    Should RTD finish 'Shada'?

    Basically, 'Shada' is an unfinished episode from the Tom Baker era that was later adapted and finished as a web-animation with the 8th Doctor.

    What do you think? Should RTD take 'Shada' and adapt it into a finished 10th Doctor episode for season 30?

    Well, not RTD himself but Steven Moffat, who is part of RTDs team, and has wrote some of the best episodes since the show was revived.
    Teselecta: "Silence will fall when the question is asked."

    Doctor: "And what is the question?"

    Teselecta: "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"

    Doctor: " *Brainfart* ".

    What is the episode about?

    Right now, I'll say no. I'm happy with RTD and how he has been integrating classic and new storylines without needing to retread an unfinished episode.

      It all depends on what Douglas Adams' estate has to say as he wrote the majority of it, I don't know the ins and outs of who finished it but Adams' family are usually pretty good about his stuff. Everyone should see or read Douglas Adams' work at least once

            Much of Shada was put into Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Angency, like Professor for example. Good book that all Douglas Adams fans should read.

            I personally think Shada should be left alone, it just wouldn't be the same without Tom Baker and the other great actors they had. I actually enjoyed the release they did with Baker narrating the parts that didn't get filmed. It's one of my favorite stories even unfinished.

              I dunno, the Paul McGann version was rather good.

                  Really? I'd love to hear that. Wonder if there's any chance of getting it in the US. *sigh* Probably have to wait for a release.
