    Default The New Series ... in 2028 ...

    Okay here's the scenario.

    It's 2028 and you're sitting down to watch repeats of the Eccleston/Tennant New Series on UK Platinum, besides you is a 10 year old who's never seen this era of Doctor Who before.

    What areas of the current series do you expect to date so badly they will need explanation?

    -----------------

    For me, I expect by 2028, people won't really know what Bluetooth was. Although maybe it will be remembered fondly in the same way as 8-track.

    Or Labour government!

    The 2012 Olympics setting of Fear Her will, I suspect, look a bit dated, much like Battlefield does today.

    Health & safety will probably have banned edible ball bearings by then as well, so that'll definitely need explaining. Also, I expect search engines will have moved on so far that what we see Rose type "Blue Box" into in Rose will probably need clarifying too.

    The Wheelie Bin is Rose will need a bit of explaining as we will all be using edible packaging!
