50TH Anniversary rumor

would tennant reprise his role again?.

When Tennant left he said he's looking forward to returning for the 50th anniversary. And he is enough of a Doctor Who fanboy that I don't see why he would turn it down.
Yea, if it was during Smith's first year, I could see Tennant worrying it might step on his (Smith's) toes, but, since it will be into Smith's 4th Series, I can't imagine Tennant wanting to miss out.
 
What about susan?.would nt it be nice to see the doctor and his granddaughter reunited(it doesnt havent to be carole ann ford)she could have been regenerate, so even william russell as ian chesterton.

Only if you buy the "Ian & Barbara haven't aged" line from SJA.

Yeah, I never saw that episode. How the hell was that supposed to work?

It was just a throw-away line. While listing off a bunch of the Doctor's former companions and what they're up to now, Sarah Jane mentions Ian and Barbara and they they remoured to not have aged since the 1960s.

Really, the line is open to intrepretation and could be easily shoved aside if they brought Ian back. Maybe the people who made these comments simply saw Ian and Barbara while they were visiting 2010 or whenever when they were with the Doctor. Or maybe their aging has slowed down to the point that they won't look elderly until the mid 22nd century or something. Or it could just be ignored all together, it's not the sort of thing the show needs to stay tied to if they ever mention the characters or show Ian again.
 
True enough. Apparantly, The Sarah Jane Adventures also blatantly contradicted the 12 regeneration limit first mentioned in "The Deadly Assassin."
 
We know Ian has aged anyway - he introduced the VHS release of the surviving Crusades episodes, and was visibly much older. (I mean the *character* did, not just William Russell.)
 
I just had a thought. We've had regenerations all this time, but what if we had a storyline involving de-generation. The dying Doctor could start going in reverse; and that could even explain the aging of the actors - the further back the Doctor goes, the closer he is to death.
 
^Hey, that's pretty good. But it wouldn't allow for all or some of the Doctors interacting together, which I imagine most of us want to see.
 
You know what we really need? A multi-Doctor story where it's the same incarnation.* Yup. Matt Smith x2!

Doc 1: Shut up, I'm thinking.

Doc 2: No, you shut up. I'm thinking!

Amy**: Wow, stereo Doctors.

Docs 1&2: Shut up Pond, we're thinking!

(*Metastasiwatchimacallit, Gangers and any other artificial duplication don't count.)

(**Insert current companion)
 
^^What about those Night shorts on the DVD? After all, we had the "present" Eleventh Doctor meeting up with an Eleventh Doctor from a point in the future preparing to take River to see the Singing Towers.

Could work.

Didn't they more-or-less do this already, "The Almost People"/"The Rebel Flesh"?
 
He said Gangers don't count. It wasn't really the Doctor. Well, it was, but it wasn't.
 
And then bring in River song and Jack to make some sexual related joke



Tennant up for the 50th anniversary

He said: “I do have the pinstripe suits in a very secure location. I have one of everything that I wore. They were given to me at the end.
“They are in hermetically sealed suit bags which I have got squirreled away somewhere.
“I hope the moths haven’t got in. I could be in for nasty surprise when I go to look for them.
“Who knows what will happen next year? I am sure there are lots of plans being discussed in quiet rooms by men with long beards and great power.

Ofcourse lots of salt since this the SUN reporting
