Class: 5 More Doctor Who Spin-Offs We Need To See

1. U.N.I.T.

The Eighth Doctor
BBC

With Torchwood unlikely to return, a show focused on an organization almost as old as Doctor Who itself is just what's needed to fix the lack of an adult-oriented show since Torchwood seemingly ended with 2011's Miracle Day series.

U.N.I.T. could be the BBC's answer to The X-Files in the same way Torchwood was. Something violent, intelligent and a reflection of the modern world that U.N.I.T. has to operate in would be the perfect way to produce the kind of long-spanning series that have done so well for channels like AMC or HBO. Rather than having a "monster of the week", it would be refreshing to see each season play out one long storyline in they way that series 3 and 4 of Torchwood did.

U.N.I.T. should keep anything to do with the Doctor on the sidelines and instead focus on the science, military and politics that the organization seems to be wrapped up in. Unlike Torchwood, they are not all about the extraterrestrial and the paranormal- they are an agency that has to be held accountable, and is known to the public. We get to find out how that affects their decision-making and the missions they carry out.

Like Agents of SHIELD and Torchwood, the show can have a cast of brand-new characters but bring in established characters like Kate Stewart or Osgood from the main show, and feature famous aliens like Zygons... or maybe even The Master?
