Recently Doctor Who introduced the "sonic shades." A cheap pair of sunglasses we're suppose to think are cool because "they're wearable technology." This is just the latest in a number of things that are starting to annoy fans.
The "sonic shades" are dumb, that's no lie. We, the undersigned, want the sonic screwdriver back.
As far as wearable technology goes, then we want back the First Doctor's signet ring. It is much "cooler" than a pair of Ray Bans and is a part of classic Who-lore.
Besides that, we're also tired of every single companion being a 20-something 21st century earth girl that people then "ship" with the Doctor. It's time for more variety in companions like there was in the past. Robots, men, aliens, companions over 40, other Gallifreyians, etc. If Gallifrey can come back there's no reason there can't be Time Lords and Time Ladies besides The Master/Mistress who escaped being time locked. Also, there's no reason people like Bellows (the older lady from Last Christmas who turned out to be in a wheelchair) couldn't be a companion. She might even be better at taking on Daleks than others.
And let's not forget Susan Foreman, the Doctor's granddaughter. There's no reason she couldn't be free to be found by the Doctor.
Finally, a return of more classic villains such as The Celestial Toymaker and The Great Vampires.

i would like it if you could bring back the sonic screwdriver and say long live the sonic screwdriver!( and other changes to make to doctor who.)
BRING IT BACK. I haven't yet seen the new season, but the minute I heard from fellow whovians, I was enraged. The second I heard there was a petition-I thought "Where do I sign" and I went looking for it. I wasn't a huge fan of Capaldi to begin with (9 was my first, 10 is my favorite and 11 was cool)--it's not that he's young or that hes not all in love with the companion, its how he goes about being the Doctor. He was so distant in his first season, from Clara, from humans, everything. When he left Clara behind on multiple occasions, it was beyond irritating. It's like he didn't even want to be the Doctor, only fighting the Daleks and Cybermen to save himself trouble later, but he cared just enough about Clara and humanity not to let them die.The Sunglasses make it worse-- on a preference level, Capaldi doesn't look good in sunglasses (insert mid-life crisis joke here), and sorry but someone of his age really doesn't care about wearable tech, rather preferring things he knows and loves. On a practical level, his "sonic screwdrivers ruin your jacket" thing doesn't even make sense--where would he put them when not wearing them? Certainly not on top of his head (I hope). On a plot level-- River Song had a screwdriver that the doctor gave her, presumably when he died. Screwdriver does not equal sunglasses. Now lets think about other aspects of the shades vs the screwdriver. When in a fight, the Doctor at least has a good grip on the screwdriver. People don't seem to realize how irritatingly easy it is for sunglasses to fall of if you look down, much less in any kind of fight. For those of you who may reply that I got sunglasses too big--maybe I did. But how is there any guarantee that the next Doctor (or She-Doctor) won't have a smaller head size than Capaldi? I doubt the TARDIS will spit out a new pair each time, if she realizes how utterly stupid they are. Honestly, it feels like the Doctor isn't even the Doctor anymore, which shows that Moffat has gone WAY t
LONG LIVE THE SONIC SCREWDRIVER!!!!!!!!
To be fair, I don't expect this to actually work, but hey, it's worth a shot.
