I have read somewhere that the nameless internet "they" felt that the show was too Rose-centered, so I could see writing a new companion who kind of takes a back seat, but still.

My dream team Doctor Who / Torchwood writers would be Davies, Moffat, Matt Jones (because The Impossible Planet was brain-eatingly cool) and... okay, Gareth Roberts, on a trial basis, because The Shakespeare Code showed serious potential.

Man, are you lucky enough to live in a tamale-selling location? We have terrible freezer-section tamales, and bags of Maseca, and that is it. Thus the cooking experiments.
