Name three fics you think I will never, ever, ever write. In return, I will attempt to write a snippet of one of them.

One of the things that consistently surprises me about reactions to new series Doctor Who is the assumption that RTD's formula is the only way the show will ever be done from now on. Sometimes this is seen as a good thing, by people who think it's the only possible way to make it work in the twenty-first century. Other times it's seen as a bad thing, by those who think the Evil Rusty has ruined their favourite show forever.

But, you know, it's really not true. Doctor Who has been played many different ways in the past, and I fully expect it to evolve further into the future. I doubt that RTD will stay on as producer forever, and the BBC would have to be insane to conclude the show just because he'd moved on. (And even if they did, there will be post-series continuations in novel/audio form.) The current formula is just one among many.

So, you know, slow day at work and I got to musing on what the defining characteristics of the different eras were ...
