5. CGI / Animation
Animating Doctor Who is something of a popular topic at present with the recent release of Reign of Terror including animated episodes and the forthcoming release of Tenth Planet also with a reconstructed missing episode. This has previously been used for The Invasion (pictured) and is better than not having episodes at all given the sound track is the original one taken off air and captured on tape. The BBC has also animated the Tenth Doctor before with The Infinite Quest and Dreamland. As to CGI the technology is not quite there yet - while it may well be that the 60th anniversary has a lot of computer generated Doctors I feel that the best we might get this year could be an animated show for younger viewers that ties into the main event. We shall see but I feel the chances are probably around 20%.
