Ongoing References...
- [OLD] The Daleks - One of the Doctor's greatest enemies from the old series [see Foes: Daleks] and the new. They have attempted to invade Earth a number of times, each time being defeated, as stated in broadcasts by the Doctor, by the Monks. You may here claims that the Doctor helped defeat them, but who would know better? The Doctor himself or the thought criminal telling you these lies?
- [OLD] Cybermen - Long term enemy of the Doctor in the old series [See Foes: Cybermen] and the new. An advantage of having the Monks on Earth is that we know the Cybermen will not be returning any time soon.
- [NEW] Weeping Angels - Recurring villains who first appeared in "Blink" (Doctor Who (2005) Series 3) and also appeared on Earth in "The Angels Take Manhattan" (Doctor Who (2005) Series 7).
- [NEW] Weeping Angels - Recurring villains who first appeared in "Blink" (Doctor Who (2005) Series 3) and also appeared on Earth in "The Angels Take Manhattan" (Doctor Who (2005) Series 7).
- [NEW] Nardie - Nardole, River Song's assistant in the "The Husbands of River Song" (Doctor Who (2005) 2015 Christmas Special). In that episode is head was removed and used by the robot body of the Hydroflax. In his second appearance, ("The Return of Doctor Mysterio" (Doctor Who (2005) 2016 Christmas Special)) Nardole noted: "You cut me out of Hydroflax because you were worried you'd be lonely". "The Pilot" (Doctor Who (2005) Series 10) suggests he now has some robot parts, although in "The Pyramid at the End of the World" (Doctor Who (2005) Series 10) that he is close enough to human (his lungs being purchased cheaply).
- [OLD] Regeneration - Regeneration is a way that Time Lords cheat death by changing form (or just do it for a change). He regenerated a number of times in classic series [see The Doctor's Regenerations] and the new series and other Time Lords have been shown regenerating.
- [NEW] The Vault - The Quantum Fold Chamber has appeared or been mentioned ever since "The Pilot" (Doctor Who (2005) Series 10), apart from the previous episode. It was named for the first time in "Extremis" (Doctor Who (2005) series 10) and its contents confirmed to be...
- [OLD] Missy - The named used by the current body of the Master, the Doctor's childhood friend and mortal enemy. [Foes: The Master]
- [NEW] Last of the Time Lords - An increasingly inaccurate description of the Doctor. It was assumed to be true of the Doctor from "Rose" (Doctor Who (2005) series 1) until the Master reappeared "Utopia" (Doctor Who (2005) series 3). It was true-ish from when the Master dies in "Last of the Time Lords" (Doctor Who (2005) series 3), until he returned from the dead in "The End of Time (Part 1)" (Doctor Who (2005) Christmas special 2009). Later it was discovered that the Time Lords survived in a pocket dimension ("Day of the Doctor" (Doctor Who (2005) 50th Anniversary special)), and ended up in the far future ("Hell Bent" (Doctor Who (2005) series 9)).
From the Part 1...
- [1ST] The Monks - Humanity's friends and companions. Memory criminals would have you believe that they first appear (in VR form) in "Extremis" (Doctor Who (2005) series 10) and first appeared in reality in "The Pyramid at the End of the World" (Doctor Who (2005) series 10) and have only been in charge for six months. If anyone tells you these lies, please report them immediately.
