Okay so there was this Who meme going around about what you would do if you found yourself in charge of Who in 2010...
Welcome to Brak's series 5...
The Doctor
David Tennant
The Companions
Maria Jackson (age 17)
Sarah Jane Adventures New Year's Special: Team Sarah Jane and the Doctor must fight off a Terileptal invasion of Earth. At the end of the special the Doctor offers to take Maria with him and she accepts. Played by Yasmin Page.
Richard Cassidy
A homeless New Yorker circa 1986 played by Tyler Hanes
Last four episodes-Margaret "Maggie" Middleton
A Londoner from a well to do family in the 19th century. An avid reader, she is a big fan of Jules Verne. Accepts an offer to join the TARDIS crew as much to see the universe as to avoid an arranged marriage. Played by Gemma Arterton
Returning villains and new adventures
Episode 1 finds the Doctor and Maria firmly ensconced in New York 1986. People have been disappearing for days at a time and when they return they're not quite the same. It turns out they're being replaced by bio-mechanical copies under the control of a previously unknown alien race who want to use New York as the focal point for some unlikely alien device, the use of which will kill all life on Earth. Maria is on her own when she discovers the nature of the copied people and two androids teleport in to get rid of her before she can tell anyone. Richard happens by and rescues her. She grabs his hand and they flee to the TARDIS where the Doctor follows the teleport signal to a ship on the dark side of the moon. Richard helps the Doctor and Maria thwart the evil plan and the Doctor offers to take him along. He accepts.
Episode 2: The Doctor takes Richard and Maria back to Elizabethan England where we finally learn what the Doctor did to earn the ire of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth I.
Episode 3: Years ago, the Doctor parted company with one of his companions. But he left her a trans-temporal beacon to call for him if she should ever need his help. When the Doctor responds to her call the TARDIS crew finds a world at the mercy of Sycorax invaders. The planet's only hope is a resistance movement led by the Doctor's former companion and her teenaged son.
Featuring the return of Sophie Aldred as Ace
With Robert Pattinson as her son, Hector.
Episode 4: 3,000 years in the future a Human colony is being quietly invaded by the last remnants of our universe's Cybermen.
Sean Biggerstaff guest-stars as a young soldier (we'll call him Calvin) who catches the eye of Maria, but who himself seems more interested in Richard.
Ends in a cliffhanger as the Doctor and Maria are cornered by Cybermen and Richard and Calvin trapped in an underground vault with vital information about how to defeat the Cybermen and rapidly running out of air.
Episode 5: A mysterious hooded woman appears seemingly from nowhere and blows away the Cybermen threatening the Doctor and Maria, but vanishes before her identity is revealed. The Doctor remarks that she seemed familiar somehow, but he can't put his finger on it. The Doctor and Maria rescue Richard and Calvin and it's a desperate race against time to stop the Cybermen before their plan can succeed. Calvin gives his life to allow the Doctor to save the colony. The TARDIS crew are devastated at the loss.
Episode 6: Hoping to give his companions a break from war and death, the Doctor takes the TARDIS to Brighton in current era Earth. But what starts out as a simple seaside holiday gets more complicated when people, animals, and objects from all eras begin appearing at random. The Doctor and his companions scramble to find the cause and put time right before there is a paradox that undoes the world. Although the Doctor is able to stop the time jumps and put everything back where it belongs, he doesn't find out who was behind it. The audience sees that the mysterious woman from episode 5 is observing them the whole time.
Guest starring Joseph Millson as Alan Jackson.
Episode 7: Will be Doctor-lite and feature the return of Jenny. She'll hook up with Maria and Richard, not realizing they're relationship with the Doctor at first. The episode will be light-hearted, but they will end up saving a planet from destruction. In the end the Doctor and Jenny reunite, but she chooses not to go with them. She's been traveling the galaxy on her own, having adventures and righting wrongs, though she concedes it might be more fun if she had companions of her own. The Doctor gives her a strange object which he tells her will grow into a TARDIS of her own before leaving with his companions.
Georgia Moffett returns as Jenny
Episodes 8 & 9: A strange creature stalks London in the 1950's. The TARDIS crew must discover what it is and how to defeat it (I'm thinking some sort of plant monster).
Episode 10: The TARDIS lands in 19th century London. Maggie, an avid science fiction reader is convinced something strange is happening, but everyone dismisses her as an over-imaginitive woman, especially her father and fiance. The Doctor believes her and with her help, the team is able to stop yet another strange time anomaly. At the end of the episode Maggie joins the TARDIS crew.
Episode 11: Deciding to ease Maggie into time travel the Doctor takes her a mere 100 years into the future. In late 20th century London the team once again encounters a series of unexplainable twists in time. The Doctor is able to track the source of the distortions to Trafalgar Square. They spot the mysterious woman who finally turns to face the Doctor. For a brief moment he appears to recognize her, but then a look of disbelief crosses his face. She looks him in the eye and says "Hello, Doctor" before ducking across the street and into a telephone booth which promptly begins to vanish with a very familiar sound. With his own TARDIS the Doctor is able to track her back to her base, a small space station located physically and temporally as close to Gallifrey as it's possible to get. Inside the station the mysterious woman confirms that it is, indeed, The Rani. She tells the Doctor that Dalek Caan's trip back in time has opened a hole in the lock around the Time War. She has been trying to retrieve Gallifrey, but has been unsuccessful, resulting in the temporal anomalies he's been encountering. She asks him to help her. The Doctor agrees and everything seems to be working when the SLABs that have been serving as The Rani's assistants take the Doctor's companions hostage and the Rani reveals that she has the Master's ring from Last of the Time Lords. The ring contains all the energy of the Master's regeneration and can be used to regenerate him from scratch (albeit slightly older than he would've been otherwise). Doublecross accomplished, the Rani throws a switch dramatically and places the ring in one of the labratory devices. The Doctor protests, but with his companions held hostage, he can't stop her. The regeneration energy forms a new body for the Master. To be continued.
Alan Rickman as the Master.
Tilda Swinton as the Rani.
Episode 12: The Master and the Rani want to use the potential energy of the Doctor's remaining regenerations to power a machine that will punch a hole through time and space and allow them to harness the power of Gallifrey to control all of time and space. Though the Doctor questions how the two massive egos will manage to co-rule the universe, they continue with their plans. The Doctor's companions manage to escape the SLABs holding them captive and race to save the Doctor who has been stalling for time. But it appears to be too late as they arrive at the lab to see the Doctor loaded into the machine. The Master moves to activate the device. To be continued.
Episode 13: Richard rushes the Master while the girls attempt to free the Doctor from the machine. Maggie is shot with an electric weapon by the Rani but is only knocked out. The Master is stronger than he looks. He overpowers Richard and activates the machine just as Maria gets the door open and pull the Doctor out. The accelerator, open and unshielded, begins siphoning power from all three Time Lords. The two TARDISes in the room (the Doctor's and the Rani's) begin to go berserk, dumping their own massive energies into the accelerator as well. The three Humans manage to shut the machine down, but the damage has been done. Uncontrolled, the machine has ripped a rift in time and space big enough to undo the universe. As the fabric of the universe begins to unravel, the three Time Lords have to work together to prevent the end of existence. In the end they are able to bring the dead world of Gallifrey through the time lock and use it to contain the rift. The rift becomes the new Eye of Harmony, restoring the planet and all its people to life. Fearing the Time Lords, the Master and the Rani escape in the Rani's TARDIS. The Doctor also beats a hasty retreat, but not before setting the space station to self destruct. As the TARDIS hurtles through the time vortex he tells his companions he expects it's only a matter of time before he is summoned home to explain what has just happened.
The Christmas special will see just that as the Doctor is called back to Gallifrey. He leaves his companions on Earth where they hook up with Torchwood and Team Sarah Jane to fight off another attempt by the Slitheen to destroy the Earth. The Doctor desperately tries to explain everything to the Time Lords including his role in the planet's destruction and restoration. Though grateful for the restoration of the planet, the Time Lords decide the Doctor is too dangerous to have free reign and order him confined to Gallifrey. Desperate to get back to Earth and save his friends, the Doctor attempts to escape but is caught. All seems lost but for the intervention of the Time Lord President who takes the Doctor to his TARDIS and allows him to leave. She removes her ceremonial mask and reveals herself to be Romana. She hands him a small device and tells him the Time Lords have his bioimprint in their computers and will be able to track him anywhere in time and space and that he knows what he must do. The Doctor thanks her and, looking grim, heads for Earth where he arrives in time to help his Human friends save the world. But all does not end happily. The device Romana gave the Doctor will trigger a radiation surge powerful enough to kill him and trigger a regeneration. It's the only way to remain hidden from the Time Lords. The Tenth Doctor bids an emotional farewell to his companions and then regenerates. The new Doctor tells his companions he'll understand if they don't wish to continue their travels. Richard and Maggie have no hesitation about continuing, but Maria, whose father was injured battling the Slitheen, elects to remain on Earth. In addition to Torchwood and Team Sarah Jane the episode will also feature special guest appearances by:
Bernard Cribbins as Wilfred Mott.
Lalla Ward as President Romana.
And will mark the debut of Christian Bale as the 11th Doctor.
