Easter-y musings on the new Doctor Who season

Dear Easter bunny,

I am not sure how much I will be able to post over the next week.

So, just in case, please make sure that Doctor Who this year is solid.
There seems to have been concern that ratings last year were down.
Whisper to the BBC that this often happens in the aftermath of a regeneration, especially when an uber popular Doctor leaves like David Tennant. But Matt Smith will find an audience given time.

In previous eras, we have had random meet-ups with previous Doctors in an apparent attempt to drive ratings (hello The Two Doctors).
Or ferocious pandering to fans with impenetrable continuity-heavy glop.
We seem to know from that press conference that Mr Moffat has summat up his sleeve.
Please let it feel organic and not be an event for the sake of it.

If we have to have a Dalek story, make it an experimental one. Last year showed that treating them with humour pays dividends. And how about some Zygons if there is to be a classic monster. (We will try to forget the Silurians if you do)

And don't be afraid to be mature. Or angry. Yes it might scare off the ickles but it will open new doors.


I know it's all made now ( or at least the spring episodes are) but go do some bunny magic.
