The Menacing Foes of the Doctor: A Look at the Best Villains in Doctor Who History

Doctor Who has been a staple of British television since its inception in 1963. The show has always been known for its imaginative stories and memorable characters, especially the villains. From the Daleks to the Cybermen, Doctor Who has had some of the most iconic villains in television history. In this article, we will take a look at the best villains in Doctor Who history.

  1. The Daleks

The Daleks are perhaps the most iconic of all Doctor Who villains. Created by writer Terry Nation, the Daleks first appeared in the second-ever episode of Doctor Who in 1963. The Daleks are a race of genetically engineered mutants who reside inside mechanical suits. They are known for their harsh, robotic voices and their catchphrase, “Exterminate!”

The Daleks have appeared in many Doctor Who episodes throughout the show’s history, and they have been involved in some of the show’s most memorable moments. They are often depicted as ruthless and cunning, and their goal is usually to exterminate all non-Dalek life in the universe. The Daleks are also notable for their distinctive appearance, which has remained largely unchanged over the years.

  1. The Master

The Master is the Doctor’s arch-nemesis, and he has been a recurring villain in Doctor Who since the 1970s. The Master is a Time Lord like the Doctor, and he is often depicted as the opposite of the Doctor. While the Doctor is compassionate and empathetic, the Master is cold and calculating.

The Master has had several different incarnations over the years, and he has been played by several different actors. Some of his most memorable appearances include “The Deadly Assassin” (1976), “The Keeper of Traken” (1981), and “The Sound of Drums” (2007). The Master is known for his intelligence and his ability to manipulate those around him, and he is often portrayed as a charismatic and charming villain.

  1. The Cybermen

The Cybermen are another iconic Doctor Who villain. They first appeared in 1966 and have since become a recurring villain in the show. The Cybermen are a race of cyborgs who were once human. They have replaced many of their body parts with mechanical components, and they have no emotions or empathy.

The Cybermen are often depicted as a formidable foe for the Doctor. They are relentless and single-minded in their pursuit of their goals, and they will stop at nothing to achieve them. The Cybermen are also notable for their distinctive appearance, which has changed over the years to reflect advances in special effects technology.

  1. The Weeping Angels

The Weeping Angels are one of the most terrifying Doctor Who villains. They first appeared in 2007 and have since become a fan favourite. The Weeping Angels are a race of alien creatures that resemble statues. They can only move when no one is looking at them, and they are capable of sending their victims back in time by touching them.

The Weeping Angels are often portrayed as a silent, creeping menace. They are almost impossible to defeat, as they are so quick and deadly. The Weeping Angels are also known for their haunting appearance and their ability to instil fear in those who encounter them.

  1. The Silence

The Silence is another iconic Doctor Who villain. They first appeared in 2011 and have since become fan favourites. The Silence is a mysterious alien race that can erase themselves from a person’s memory. They are known for their eerie appearance, which includes a mouthless face and tall stature.

The Silence is often portrayed as a shadowy organisation that is manipulating events behind the scenes. They are capable of great feats of technology and are almost impossible to defeat. The Silence is also notable for its ability to erase itself from a person’s

Dalek tells humans to stay home

A Dalek has been spotted ordering people to stay indors.

Most of the UK is currently on a government-ordered lockdown as part of a national effort to save lives, although there are some members of the public who’ve been disregarding the guidelines this weekend, due to unseasonabily warm weather.

A video posted on Twitter has shown a Dalek, roaming the street in a countryside village.

As people have been so blatantly flouting the guidelines, I think we need Nicholas Briggs to redub this video with the official voice of the Daleks.
