8. Historical Fixed Point
I know what you're thinking. "What are we even doing with a Musical Theatre picture in a Doctor Who post?" Read on to find out! We all know that the Doctor loves history. Heck, the show was first made as a way to teach history to children. So it wouldnt be surprising if the Doctor were to end up in a historical fixed point, as hes done so many times before? However, hes always been there right before that point (Pompeii), or somehow cheated it (Teselecta, Water on Mars). What if this time he couldnt? Again, this could allow a sense of irony to what the show was meant to be: what it started out as 50 years ago is the death of the Eleventh Doctor. Personally, I would love to see him wounded in an actual battle. Especially around Post-Revolutionary France, if were going back in history (what can I say? Im a Les Miserables fan). If he got caught up in the fights at the Barricade and couldnt leave, and was forced to fight with a gun, no less this would challenge everything the Doctor stands for (fighting, guns, etc.), and leave him in a position where he couldnt leave, he has to stay and be a part of the fixed point. He would get shot, and Clara help him back to the TARDIS before the regeneration. And to add to the idea of a French Revolution idea, many of the roles (that werent played by mega international movie stars) were played by West End actors. It would definitely catch a lot of peoples attention of the Doctor died at the barricade, filled with people who have also died at a barricade.
