Top 5 Spin-off Villains I Want To See In Doctor Who

Over the years, Doctor Who has spawned three spin-offs - Torchwood, The Sarah Jane Adventures and the failed K9 & Company. They have had lots of villains who have never appeared in Doctor Who so I'm going to be listing five of those villains that I'd like to see in Doctor Who...

#5. Weevils












Alright, these things had a cameo in The Pandorica Opens as part of The Alliance but I don't consider that to be a "real" appearance considering the amount of others there. They're considerably more violent than the typical Doctor Who villain so that might be a problem but seriously, they'd make hiding behind the sofa cool again!

#4. Androvax / The Veil













Androvax is another one that's been mentioned in Doctor Who (Pond Life). He is a Veil (a species capable of taking over bodies) who appeared in two episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures. I think it would be interesting to see him take over The Doctor's body...

#3. Bilis Manger












Now, this guy is the creepiest human villain ever. Actually, he might be the creepiest villain ever. He's appeared twice in Torchwood and we still have no idea who he is. Maybe it's best that way, maybe it's not. Still, after what he did in End of Days, I think the chances of seeing him in a family show are zero.

#2. The 456



















Forget Bilis Manger, there are MUCH creepier things in the world... And I mean MUCH creepier! The Doctor should be very, very, very happy he hasn't bumped into them so far and that's all I'm going to say.

#1. The Trickster












The Tenth Doctor has met this thing before in The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith but that wasn't a Doctor Who episode so let's just leave it at that.. All three SJA episodes that The Trickster has appeared in are just as good as, let's say, The Empty Child, Midnight or Turn Left. Yes, that good! Despite SJA being targeted at a younger audience, this thing is really menacing and he honestly feels like a Doctor Who villain. Gareth Roberts, you did an amazing job!

Of course, this is just my opinion and you're free to disagree with it. I'd love to know which spin-off villains you want to see in Doctor Who!

Featured Villain: Graske

The Graske are small humanoids who have had various appearances in the Doctor Who universe, appearing in the 2005 game Attack of the Graske, the minisode Music of the Spheres and a cameo in The End of Time. They have also appeared in various episodes of Doctor Who spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures - Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane?, The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith and something with blue skin that looks like a Graske but is really called a Groske appeared in Death of the Doctor.

One Graske called Krislok fell for the Trickster's trap and ended up as a slave.

In Sarah Jane's Alien Files, Mr. Smith said the Graske are all similar in many ways, which made him think that they might be a clone species like the Sontarans.
