RTD is back! Um, I don't know what to think about this, actually. I hope he can take the show in a cool new direction. I don't want to see Rose again. And probably not Jack; I feel like his character is kind of done. OTOH It would be absolutely lovely to have characters I actually care about (the Doctor included). But does this ever actually happen? I feel like maybe the Beeb is squirrelly about all of this, or just generally uncomfortable, to ask someone back who left.
Then again, we will be able to see if RTD can ignite the same level of ratings he did at the show's start.
I'm curious, anyhow. First big question is will he stick with a female doctor or go back to tried and true? (And *that* might be something the Beeb would weigh in on, IDK. Especially if they are feeling vulnerable and squirrely).

I'm genuinely hoping for another female Doctor, and one who isn't white. Though if RTD doesn't hire BAME writers to write for her, the show's going to have the exact same racism problems it did during his first spin.

I'd like to see him continue with a new female Doctor, especially since we have a black female Doctor theoretically at the ready.
I'm also interested in how the BBC's partnership with Bad Wolf, effectively releasing some control of the show, might play out.
ETA: Eurgh, reading the discussions here has hit me over the head with the reminder that Rusty seemed uncomfortable with older women. I can hope that he's grown and matured over the last few years.
