    It's interesting how Peter Capaldi believes that once you've done the part, it's done. That rather flies in the face of the show's own history and even a lecture his Doctor gave to an audience. But there's a balance to be struck there. I don't particularly relish the idea of AI Doctors cropping up in some future equivalent of the anniversary specials. Once in a while is a novelty. Every other year is not.

    I agree with all of them. Except for a couple you’ve mentioned.
    1 - I actually think having the tardis changing exterior for a couple episodes or more would actually be a cool premise. The Doctor could figure out why he/she can’t change it back to a police box. Obviously it doesn’t mean it’s going to be a permanent change because the police box is so iconic.
    2- It’s always possible to have a Canadian or an American playing The Doctor. We’ve had a Canadian and an American Master in the TV movie. As long as they take a good amount of dialect classes to put on an accent. But it depends on the direction of the showrunner. It would give every actor who dreams of it, a chance. The show is always changing but never say never. As long as the Canadian/American performer doesn’t change The Doctor too much and keep to the formula, we should be safe for that.
    Non relative topic: it could be a risk but we shouldn’t have Earth Bound episodes all the time. It could get stagnant and the viewership could go down. The last season had a couple of episodes with alien planets, which was a breath of fresh air. Even if the aliens were human-like. Don’t get me wrong, being on Earth does make Doctor Who, Doctor Who. It would be nice though, to change the atmosphere more often.

      What if The Doctor's accent is due to his companion has that accent? Like maybe The 11th Doctor's relationship with Amy could have explained why The 12th Doctor has a Scottish accent. It could be something to do with the TARDIS' ability to translate languages, which would explain how Shakespeare and so on have MODERN British accents despite the fact that modern British accents only go back as far as the 18th century (or was it the 19th?), with British accents prior to that sounding more like modern American accents.

Like having Henry Cavill (a British actor) play the all-american Superman - who fights for "truth, justice and the american way". We've also had TWO British Spidermen. All three still play their parts as american, because that's the character. Especially in Superman's case - like the Doctor, he embodies characteristics of the country that created him, despite being an alien. It worked perfectly fine that way round so I don't see why the same can't be true in reverse, if you can find an american who can do a convincing enough accent.

In a way, if we ever have an episode where we meet the doctor's family members, it would feel as if we knew his name. Think about, imagine if we knew everything about the Doctor and the only reduced mystery we have is his name, we might as well what his name is. Yeah, like Colin Baker was humble.

    The trouble with the Daleks is that there's no ideal resting period for them. When Resurrection of the Daleks came out, I was 11 and had only seen them in a new context once in five years (The Five Doctors), so it felt like a big deal. But five years to an 11 year old is roughly half a lifetime. At 51 it goes in the blink of an eye! So, rest them for ten years. And wake me for the second reel.

    I agree almost categorically with everything on this list, if not completely with all the reasoning. Close enough that we're not going to fight about it. Sorry if that was your intent.
    #1 for me was an American Doctor. I feel very strongly on the subject. Doctor Who is British. It's part of the cultural identity. And so, it must always remain British. So strongly do I believe this, it got me blocked on Twitter, by one of my mutuals, no less.
    The Doctor's name is a close second.
    Good list. As mentioned, with the exception of maybe some of the reasoning, I wouldn't change a thing.

At least give us a few-even several-seasons without them before bringing them back.

Giving an American actor could be good to bring a different flair to the role, I see RDJ's Sherlock Holmes type of role as a good example but only time will tell.
    Also, it's disney now so I kinda doubt they are gonna respect that.

The show can always be timeless without going on forever; we can always have novels, audios, and comics without the main universe lasting on TV forever.

While Doctor could have chosen to rule humanity, instead the Doctor is here to help us and guide us, and to defend against threats humanity is helpless against (as contrasted with the ambitions of one of the few other survivors of his people). The Doctor instead chooses to live among humans and help out of the goodness of his heart-because it is kind, because it is the right thing to do.
