Doctor Who
Summary
Warning : This article contains spoilers for Doctor Who ’s 60th - anniversary special , " The Giggle . "
RTD pulled together an extremely entertaining sixtieth day of remembrance special , but his originalDoctor Whocompanion return estimate for “ The Giggle ” would ’ve hurt the instalment . TheDoctor Who60th anniversary especial , “ The Giggle ” brought back beloved companions Mel and Donna . Mel last appear onscreen during the first time of year of Sylvester McCoy ’s Seventh Doctor . Donna leftDoctor Whounder the dissembling that she could never come back because the Doctor ’s regenerative energy from the Metacrisis would kill her if she used it . As such , the income tax return of these companions was both satisfying and a pleasant surprisal .
These were n’t the only characters RTD considered bestow back at theending ofDoctor Who ’s 60th day of remembrance particular , “ The Giggle . ” According to the sequence commentary on the BBC iPlayer , RTD in the beginning design to land back Steven Taylor . Rather than have him look in a conventional agency , Steven would be disguise as a giant moo-cow who works at UNIT.When the Toymaker appeared , he would skip into action , ready to fight . There is some logical system in RTD ’s melodic theme since Steven was the First Doctor ’s fellow when they fought the Toymaker before . However , the showrunner ultimately was correct to bring down the idea .
RTD Was Right To Drop Steven Returning To Doctor Who As A Cow
IfDoctor Who ’s sixtieth anniversary special let in the Steven cow , it would ’ve hurt the overall impingement of the episode . This show has never shy off from being kitschy and goofy , but there ’s a fine telephone line between lightheaded and cockeyed . Doctor Who ’s “ The Giggle ” already includes theToymaker ’s Spice Girls musical numberand a tool show with overdone storytelling . A moo-cow work at a desk in UNIT on top of all that would ’ve verge on derisory but making them into Steven would ’ve been too far . It would ’ve made the episode seemlike a sendup ofDoctor Whorather than an prescribed episode .
Plus , RTD ’s cow idea would ’ve diminished the encroachment of Steven ’s return . While many of the episode from the First Doctor ’s geological era are missing , what ’s uncommitted render Steven as a complex and interesting character . He has n’t appear onscreen in 58 old age , so there ’s an teemingness of metre to account for if bringing him back . Steven deserve a better plot line than haphazardly being a moo-cow .
Despite fan concerns , Millie Gibson only doing one season of Doctor Who is a rule , rather than an exclusion , as these classic associate prove .
Steven’s Doctor Who Return Could Have Worked (But Not Like That)
While the moo-cow plot line did n’t form , there is still potential in the melodic theme of bring Steven back toDoctor Who . The last thing name about Steven in theDoctor WhoTV show – he ’s appear many times in the novels and audio dramas – is thatUNIT convey him to the Black Archive to erase his memories , after which he die about living his life presumptively unwitting of anything related to the Dr. . Doctor Whoseason 14could easily bring Steven back by having UNIT furbish up his retentivity .
This is extra plausible now that UNIT has reclaim and become stronger than ever . Steven could go on an risky venture with Ncuti Gatwa ’s Fifteenth Doctor or avail unit of measurement fight off an alien attack inDoctor Who . These options for bring back Steven would be meet for a character of his significance . Additionally , this could inaugurate fellow traveller from unlike era , including Mel , Donna , Ruby , and Steven . The moral force between these characters across the physician ’s life could be interesting to watch .
