What Classic Who elements (characters, monsters, settings, a vibe, etc.) would like brought back to New Who that haven’t already been done yet? Also how would you reinvent them for New Who?
I would bring back the Land of Fiction. I am honestly shocked that they haven’t brought it back already! There are so many things you could do with it in New Who! One thing that would be really cool and meta is if the Doctor and companions were in a fictionalized version of a classic who story in the land of fiction. Complete with flimsy sets and obvious bug eyed monsters! Maybe have 13 or whoever the current Doctor is at this time and their companions act more like they are in a classic who episode as well! Another thing that would be cool for the land of fiction would be to trap them either in a fairytale or a horror story!
Also I would be really curious to see an update of the planet from The Web Planet! Think of how amazing a planet of big and insect people would be with the technology and budget Who has now! Especially if it was set after “the great flower forest regrows”, think of the visuals! They could have flying menoptra, zarbis with better sound effects, and loads of other insect people as well! Maybe they could have ladybug, grasshopper, centipede, and earthworm people! They could really develop their cultures more too!
What unexplored Classic who elements who you like to see brought over and reimagined for New who?

It’s a silly little thing, but I genuinely miss the days when the Doctor never had any idea where the TARDIS was going to end up.

What unexplored Classic who elements who you like to see brought over and reimagined for New who? I think you could do something really interesting if you revisited the Land of Fiction. I could see an adventure set there containing a lot of superheroes or a comic book setting. Would act as a commentary on how the genre seemingly pervades most popular fiction these days. If they really wanted to focus on it they could even use a few public domain heroes to make their point. Mind you, there’s a certain novelty in having the Doctor and Co encounter established literary figures such as Lemuel Gulliver and Rapunzel rather than purely original fictional characters.
