An Odd Couple/ mystery spinoff series where Frobisher and Panda become flat mates with each other!š§š¼ The duo have to solve mysteries relating to the artists Panda critiques. Lots of wacky shenanigans abound and the Doctor and Iris Wildthyme would pop in occasionally as well. Think of the clashing personalities!š
(I know I am a bit late to the party with this topic, but I had to tell people about this idea šš)

Watching āCarry On Nurseā and I had a thought that it would be fun to see Doctor Who attempt to do a homage to or take on or a parody of the Carry On films much like they did āDadās Armyā with Sontarans in āHeroes of Sontarā Think the hospital setting of āSmith and Jonesā but with more innuendo.
Aside from having actors do impressions of the likes of Kenneth Connor, Kenneth Williams and the like I could see this being a fun, lighthearted piece. That or a lighthearted piece which reveals something sinister occurring behind the scenes.
Not sure which Doctor would best fit such a tale (Maybe Six thinking of such stories as āThe One Doctorā?) but it could be interesting seeing Fourth or even the Seventh Doctor involved. Hell, remembering his role in āCarry On Sergeantā you could make it a First Doctor tale!

I would just love this. The best dozen or so 'Carry On' films are wonderful, British 'end of the pier show' humour at it's best and stuffed with puns! My favourite line of the lot is from Citizen Camenbert ('he's the big cheese') in 'Carry On: Don't Lose Your Head' (the one set during the French Revolution, of course, for anyone who's not familiar with the canon) 'When I get my hands on him, the Duc de Pomme Frite will have had his chips!'
There's just a hint of all this in 'Pier Pressure' - some of the characters' names for example, but it would be fun to see BF really go for it. With the Fourth Doctor, for choice. I could imagine Tom Baker having an absolute ball with a 'Carry On Doctor Who' script

I do feel like on reflection such a story would probably best fit the hour long format of the Fourth Doctor Adventures. Not long enough to overstay itās welcome but short enough to be an enjoyable piece. Not to mention as you said I could see Tom Baker having a great deal of fun with such a witty and funny script. Even if the revelation/resolution revealed that such a setting was merely the work of some evil plan.

I loved the central conceit behind the dreaded DOCTOR MOBIUS from Old World Blues in Fallout: New Vegas. Essentially, he plays the role of your garden variety diabolical mastermind, keeping his former colleagues busy in their prison laboratory. If they're focussed on him and his shenanigans, they won't turn their fascination for experimentation on the outside world that lurks beyond. Maybe the Carry On scheme is part of an elaborate con to keep the people of Erewhon safe? " Leela? Leela, I've found my tribe!"

Carry On gets a bum rap (oo-er!) these days but at it's height there was a genuine wit and a lot of talent both on and off screen. I fully believe Carry On Screaming is a comedy masterwork.

Paying tribute to what was once a British institution whilst offering its own Doctor Who twist as it were.

'Carry On Screaming' is glorious! ' Frying tonight!'
From the unusually gentle & warmhearted 'Carry On Cruising' to those wonderfully unimperial nitwits in 'Carry On Up The Khyber', it's a great run of comedy classics with just a couple of duds (imo). The early entries (oh look it's Mr. Hartnell!) are fun films of their time but mostly very different from the Talbot Rothwell era - and I don't like much from the later ones after 'Khyber'.
But at their best - well, I'm grinning as I type this, just remembering a few random scenes.

Since we now have the 8th Doctor stranded on Earth. I just had a thought- on top of my wish-list would be a meeting with Jo Jones. That would be awesome. Two of my absolute favorites in one place. Maybe a house on fire.

The Tales of Ashildr - I don't know if they could convince Maisie Williams because she would be essential. After rewatching Series 9 recently I was struck by how subtly different all of her appearances were and I think it would be awesome to see the character expanded on. If they announced a set I'd be the first to pre-order.

I would love a series that takes the works of Tacitus and Suetonius and dramatizes the late Republic and early Empire period of Rome from the POV of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, with a four-disc boxset each for Julius Caesar, Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero.
Never in a million years do I expect that this is a possibility, but I want it badly.

I need a box set continuing Mary Shellwys journey with 8, or at least bring the story to a conclusion.

This has been on my mind for ages, but I'd like to see an exiled Third Doctor on a bit of globetrotting that really analysed his role in UNIT. His station as an unreliably reliable scientific advisor that the Brigadier has to justify month-by-month to his superiors. A mission to 1970s Angolan beaches, United Nations scientific conferences in Switzerland or Greece under the Seven Years junto that was operating until '74. Actually... Have we had the Third Doctor ever visit Geneva? That could be a story in and of itself. What's an impossible one... A Michael Jayston led Valeyard series? Focussing on his powermongering on Gallifrey leading up to Trial (and encounters with the Master via Glitz whenever he tries going after something juicy in the wider galaxy). Or a continuation of his attempts to kill Sixie and Frobisher that started in the PDAs. A different kind of attempt each week, subtle or bombastic, but all of them Mr Zimmerman's agents.

You know..I always wondered why Geneva never showed much interest in the Doctor and the TARDIS. Surely having an extra terrestrial in their employ should have roused the curiosity of UNIT's other scientists and led to the Doctor being shipped off to gods know where for testing/experimentation, not to mention getting their hands on a working Time Machine (after the events of The Three Doctors of course). Unless...my illustrious namesake never actually told them the truth...š¤š¤š¤š¤

Oh Iād love a story that dealt with the Brig having to play politics to justify the Doctor, especially as we know thereās a certain rival secret organisation that was founded with the principle the Doctor was their number 1 enemy. How did Torchwood not notice him working for UNIT, or did the Brig cover for him? I donāt think weāve ever seen the Doctor meet the Brigās superiors in Geneva, that would be an interesting meeting. A Valeyard series doesnāt seem that unlikely these days tbh.

Unless...my illustrious namesake never actually told them the truth...š¤š¤š¤š¤ That seems extremely likely actually. The Brigadier doesn't seem too adverse to spycraft himself and it'd make everyone's lives a great deal easier if Dr John Smith was simply a physicist with a cottage in Wales. I can't see that lid staying entirely clamped down, though. Word would get out. Not necessarily from UNIT, but the people they encountered on the way. It's the reason I wrote up A Few Quiet Words actually, I can see the Doctor being approached repeatedly over the years with offers to defect. To foreign governments or private consortiums. I imagine that he got seconded to all sorts of projects under UNIT as one of their "strategic assets". (Regardless of how the asset and his superior felt on the matter.)

The story that originally sparked this idea, The Devil Goblins of Neptune, but UNIT up against the American CIA who had their own vested interests in ensuring they didn't suceed. Another particularly bad group were Department C19. They originally stemmed from Countermeasures, but you wouldn't know it to look at them by the Third Doctor's time. They were tasked with the cover-up and whitewash of alien invasions. Dodgy work in and of itself, but problem was that they were compromised (by the Pale Man and the Master, respectively). They were the people, through their methods, who convinced Liz to resign because they -- for all intents and purposes -- had the same superiors as UNIT. There's absolute tonnes to unpack there. Yeah. Yeah, after some thought, you're right. I wouldn't mind a one-off series that just chucks everything it can into it. A big chunk of quality that can sit proudly as a definitive edition of the lead-in.

A big chunk of quality that can sit proudly as a definitive edition of the lead-in. I would really like a story to explore how all these secret organisations get along. Say a spaceship crashes in England in the 1970s, who takes responsibility for it? UNIT and Torchwood both have the same remit of protecting UK from alien incursions so both have a claim to crash site. C19 is responsible for covering it up but also maintains the Vault, which is meant to store alien tech such as crashed spaceships, so should probably take possession of it, but the Forge and Torchwood would both probably want it for them to study. ICMG is active again under some sort of official mandate in 1970s, so where do they fit in? Bureaucratic nightmare.
