A background arc for series 12 would be a great idea. Are you going to be doing a modern story setting for the series 11 opener or will it be a historical or even a future story? There are many things you can use but without a companion it may make it hard for the Doctor to 'bounce off' anyone so to speak to show his character. Perhaps a character for that two parter that makes him want to be alone afterwards and act more vain than previous incarnations.

There should definitely be some random comedy in the opener as that what both Smith adn Capaldi had and I feel like it takes the edge off so to speak and will allow for the audience to easier relate and enjoy the new Doctor. A tonal change needs to happen during the opening episode from perhaps a lighter episode to it's climax which may be darker. If you want to have a future Earth episode perhaps the Silurians who are due a return in 1000 years and it would be interesting to see the consequences of that.

How will you portray the Doctor within this series? Will he still be the lonely traveller wondering around in his box just going on adventures or will he be attempting to get somewhere and enjoy the isolation from others?

Will the Cybermen be used in series 11 or 12? They seem to have regular appearances and I know that you may not use many new villains but will there be any new villains? It would be good for some new aspects to come from each season. I feel like to get the Daleks right is a really hard task as they are just metal cans and may be hard to write for as you will not have their visual presence which is one of the best parts of the Daleks. Sorry for the late reply.
