Dear Mr. Davies,
Greetings good sir! I know this is a very exciting time for you, so I thank you for taking the time (I hope) to read this proposal. Please know that I have been a fan of your helming of Doctor Who since that very first episode with Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor. I am looking forward to where you are taking the series next, especially with the return of The Toymaker and the debut of Ncuti Gatwa as the next Doctor.
However, Mr, Davies, I am somewhat dismayed that you are apparently not turning some attention toward addressing the matter of "the Timeless Child": by far THE most controversial thing that has happened to the franchise in its entire history.
It's an issue I have devoted maybe too much time toward pondering about. How does Doctor Who regain its sense of original mystery again?
So let me cut to the heart meat of the matter, my good fellow:
I have come up with a solution to the problem of the Timeless Child.
It is simple. It is elegant. It makes The Doctor an entity shrouded in mystery once again.
Here's the kicker: it does NOT invalidate or repudiate the work of your predecessor, Chris Chibnall. It actually BUILDS upon that, in a pretty cool way.
I am presently living in South Carolina, in the United States. Currently I am an aide to students with special learning needs. I have also been a mental health worker, a filmmaker, and technical writer among many other professions. I would not want monetary compensation or even any acclaim, if you might permit me to come to the United Kingdom and offer my assistance. All I want is a chance to bring The Doctor back to his/her/their place of enigma.
Okay, there is ONE thing I would ask for, if you happen to have a spare one around. I would like a full-size Dalek. The classic design from the Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker eras. Because that's the style that most sent me hiding behind the sofa when I first discovered Doctor Who as a child in the 1980s. That would be a very nice conversation piece in my living room.
Well, that is my proposal. If you believe this is something you would be interested in, please feel free to contact me at theknightshift@gmail.com and we can discuss moving forward from there.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. And again, I am most eager to see what you have cooked up for Doctor Who's sixtieth anniversary!
Most sincerely yours,
Christopher Knight

Hope he sees it Chris.Chibnall's entire reign was the worst of the entire series yes even worse than John Nathan-Turner. I'd love to hear how you'd carry out the getting rid of the Timeless Child.
I won't say what my idea is, maybe Davies and his crew will do something like it. I will tease with this though: the plan also involves addressing ALL those "pre-First Doctor" faces that we see in the Tom Baker story "The Brain of Morbius".
Maybe they'll just ignore the Timeless Child bull$#!t from now on. Just like the "Doctor is half-human" we got from the Fox TV movie in 1996. When was the last time anyone referenced THAT? :-P
