Doctor Who was a staple of British television throughout the sixties, seventies and eighties before its cancellation, and has dominated ratings since its return ten years ago. That’s four decades of television, over eight hundred episodes: a current smash hit show that’s run for so long that ninety-seven of the older episodes have actually been lost for good, vanished in the mists of time.
With all of that, it’s not particularly surprising that this venerable science fiction family show has occasionally not lived up to its own lofty standards. Any Doctor Who fan can reel off a list of the stories that didn’t cut the mustard, the serials that didn’t deliver the goods, and filler episodes are an occupational hazard in a show with that much history.
But then there’s the terrible ideas… the high (and sometimes low) concepts that were doomed from the drawing board,...

Potential Minor Spoilers Ahead
A BBC press release says that a fourteen-episode seventh season has now been confirmed for "Doctor Who" with Matt Smith to reprise the role of The Doctor for the entire run. Whether Smith will hang around for an eighth season in 2013 - the franchise's 50th Anniversary - is unknown.
The deal cements in place production on this year's Christmas special and a standard 13-episode season next year, but does not discuss whether things will be split (like this year) or go back to a 13-week run in either the Spring or Fall. A lot will likely depend on the ratings of the second half of season six.
Despite Smith's return, it's now looking highly likely that neither Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) or Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill) will be joining him. The longest regular run for a companion since the show's return in 2005 has been two seasons,...
