Charley Pollard vs Jekyll & Hyde.
Also, there's a news story today about a divorcing pair of cryogenists, one of whom has stolen all the rich American clients' remains frm the other. Gotta be a story here.

The Doctor gets turned into an animal and their companion has to care for them as their pet until the Doctor can be turned back to normal.
Sidenote: I don’t know why but I always wanted to see 12 as a dog or werewolf! Either way I bet he would be like a big puppy who licks Clara all over!😊

Could see the Doctor making thinly veiled references to the panto though which the real Dick Whittington has no knowledge of. Especially if the monster of the story is an evil cat creature or something.

Having watched the movie “Trick r Treat” for the first time recently if there was ever a DW Halloween tv special or for a BF story, what if there was an Eternal who was the physical embodiment of Halloween? Sort of similar to Sam from “Trick r Treat” an Eternal creepy child trick or treater. Imagine the Doctor or a companion unexpectedly heard a knock at the TARDIS door and opened it and it was seemingly a little kid wearing perhaps a bedsheet ghost costume and holding a bag open for candy only the Doctor and companions don’t have any candy to give which means it’s time for some tricks…..

Or really any American urban legends would be ripe for who really.

While I don’t think every crossover works in BF , I do definitely think that Missy needs to do a story with The Scorchies! Think of the possibilities! Also Missy definitely needs her own musical number!

I'm surprised we've not had the TV show set in Ireland before. Northern Ireland pay the Licence Fee after all!
Likewise, no Irish or Welsh Docs or companions on TV. Bunch of English, quite a lot of Scots.

I think a lot of Irish might be a bit offended if the first visit to them in the show was a cliche like that. There's a lot of great Irish folklore to explore that my Dad (from Donegal) would tell me as a boy. Cú Chulainn and the like. Even a historical. I don't think the Troubles or the Easter Rising would be something the BBC would be brave enough to tackle but BF did a great story about the atrocities of Cromwell in The Settling. The Book Of Kells was a plot point with the Monk in the 8DAs. Ireland is an ancient, rich place. Rife for exploration. Don't get me wrong, as a Glasgow boy I'd be all for more stories about here but as someone who grew up with an Irish half of my family and a name like Galllagher, I'd love to see the recognition for Ireland. And hey, Ireland was - for whatever reason, what some of the Timeless Child info was hidden in. People have often conflated Gallifrey and Galway. There's something there for a full story.

Honestly, it's pretty unusual that we haven't had more cryptids in Doctor Who. We have the Skarasan in Loch Ness, the Yeti in the Himalayas (the traversii living naturally in the mountains), possibly Sancreda from The Spectre of Lanyon Moor, but not much else in over sixty years. It'd be interesting to explore a story from the perspective of a cryptozoologist who may not have all the facts at their disposal (or perhaps, just this once, has a more plausible explanation than the Doctor).

A different take on Miss Hawthorne, perhaps? Someone who insists these creatures are cryptids when the Doctor would suggest otherwise?

Have we honestly never had a Bermuda Triangle story yet? A DWM comic blamed it on the Monk’s TARDIS imploding.

The handshake nearly pulled the Doctor of his feet. "Mrs Artia C. Heebramble, paracryptopsychosociozoologist." "I see. Well, delighted to meet you," he nursed his arm. "Remarkable how the young spend their time these days." "Flatterer. Say, cherie." She held up what looked to be a forty-year-old dictaphone. "Would you be willing to go on the record stating you saw a terrestrial cryptid? A being commonly but not exclusively identified as 'the Mothman'? You needn't say the name, just describe the gentle creature in question." "Well," he tapped his fingers together. "I'm certainly willing to admit--" "Oh, no..." Her face fell. He frowned beneath his mop of black hair. "Oh, no, what?" "I could tell." She pulled the equipment, and herself, away in a single swerve. "I could tell, right from the moment I saw you with those uniformed gentlemen. You're one of them." "One of whom?" She went off on a trot. "The nineties were hell for their inclusion. They got all up in my business. No respect, no jurisdiction--" "If I could just--" he waggled his fingers. "You're one of them UFO nuts." The Doctor stuck out his lower lip. "I beg your pardon?" "I understand the need for a vacation from time to time, but fact of the matter is, Earth still has its home-grown wonders. Not everything has to be extraterrestrial." He pinched his fingertips. "Not... everything, no..." he conceded. "But I think statistically, and rather in this case..."
