You know how new companion Belinda is banging on about getting home in the
trailers?

Well RTD has revealed that this season the Doctor CAN'T return to modern day
Earth for some reason.

Also that he found it hard as for him, constantly visiting contemporary
Earth is an "essential" part of the show.

Perhaps he should review the eras of the First and Second Doctors - and even
the rest of Who before he first took the reins.

After the first episode, I think the First Doctor returns just three times -
Planet of Giants (which hardly counts as modern Earth is essentially an
alien world to the crew), a few moments at the end of The Massacre, purely
to pick up Dodo,and The War Machines. So really, only once.

The Second Doctor has - The Underwater Menace (technically only, as the
setting is Atlantis), The Faceless Ones, half of Evil of the Daleks, The
Enemy of the World, The Web of Fear, Fury From the Deep and The Invasion.
Which sounds like a lot more but really it's only 5 and a half out of 21
stories.

The Third Doctor is a special case but even he gets away for 9 out of 24
stories.

The Fourth - 8 modern Earh stories out of 43, and I'm including Shada.

The Fifth - half of Time Flight, half of Arc of Infinity. The Awakening,
Mawdryn Undead, Resurrection of the Daleks, and the very beginning of
Planet of Fire. Call it 4 out of 20 stories.

The Sixth - half of Attack of the Cybermen. Half of The Two Doctors.
Essentially, 1 out of 11 stories.

Thee Seventh - Delta and the Bannermen, Silver Nemesis, Battlefield, half of
Survival. 3.5 out of 12 stories.

Sounds lame.

Also that he found it hard as for him, constantly visiting contemporary
Earth is an "essential" part of the show.

Russell T Davies is well past his sell by date if he thinks that should
be an essential part of the series.

He's afraid to return to contemporary Earth because Donald Trump would
have him arrested, cancelled, and dissected. Then he'd hand his remains
over to Putin.

Perhaps he should review the eras of the First and Second Doctors - and
even
the rest of Who before he first took the reins.

The Fourth - 8 modern Earh stories out of 43, and I'm including Shada.

Robot, Terror of the Zygons, The Android Invasion, Pyramids of Mars in
an alternative present, The Seeds of Doom, The Hand of Fear, The Image
of Fendahl, The Stones of Blood, City of Death, Shada, the start of The Leisure Hive, Logopolis.

That's 12.

The Fifth - half of Time Flight, half of Arc of Infinity. The Awakening, Mawdryn Undead, Resurrection of the Daleks, and the very beginning of
Planet of Fire. Call it 4 out of 20 stories.

You missed out the start of Castrovalva and the second Doctor and Sarah
Jane and K9 scenes in The Five Doctors.

The Sixth - half of Attack of the Cybermen. Half of The Two Doctors. Essentially, 1 out of 11 stories.

Thee Seventh - Delta and the Bannermen, Silver Nemesis, Battlefield,
half of
Survival. 3.5 out of 12 stories.

Seems The Doctor rarely went back to the 1960s,1970s.
I can think of one story with Matt Smith and Jenna Coleman visiting the
ghost hunters in 1974.
Perhaps worried about crossing own timeline wimeline?
