"Look inside yourself and you will find the answer." This is exactly the kind of stuff I'm thinking. For a shorter arc name, maybe "The Hunt for Gallifrey." That's what I've been using.

I definitely want to bring closure in Series 11 and 12, just like the show; I always write as if I were producing the actual show. By the Doctor's downfall and then redemption, I meant in Series 11, he's very dark and makes all the wrong choices. Series 12 sees him learning and transforming into more of a wiser individual.

In regards to the Question, I really think I'm gonna have to pull a Moffat...maybe not have the Answer be inaudible, but perhaps cut to a new scene just as the Doctor reveals it, and then show the effects of that revelation. The things to keep in mind about the Doctor's name that you mentioned are things I totally agree with; avoiding fan arguments and preventing the cheating of readers is specifically why I may want to pull a Moffat. The Doctor has said his name cannot be pronounced...then again, "the Doctor lies." Do you have any ideas for circumstances under which he would answer the Question? I want Series 11 and 12 to pull the heartstrings of readers, so perhaps the Doctor has lost so much at this point that he's grown desperate. I don't know...

If there is anything going on with the Time War, it would not be until Series 12 when Gallifrey actually returns. My question then is what about the Silence? Wouldn't they be active again if they caught wind of what the Doctor is up to? The whole reason they exist is to stop the Time War from happening again...maybe this could somehow allow the "Silent Night" episode idea I had to happen, thus justifying their return?

Some other random ideas I had:
 * The companion introduced in Series 12 is somehow time incarnate.
 * Episodes in Series 11 would see the return of the Ice Warriors and Weeping Angels, potentially. Maybe a few Classic Who villains will appear...
