It would be nice if he just wandered around taking a general interest in things and being kind to strangers for a few years.

 Yes exactly.  That is what got me into the show in the first place when I started watching on PBS.  I like these other shows but what made Doctor Who stand out was that unlike Star Trek he wasn't on a mission and unlike the XFiles there were not plots being hatched around him that he had no choice but to become involved with. The Doctor was just an average guy(for a timelord)who wondered around and when he saw someone in trouble helped them because it was the right thing to do not because some super being was following him everywhere and setting him up.

I would love to see a return to the classic adventure format because I mean it I am so burnt out on this every season having a super villain thing that I am not sure I will keep watching. It's so played out and it has been done in every way it can be done.

What was fresh a decade ago is now stale and I want something new.
