If Series 10 is Capaldi's last (I really hope not), I'm hopeful that Big Finish would be able to get the rights to his Doctor, and I'm assuming Capaldi would probably have more time to do the audios than Tennant or Smith. Regarding David Tennant's returning to Big Finish for more 10th Doctor audios, a couple of posters on Gallifrey Base have hinted that, 'much to BF's surprise, he actually had to be rather coaxed back than jumping at the chance. He took slightly more convincing to appear in Day of the Doctor than all the publicity for that made out, as well. I understand he's moved on after leaving the show and (whisper it) hasn't really enjoyed Doctor Who since he left and has in fact stopped watching. Which is a shame'. We shall see. I find that hard to believe. Once a Whovian, always a Whovian.

I find that hard to believe. Once a Whovian, always a Whovian. Tell that to the people who'd stopped watching by nu-Series 9. Being a Whovian doesn't mean watching/accepting/liking everything that's given to us as if it's the best stuff since 1963. How many die-hard Trekkies tuned out of Enterprise because the writing was terrible? We're still Trekkies, we still love the fandom and the core of the show. I *love* Capaldi, but by the Purple Bathrobe of Rassilon, most of those episodes have been a chore for me to get through. Doesn't mean I don't love the show, only that I'm currently disappointed in its quality. Go through a long enough stretch with inconsistent writing, and even the actors get tired and want to leave.

Well I don't know about the rest of what Paz says but Moffat has been very open about David having to think about if he did want to do Day of the Doctor. And I've interviewed David on stage and spoken to him about how he very nearly said 'no' to the original job offer in the first place. I think you don't fully appreciate the weighing up of 'personal v professional' people have to do when making career decisions. You just assume the Doctor Who fan of their youth will override everything else. And, with all the love in the world, it's more complex than that.

That wouldn't surprise me, Tom Baker never watched his own episodes (and judging by interviews hasn't seen much of the other doctors) Eccleston indicated in interviews the same, I suppose once you've lived and breathed the show for so long it sorta kills the magic for you, the actors have been inside the process and probably look at things from a more biased or critical perspective, they've played the Doctor so maybe they don't want to 'intrude' on the other Doctors, some of the Doctors may be massive fans of the series, but they are actors fast and foremost. I'm actually kinda surprised Tennant came back as early as he did... As for myself...I didn't liked Series 6 or 7 very much (then again I didn't watch much of either series), but I've loved practically every minute of S5,8 and 9...I don't think I've seen any of Tennant's episodes since he left, but I've rather soured on his Doctor and don't feel much desire to revisit them...

Not sure, there's about 3 1/2 years between the screenings of The War Games and The Three Doctors, but I'm not sure when they were filmed. The End Of Time filmed March-April 2009, TDOTD filmed late March-early May 2013

I just know that if I was to be offered a job role on Doctor Who one day, then I left and got an offer to come back I would jump at the chance. Having said that, I would imagine I'd be more a writer than an actor.

If there's a 10th Doctor Adventures set next year, I'm hopeful Freema Agyeman is interested in reprising her role as Martha to vary things up, but I definitely won't be upset if Catherine Tate comes back again - there's no such thing as too much Donna, as far as I'm concerned.
That all being said, what I'm most hopeful for next year is a continuation of the Sixth Doctor and Peri trilogy from 2014, a darker Seventh Doctor trilogy, and the announcement of a few more four-part stories for the Fourth Doctor, whether it be Philip Hinchcliffe Presents Volumes 04 and 05 or something else. I'd also like to have Frobisher back, preferably in new stories but I'll take comic book adaptations as well.
And maybe a Dalek story for the Second Doctor? Though it does sound like we will be hearing quite a lot of the Daleks already, if the Third Doctor's encountering them in Volume 03 and the Eighth Doctor's facing them in the Time War...

As for other things I'd like to hear from BF ... Sea Devils in the main range, more Dark Shadows in whichever form the wonderful creative team behind the range have in mind, Nabil Shaban to return as Sil, longer (ie: 2CD stories) featuring the Fourth Doctor, some news (at least) regarding more Sherlock Holmes and Blakes 7, more 'The Prisoner' than just one release every 18 months and, as I always request (and probably understandably never hear), the works of HP Lovecraft getting the Big Finish treatment. Go on, BF, go on!

Really, what I'm hoping for is Martha Jones with Torchwood.

Jemma Powell and Michael Craze-led Companion Chronicles.
I'd love a Ben Companion Chronicle. While Ben and Polly do, the class differences between them would have inevitably cause some friction between them (particularly on Ben's part), however 'modern' Polly might be and the introspective nature of the Companion Chronicles format would suit such a tale wonderfully, more then the Early Adventures format.

I'd like to see Phillip Olivier return as Hex for a Companion Chronicle or a Short Trip.
I'm also partial to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead type lighter stories, where we get to see what kind of hijinks minor characters got into during existing stories when the Doctor and company were saving the day.

Actually, on this one, I think we should defer to him - he's the actor. If he wants to refer to his character as Doctor Who, then his character is Doctor Who. there are 13 men out there who have the right to call him whatever they please. The rest of us just have to nod.
