I love looking at scripts from the actual show; it's really inspiring and actually something I've been doing on my own for a while now since getting into Doctor Who and joining this Wiki. It's not so much how to structure a script that's getting me as what kind of story to tell…

Series 11-13 (the Thirteenth Doctor's era) channels Series 5-7, or at least what those got right. Therefore, I'm thinking that Series 11 needs to open with a story like Series 5's, one that introduces the Thirteenth Doctor, explores his dark and unreliable personality, introduces how desperate he is to find Gallifrey, thus setting up the story arc, and also introduces a companion or two.

On the subject of companions, if I am to channel Matt Smith's era, I feel a male and female will be necessary. Thus I have a guy companion in mind I've tentatively named "James," and a female companion I've tentatively named "Gaby." Gaby is the Doctor's first companion, while James will become part of the TARDIS crew later on. These two need a deep story significance, though…there's a reason the Doctor has met them. There's a reason they are the destined partners of his he takes with him to learn Gallifrey's whereabouts…but what is it?
