Pretty obvious saying this, but it's crazy to think that 12 has so far been the only main New Who incarnation who RTD hasn't written for

Not counting both the War and Fugitive Doctors, but so far, 12 is the only main incarnation of the Doctor in New Who who Russell T Davies hasn't written for since he wrote for 9, 10, 14 and 15 during his two times as showrunner (and will obviously write for 16 in the upcoming 2026 Christmas special), but also wrote for 11 in The Sarah Jane Adventures episode "Death of the Doctor", and for 13 for her cameo in "The Reality War" (one of the better parts of that episode IMHO).

It's also interesting to think RTD did almost write for 12 since he was apparently approached to write the Series 9 premiere about Davros being on trial, before this was ultimately scrapped and Moffat wrote "The Magician's Apprentice"/"The Witch's Familiar" instead.

How do you think 12 would've been portrayed under RTD had he written for him. Please try and be civil though.

Who else thinks that in the scene in "The Stone Forest" where Hilda saw Johanna breaking down after the exit got blocked, it instantly reminded her of when she saw Johanna crying in the car over grounding her back in "The Fifty-Year Night"?

What if, when Johanna tried to pull Hilda out of the portal to Nowhere Space in the Season 2 finale, they ended up in the Fairy Isle instead of the Stone Forest?
