Probably the Craziest Idea you'll ever hear.....

Okay, I have not really started developing this yet but it's just an idea i've had in my head for ages........

Here goes: what do you guys think of a Doctor Who RPG? (http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho - for those who don't know what Doctor Who is)

If I do make this, it will probably be based around the Time War between the new series and the old one. What do you guys think?

EDIT:
Okay, over the past few days I have sort of come up with a bit of a premise.

-It would be him his companion and temporary characters
-It will have some sort of party system, all main chars will be controlled by the player
-It will be centered around the time war

Story So Far:
I will be using my own incarnation of The Doctor (between McGann and Eccelston, as no one knows what happens in the time war). I am thinking of starting off a muffled string of the doctor's memories, these would include some voice overs of Paul McGann (from the movie) and will eventually lead to McGann getting shot by the time lords, this will most probably be because he is "not suitable for war" so they want to change him. From there he will run off and meet the companion, who is going to be called Luna. From there there will be some sort of "revelation" and the doctor will come back, I'm not sure how as this is all I have so far.
 
I love Doctor Who! XD I'm not really sure how an RPG would work, though. Would it just be him and his companion, and temporary characters? Would it a solo action-RPG with his companion being controlled by the AI? Are you making your own doctor, or using a preexisting reincarnation of him (that was created by the show)?

Sorry about all the questions, but I just had them. :)

Okay, I'd be glad you're making the game around the time war since what I've watched of Doctor Who didn't really reveal that much - making me confused. @.@ Is there a particular reason you chose the name, "Luna"? I have a friend named Luna and a character with that last name. XD

I've only seen one reincarnated version of the Doctor, which was David Tennat. I did like that reincarnation of him, though. :)

Good luck on this! ^_^

Well, I guess I just seemed like a good name for a companion.
