Everything else I'm happy to be led by. It may be that budgets and shooting restrictions limit options on, say, historical pieces or full-on Rutan tooting space war scenes, but I reckon we can count on Moffat to be clever at least, and that might mean judicious use of current resources and not blowng the kitty on a guest star or something. I'm rambling. I’m with him, but would like to see Ice Warriors.

Will we no longer have... if we dare to ask... no more Daleks? Or Cybermen? I doubt Moffat will go that extreme, but I can see them being more relaxed. (I was about to say 'none in the new year one', but they might just because it is a new series and they need some sense of 'this is Doctor Who' which equates to 'Daleks'. What about arcs? The line "making nostalgia" could imply that there will be more recurring new things, but as an arc? I don't think Doctor Who needs it, but are the NuWho audience unable to do without? I hope Moffat is able to think more highly of them than Rusty did. Ultimately, what do I want? Damn good stories! I don't have a wishlist, except for that one demand.
