie gets slept on and I think seeing her again - if given the attention it deserves - could be such a good idea.
I know I'm being a Basic DW fan when I say this but GIVE👏JEMMA👏A👏UNIT👏 SHOW 👏👏👏 But for real, A UNIT show with a budget could be a fun globe-hopping series, since I believe UNIT is supposed to have bases all around the world
Great idea on the companions. Reminds me of Harry Sullivan's War or K9 and Co. Susan story is a good start. Ohh.... Martha Jones, good idea. I dunno, I still like Mickey involved. Of course, Jo Grant is essential....neat Auton idea. Miss Liz Sladen.... A Rose and Jackie story would be neat doing a parallel. Romana II and Leela....Time War? Ace makes sense....yup, fill in the gaps. Thank you for the video! Nyssa Adventures!
1:17 Has anyone read Legacy of the Daleks? I intend to, but haven't yet. No, I don't have a copy either... In 2017 I was thinking it'd be fun to have Kris Marshall (being speculated as the possible next Doctor) turn up in the following series of Doctor Who, meet the Doctor, do an insane "Nick Harper" grin for slightly too long and say "Grandmother! It's me - I regenerated! 😁"
I would have Martha back in anything Dr Who in a Billionth of a second. Brilliant in the series outstanding in Torchwood, absolutely. But me being me I would have them all back, let them shine.
class was bloody awful, Torchwood was passable; but Sarah Jane Adventures had the true heart of Doctor Who family friendly TV. It only ended because Liz Sladen died.
Hey Josh, you can’t bring Dodo back as Jackie Lane passed away. But how bout Steven Tyler time as the ruler of the Elder/Savages home planet??? Of Ian Chesterton’s golden days after his Travels with the Doctor and Barbara’s passing? The one spin-off that would work for one series and 13 episodes is the Time-War with the War Doctor in two different actors. A younger incarnation play by somebody that resembles John Hurt and John Hurt himself!!! It would chronicle his freshly regenerated self going back to Gallifrey and elsewhere to fight the Daleks until he gets older in the John Hurt state which would show how the long war is affecting him which would end with him stealing the Moment and about to activating it until he hears the Bad Wolf telling him to reconsider which would lead the events of Day of the Doctor. BBC missed out a spectacle as they where too miserly and Hurt already Passed!!!
Never mind Rose. Geoff! Nobody would complain about Jackie and Geoff doing a buddy cop style movie! Two old fogies, one a sporty mum, the other a gristled vet, maybe with a younger body to help out occasionally!
There's a few ideas I'd love to see, ofcourse an 8th Doctor spin off would be the no. 1 but really I'd like a continuation of the spin off series's we've already had. Torchwood and the Sarah Jane adventures. I mean look what happened when John Barrowman returned to doctor who everyone went crazy so his return to Torchwood even if it's just a passing on of the torch ( excuse the pun) would be great. I think the Sarah Jane adventures could be great if Luke took up the mantle fighting aliens, get to see his relationship maybe they even adopt. I dunno just brainstorming here 😂
As much as I'd love to see Lucie bleedin' Miller in an episode, I'm not really sure how that could work given her departure from the Eighth Doctor Adventures series. But I'd love to see a UNIT spinoff series, with Kate, Osgood, and Martha Jones as the stars!
I think the Katy Manning episode idea is brilliant (I love Katy manning anyway with her being one of my favourite classic companions). I feel it would have been better then the Praxies (the one with the crazy birds and kidnapped astronaut from Jodie’s era)
On the side note of, de-aged characters. I would almost want to do this: Ace and or a couple of other characters are running through the Doctor's timeline using a manipulator! They are trying to stop some time-traveling menace that is trying to rewrite history. The series cuts in digitally enhanced footage from old episodes, with reproductions using look-a-likes of the past characters! At first Ace and Co are trying to avoid running into their past selves but the series ends with a mix of past and current day companions working together. They could even bring back Me and Clara for a story like this, the idea being that the Doctor has No Clue all this is happening behind his backs! Bonus points if the threat is Omega! Bonus, bonus points if the threat of Omega somehow explains the Timeless Child stuff, Jo Martin joining the cast part way though! ie, converging alternate timelines, or some other shenanigan!
4:55 Even in this age of continuity nitpicks, they just can't even begin to manage it in Doctor Who. See also, Rose's phone that turns up after she leaves it behind in a parallel world ...
The Group Therapy session at the end of the latest show would be a great jumping-off point. Kate (UNIT) Stewart had said something about getting their help from time to time. Good idea!
Steven Taylor people! Peter Purves' idea of the doctor returning to find Steven an authoritarian ruler of the society from the savages has legs! There's so much existing drama in the Dr/Steven relationship I think a lot could be done with it
A nice idea. I think that's basically the only way to do a companion series. I personally would love a continuation of the Shalka universe. It feels simple to make, why haven't they done it yet?
I've always wanted an anthology series to fill the gaps, of knowing what the characters are up to. The goodbye between ace and 7 is a good idea. Of the de-aging doesn't work i guess it could be done in animation. I'd watch that
I like your idea, most others ideas i see are mostly just doctor who, but someone else in the place of the doctor, or just another version they like. Which is fine and needed, but if we are having more than one spinoff i thing more genres should be considered. The idea I had was Jackie Tyler in her universe running an inn and tours for aliens who are interested on earth just as a tourist destination. it would 100% be a sitcom.
I personally feel like the anthology approach makes the spin-off too dependent on the parent show. Rather than something to give this Series its own identity, the only throughline to all these disparate stories is, "Well they all knew a character on a different show once."
A series focusing on Ian and Barbara. Simple drama to them adjusting to their old home after the chase and how they react to the events taking place in their present like Wotan or autons
My perfect spin off would be a proper season for the 8th Doctor since he only ever got the TV movie like it doesn't even have to pick up where it left off with the movie just show a few adventures that happened before he regenerated into the War Doctor with the actor at his current age since he still looks about the same as he did when he regenerated. I would've loved to have seen a War Doctor spin off where you get to actually see the time war but sadly that can never happen.
Interesting idea but your Susan episode doesn’t address the 5 doctors where she seemed to be back in modern times and not captured with the doctor saying it was the present time unlike the second doctor and the brigadier who were captured together saying it wasn’t the present time but my dream series would be one of the Victorian team of Madame Vastra her wife jenny and strax cause their episodes are always good
It can't be just, I'd like this situation with such and such actors, that would be a special, a one off. If you want to do a series spin off you must pitch a situation. What does our hero or heroes needs each time we meet them, the character could require to achieve a goal in the series. The show can be anchored to a fantastical location. I just wrote an example an idea for a show that is so good I had to delete it from here and into my private documents. It's called The Orb of Sinistra. But here is not the place to post it.
I would love for the Rose/Jackie episode to be a silly Jackie-focused rom-com adventure with her and Pete trying to organise an anniversary date that keeps going wrong where every now and then Rose and the Human!Doctor interrupt a scene to reveal that they're fighting off an alien invasion basically by themselves and Jackie's like "I'll help in a second, let me get the Good Champaign first!"

@@JoshSnares i thought that might be a possibility because of your old recons, they're awesome!
Love your videos! Susan returning to the series, or a spin-off is long over due. Is River Song her grandmother?? Hmmm
I would like to s series about the 60's companions, set in the late 60s. Did Ian and Barbara marry or have children? Did they have a 'time-baby' ( like Amy & Rory)? A romance between Polly and Ben, or even with Dodo? Or is Ben bisexual? (sorry that's prob just my fantasy series). Is Polly Wright, the niece of Barbara Wright but they have never discussed their time with the doctor? Did Victoria Waterfield or even Tegan's Aunty Vanessa help with the creation of UNIT? Who were Ace's parents when she was born? What did all these characters do during the 1969 "The Invasion" (of the Cybermen). I've probably thought about it too much!
I don't know if you've read the hellboy comics but they have this buraeu that deals with supernatural / alien stuff without Hellboy. I think something like this with Unit could really work for a spinoff. Just focuss on Unit.
Love the vid, my headcanon is that Tegan & Ace met at the brigadier’s funeral: he’s the only real link on Earth they would have, plus explains how they seem to know Kate too
I'd actually love Ace and Mel to come back with their respective Doctors for meeting/departure stories, without even de-aging the actors. Just have some Shada-ending like scene at the beginning that makes their characters look older and then get on with it.
I’d be down!
I'm still waiting for Big Finish to do a story showing Mel actually join the Doctor on his travels.
@@jeremythomaswebb1485 The Wrong Doctor does this, whilst raising more questions! It also features the Doctor referencing the Spice Girls and saying "TTFM".
@@DayOldMeat Granted The Wrong Doctor does cover Mel's early encounter with the Doctor. But it's not the adventure where Mel officially joins the Doctor in the TARDIS. It's a story that is in the same kind of style of that Origin Stories anthology series. Companions encountering the Doctor before they join the TARDIS. It does cover what happened to Mel after the story The Ultimate Foe.
Just throw ideas at Pearl Mackie and bring Bill back. I love that character!
If they hadn't passed on, I'd have loved to see Sarah and Harry reunite. Or an episode where the super great ancestor of Jamie McCrimon digs into his family history and wants to figure out why his super great grandad was spotted in the 60s, the future or other historical periods when he was from 1745. Now that'd be thrilling!
Honestly, I don't know how possible it would be with the rights, but I would love to see Daphne Ashbrook reprise her role as Dr. Grace Halloway and maybe team up with Chang Lee to stop the Eric Roberts Master one more time? Or some remnant of him.
This could all be filmed in Vancouver as all of the actors are American, plus you could bring in some actors from the CW shows to play some side-characters. I definitely see a potential there.
Also, on a side note, maybe each episode (or most of them) can start off at the companion support group with each of them recounting a story. Or other companions could come in that way to help out if needed.
This might be a bit of a stretch, but I would love to see Katarina returning.
Meet the one and only showrunner for The Nyssa Adventures, Josh Snares
If we get Animated Big Finish "Scherzo" needs to be animated using the "pencil art" of A-Ha's "Take on me".
An almost featureless world with just Charley and 8 walking in a circle in the choppy pencil art would be so spooky.
I don't know if anyone's commented this yet but Big Finish did a story called After the Daleks which basically did your idea for Susan fighting a surviving Dalek in the ruins of London
Susan Post "Susan's war" would be incredible.
Good video, I'd like to see a series like this. One nitpick though - I'm not sure how it 'doesn't make sense' that Tegan and Ace know each other. They were both working for UNIT, so that would be how they met off screen.
All I want is a paul mcgann spin off I don't want anything else well.
I’d love a spin-off with Clara and “Me” !
Been loving all the content! I was sad Class was canceled. Writing this as I begins watching can’t wait to hear your thoughts!
For the third season we see Frobisher take on Dogbolter as Frobisher investigates an underground crime rink with weevils and ice warriors
Big Finish being ignored would be so disheartening they add so much to the lore. I think they would make your show even better. I love your outline. I'd watch it.
Jackie's Big Finish stories with the Meta-Crisis Doctor are pure gold and really explore the character in a beautiful way, it goes into how she thinks and feels about her role in her life and her family's lives. We even got some insight during Love and Monsters which was actually quite good. Jackie gets slept on and I think seeing her again - if given the attention it deserves - could be such a good idea.
I know I'm being a Basic DW fan when I say this but GIVE👏JEMMA👏A👏UNIT👏 SHOW 👏👏👏
But for real, A UNIT show with a budget could be a fun globe-hopping series, since I believe UNIT is supposed to have bases all around the world
Animated. Make it animated. Ala Star Wars Visions or What If.
I want a spinoff show focusing just on K-9.
That already exists
I definitely think that doing an anthology show would work as it would allow for more unique stories
Great idea on the companions. Reminds me of Harry Sullivan's War or K9 and Co. Susan story is a good start. Ohh.... Martha Jones, good idea. I dunno, I still like Mickey involved. Of course, Jo Grant is essential....neat Auton idea. Miss Liz Sladen.... A Rose and Jackie story would be neat doing a parallel. Romana II and Leela....Time War? Ace makes sense....yup, fill in the gaps. Thank you for the video!
Nyssa Adventures!
Luke Smith Adventures, Paternoster Gang and Companion Support Group (investigating aliens Sarah Jane Adventures style) all need to happen!
Ace needs a Spin off off her own
1:17 Has anyone read Legacy of the Daleks? I intend to, but haven't yet. No, I don't have a copy either...
In 2017 I was thinking it'd be fun to have Kris Marshall (being speculated as the possible next Doctor) turn up in the following series of Doctor Who, meet the Doctor, do an insane "Nick Harper" grin for slightly too long and say "Grandmother! It's me - I regenerated! 😁"
I would have Martha back in anything Dr Who in a Billionth of a second. Brilliant in the series outstanding in Torchwood, absolutely. But me being me I would have them all back, let them shine.
class was bloody awful, Torchwood was passable; but Sarah Jane Adventures had the true heart of Doctor Who family friendly TV.
It only ended because Liz Sladen died.
Hey Josh, you can’t bring Dodo back as Jackie Lane passed away.
But how bout Steven Tyler time as the ruler of the Elder/Savages home planet???
Of Ian Chesterton’s golden days after his Travels with the Doctor and Barbara’s passing?
The one spin-off that would work for one series and 13 episodes is the Time-War with the War Doctor in two different actors. A younger incarnation play by somebody that resembles John Hurt and John Hurt himself!!!
It would chronicle his freshly regenerated self going back to Gallifrey and elsewhere to fight the Daleks until he gets older in the John Hurt state which would show how the long war is affecting him which would end with him stealing the Moment and about to activating it until he hears the Bad Wolf telling him to reconsider which would lead the events of Day of the Doctor.
BBC missed out a spectacle as they where too miserly and Hurt already Passed!!!
Never mind Rose. Geoff! Nobody would complain about Jackie and Geoff doing a buddy cop style movie! Two old fogies, one a sporty mum, the other a gristled vet, maybe with a younger body to help out occasionally!
There's a few ideas I'd love to see, ofcourse an 8th Doctor spin off would be the no. 1 but really I'd like a continuation of the spin off series's we've already had. Torchwood and the Sarah Jane adventures. I mean look what happened when John Barrowman returned to doctor who everyone went crazy so his return to Torchwood even if it's just a passing on of the torch ( excuse the pun) would be great. I think the Sarah Jane adventures could be great if Luke took up the mantle fighting aliens, get to see his relationship maybe they even adopt. I dunno just brainstorming here 😂
As much as I'd love to see Lucie bleedin' Miller in an episode, I'm not really sure how that could work given her departure from the Eighth Doctor Adventures series. But I'd love to see a UNIT spinoff series, with Kate, Osgood, and Martha Jones as the stars!
So many male companions. Yates and Benton would be cool. Turlough going back to his home planet would be cool. Adam having a space forehead even
I think the Katy Manning episode idea is brilliant (I love Katy manning anyway with her being one of my favourite classic companions). I feel it would have been better then the Praxies (the one with the crazy birds and kidnapped astronaut from Jodie’s era)
On the side note of, de-aged characters. I would almost want to do this: Ace and or a couple of other characters are running through the Doctor's timeline using a manipulator! They are trying to stop some time-traveling menace that is trying to rewrite history. The series cuts in digitally enhanced footage from old episodes, with reproductions using look-a-likes of the past characters!
At first Ace and Co are trying to avoid running into their past selves but the series ends with a mix of past and current day companions working together. They could even bring back Me and Clara for a story like this, the idea being that the Doctor has No Clue all this is happening behind his backs!
Bonus points if the threat is Omega!
Bonus, bonus points if the threat of Omega somehow explains the Timeless Child stuff, Jo Martin joining the cast part way though! ie, converging alternate timelines, or some other shenanigan!
I always find it funny that dodo "went away to the country" which sounds like a lie you say about a pet that died....
I vaguely remember Dodo got finally written out rather nastily in the "Who Killed Kennedy" book by David Bishop.
4:55 Even in this age of continuity nitpicks, they just can't even begin to manage it in Doctor Who. See also, Rose's phone that turns up after she leaves it behind in a parallel world ...
The Group Therapy session at the end of the latest show would be a great jumping-off point. Kate (UNIT) Stewart had said something about getting their help from time to time. Good idea!
Steven Taylor people! Peter Purves' idea of the doctor returning to find Steven an authoritarian ruler of the society from the savages has legs! There's so much existing drama in the Dr/Steven relationship I think a lot could be done with it
A nice idea. I think that's basically the only way to do a companion series.
I personally would love a continuation of the Shalka universe. It feels simple to make, why haven't they done it yet?
I've had a spinoff starring Martha Jones written in my head along with some set drawings and written outlines somewhere for maybe 12 years now.
I've always wanted an anthology series to fill the gaps, of knowing what the characters are up to.
The goodbye between ace and 7 is a good idea. Of the de-aging doesn't work i guess it could be done in animation. I'd watch that
I like your idea, most others ideas i see are mostly just doctor who, but someone else in the place of the doctor, or just another version they like. Which is fine and needed, but if we are having more than one spinoff i thing more genres should be considered. The idea I had was Jackie Tyler in her universe running an inn and tours for aliens who are interested on earth just as a tourist destination. it would 100% be a sitcom.
I personally feel like the anthology approach makes the spin-off too dependent on the parent show. Rather than something to give this Series its own identity, the only throughline to all these disparate stories is, "Well they all knew a character on a different show once."
Amelia Ducat Investigates! would be my spin-off choice. 😃
A series focusing on Ian and Barbara. Simple drama to them adjusting to their old home after the chase and how they react to the events taking place in their present like Wotan or autons
this show would genuinely be amazing to watch, id love it, but im a sucker for anything anthology lol
My perfect spin off would be a proper season for the 8th Doctor since he only ever got the TV movie like it doesn't even have to pick up where it left off with the movie just show a few adventures that happened before he regenerated into the War Doctor with the actor at his current age since he still looks about the same as he did when he regenerated.
I would've loved to have seen a War Doctor spin off where you get to actually see the time war but sadly that can never happen.
Wartime a spin-off about the Thal-Kaled conflict would be great
Interesting idea but your Susan episode doesn’t address the 5 doctors where she seemed to be back in modern times and not captured with the doctor saying it was the present time unlike the second doctor and the brigadier who were captured together saying it wasn’t the present time but my dream series would be one of the Victorian team of Madame Vastra her wife jenny and strax cause their episodes are always good
I didn't know I needed this, but now I just want to bother The BBC until they do this
I like your idea it would make it possible to turn the Companions of Doctor Who novels into tv stories.
The doctor did return for susan, in the five doctors, and in paul mcgann's big finish
This is a fab idea get the crew who make the Companion Chronicles at Big Finish to write and Animate them to keep costs down
id love a k9 episode which is a collection of short stories detailing where each model of k9 is now and what life is like from his perspective
Fugitive:
A series about how the Second Doctor regenerated into his third life
I love this idea!!! Susan is ideal for the first ep
Remember Jackie was pregnant so there's another baby!
Quite simply: yes! Less simply: yes, make this happen! Like yesterday.
It can't be just, I'd like this situation with such and such actors, that would be a special, a one off. If you want to do a series spin off you must pitch a situation. What does our hero or heroes needs each time we meet them, the character could require to achieve a goal in the series. The show can be anchored to a fantastical location. I just wrote an example an idea for a show that is so good I had to delete it from here and into my private documents. It's called The Orb of Sinistra. But here is not the place to post it.
Gimme a Chang Lee episode. What he do with that bag of gold dust? I gotta know.
I'm just waiting for the Michelle Gomez Master spin-off series
I just want to see Paul. I need more Paul on screen
Me too, he's a great actor.
Dodo: A Life
Give me a Paul mcgann 8th doctor series.
Romana should have already been in Nu Who years ago.
Pausing 1 minute in to say that Adric had better be in this!
Raston Warrior Robots! It's just an excuse to see various monsters lose their heads in the Death Zone.
heck yeah, another video, just what i needed!
The maggot joke killed me 😂
