5. Second Chances
If youve read John Leekleys 1994 American Who bible (and if you have, youll be suppressing your gag reflex now), youll know he was not exactly charting an original course. All of Leekleys storylines are clumsily reworked classic episodeshis Talons of Weng-Chiang in modern New York would have been particularly stupid. But this cuts both ways. Sure, we dont need another Talons, Human Nature or Blink. But maybe some of the series less successful hours could gain new life. We could see the Fear Her as the Twilight Zone pastiche Matthew Graham intended. Any season finale you care to name could benefit from a hefty rewrite. And if the Americans cant do Daleks in Manhattan properly, no one can (warning: no one may be able to).
