Tap "A" to drink!!!

Wonder what would even be a spin-off as it currently stands. A Torchwood/Unit thing might need some sort of reintroduction in the next series or so to establish it again. Severe long shot but even like a limited series of 8th Doctor Adventures would be neat just to get him more screen time.

It's a bit hard to see the vision at the moment for me since the Doctor is the interesting part of it all, not the supporting cast, before it goes all Doctor Who Shared Universe.

Animated Doctor Who would be great because a la Big Finish, all the living actors could play their younger selves. But if you wanted a Lower Decks style comedy, 6 and Frobisher would work great.

I would really really really like to see McGann get an 8th Doctor mini series, he could have USA based adventures to keep inline with the theme of the movie

:yeah: Honestly just come up with whatever macguffin you need to seperate her from the Timeless Child nonsense a bit, and keep her about.

Still think she should have been a super early introduction of a future regeneration.

It's been awhile since I saw it, but from memory doesn't the entire reason for their presence boil down to:

Doctor: Okay let's just find a quick excuse to slip awa-
Supporting Character: Oh are you the man we invited to come here to play a game of cricket?
Doctor: Well I suppose there's no rush to leave...

That's Black Orchid, The Visitation is the one with the terileptils and Eric Saward's fanfic version of Henry Jago from some scripts he wrote a decade earlier

Isn’t The Visitation another of those stories where Saward clearly wants to write a story with his own special characters but is forced to include the Doctor - similar to Revelation of the Daleks?

This was his first story, and in this one the guy spends basically all of his time around the Doctor. Henry Jago is more proactive in the same archetype, even, and Talons isn't one with the Lytton problem of Revelation or, worse, Attack

Lytton should be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine.

Also whenever he's not onscreen, all the other characters should be asking "where's Lytton?".
