Nerd³ Interviews Steven Moffat

In a fantastic interview with YouTube star Nerd³, showrunner Steven Moffat has revealed that the Doctor Who team are aware of Peter Capaldi's past appearances in Doctor Who and Torchwood and that they are not going to ignore the fact.

Very interesting stuff. I highly recommend you watch the full interview.

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: Hoix

The Hoix are monsters that the Doctor has encountered twice: once in Love & Monsters and again in The Pandorica Opens as part of The Alliance although the latter was very brief. A Hoix also made an appearance in the Torchwood episode Exit Wounds.

They are humanoids, have brown skin and sharp teeth and according to the Torchwood files, they live to eat. The Hoix are not very intelligent and various chemicals have various effects on them.

Unfortunately there is no featured scene for this monster due to it's lack of screen time.
