It would be nice. However despite the fact it being a really good story in my opinion, i don't think it would be as visually impressive as a Dalek or Cyberman story.

I would imagine we would be more likely to see The Daleks' Masterplan*, Evil of the Daleks or The Wheel in Space.

I have no idea though, only speculating.

*Unless they are working on this now it seems unlikely this would be released any time soon as 11 episodes would need to be animated.

Falling ratings, typecasting, BBC woes: why did Peter Capaldi quit Doctor Who?

I know it's stating the bleeding obvious, but the BBC has always had a very rocky relationship with Dr Who. It's pretty clear now that the BBC's trial balloon with Chibnall at the helm will be 100% make or break. As the article stated in the Telegraph, Chibnall is also known for creating complex and convoluted plots like Steven Moffat.

I suppose one of the questions will be, who will Chibnall ask to write the first series of this new re-boot series?. The thing I dread the most is a woman playing the part. I know others say on some forums "not a chance", but the BBC are desperate not to blow away millions pounds on a show that they obviously feel isn't performing right in the ratings. Maybe the BBC will let Chibnall select a female Doctor? Just to shock the hardcore fandom and bring a much needed, fresh publicity worldwide, even though Dr Who is still sailing strong on BBC America. Big selling point.

The BBC want the good old days back when dear Russ was show runner. Can the BBC and Chibnall replicate those days again. It seems a tall order to me, but we'll have to wait and see what happens once Capaldi regenerates.

Finished Genesis of the Daleks one of the most famous stories that also introduced us to their creator Davros. Even at 6 episodes it fly's along.

You're right it's near perfect. The only two slightly cheap bits are the clam monsters and the episode ending where Sarah definitely falls down the outside of the rocket silo but it's shown at the start of episode 3 to be the inside.

The whole Sarah bit was like those 40s serials were they would end with a cliffhanger and low and behold next week it was totally different situation, and yes those clam monsters were pretty cheesy.

Those forties serials such as Flash Gordon, yes, they sum it up perfectly.
