12 gets asked to direct the student musical at St Luke’s University after the previous director goes mysteriously missing. All sorts of antics go on including 12 turning the show into a rock opera. Things turn serious though as someone or something is trying to kill everyone involved in the production!

A sequel to Harry Houdini’s War where the Doctor discovers that Harry Houdini has apparently made contact with the spirit of his late mother.
Intrigued, the Doctor investigates and discovers that the apparition is in fact the Great Intelligence who is manipulating the great illusionist for its own nefarious ends.

We sort of got shades of this idea in a Sarah Jane Adventures story and I believe a Short Trip but a Doctor Who story set within and focusing on the homeless community of a large metropolitan city.
I could even see the Doctor taking on one of their number as a companion in order to give them a fresh start.

The 4DAs also had a 'homelessness' theme in a Sutekh story but I didn't think much of it; much too generalised imo.
MR 'The Disposessed' also had a homeless couple in it and was a much better story, they were shown as capable people who needed some individual help with specific problems to help them get back on their feet. They'd have made good Companions as you suggest.

Yeah, Gabriel Woolf is always great as Sutekh but that story certainly had quite a few issues in my opinion. I’ll definitely have to give The Dispossessed a listen then so cheers for the shout. From what I can remember I only listened to the first five minutes and then gave up for some reason.

It does take a little while to get going, but when it does there are surprises and I thought it was a good fit for Seven's TV era.

I don’t know why but I would why but I would love a DW Richard Curtis rom com homage/satire, perhaps in the style of Love Actually. It would probably work best on BF so they could use multiple different characters in the whoniverse.
If not a full story though I would love to see some individual Richard Curtis tropes or scenes referenced in DW. Like the running to your love interest before it’s too late cliche.
Sidenote: This is weirdly specific, but I really wish I could see 12 do his own version of the Hugh Grant Love Actually dance. Where he starts dancing around the TARDIS concole room and then get caught by Clara😄

Has Doctor Who ever done the "foundling on the doorstep" story?
Through circumstances typically beyond the main characters' control, they're given custody of a parentless baby and it's up to them to decide its fate (Tokyo Godfathers is a good example). I could picture the Second Doctor and Jamie tackling such a story, but I think any of the early incarnations could do it. Somewhere in the Doctors' lives where they'd have to genuinely consider whether or not they'd take on the responsibility of the child. Whether to take it with them on their travels or abandon his exploits entirely to enable a more stable life.

'Och dinna leave me with it Doctor! I'd sooner face a charging redcoat, there there shhh shhh! Will ye bring one o' those sound helmets we got from the moonbase Doctor, it's louder than ma pipes!' 'Yes and that's because you're holding it like your pipes Jamie. This way, I think... Oh no perhaps not! Zoe can you...?' 'Don't look at me Doctor! I can't program it and it doesn't respond to logic, what do you expect me to do?' 'Oh my giddy aunt...'
As a serious story (which is what I think you intended before I capered off with the idea ) then perhaps the First Doctor soon after Susan's departure would be a good time - he'd already sort of 'adopted' Vicki hadn't he and might well have been open to the idea.
Or the Third Doctor once he was well settled into life at UNIT and starting to think of Earth as 'home'. Jo would have been an instant wonderful 'aunt' to the new foundling and the Brig, would have probably made a fuss about procedure and Geneva as usual but he has a heart of gold. And if the Doctor did decide to settle down and look after one little human in particular, well it would help stop him 'running off in that confounded contraption of his', wouldn't it? A strategically important baby for the future defence of Earth!

The Doctor and Co get shrunk down to the point of entering a micro universe concealed within our regular universe.

Salamander journeys to his birthplace of Mérida in the mid-90s where he deliberately seeks out his teenage self and begins advising him and manipulating him to ensure that come the arrival of the Doctor in the future he’ll be prepared and completely unstoppable.
