Exiled From Earth

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.
