Doctor Who: 5 Ways The 12th Doctor's Era Should Be Like The 3rd's (And 1 Way It Shouldn't)

3. Be A Bit More Scientifically-Minded

Doctor Who has never been about the science, but the Doctor himself is a scientist. This was never more visible than during his time as the Third Doctor where, while stuck on Earth, he became a scientific consultant to UNIT and was often seen doing little science experiments. This is something I€™d very much like to see back on the show. We€™ve gotten a lot of the manic, adventure side of the Doctor, but we€™ve very seldom seen what a brilliant scientific mind he has. It would be great to get back to that €“ though I don€™t mean we need to see him running little Mythbusters-style experiments every episode, but a few bits here and there would be greatly appreciated.
