10 Doctor Who Revival Era Monsters And Villains That Deserve To Return

10. Pting

There is a soft spot for the Pting. Is it because the episode evokes memories of the Twilight Zone episode (and Simpsons adaptation) Danger at 20,000 ft? Or because the monster is a slightly more evil version of Stitch from Lilo and Stitch?

Either way, the Pting’s ambiguous background could make a great starting point for some further exploration.

What if a Pting got loose on the Tardis? There were a duo of Tardis themed episodes in the Smith era - The Doctor’s Wife and Journey to the Centre of the Tardis - and the Pting could lead to some more exploration of part of Doctor Who that is kept fairly mysterious to the audience.

A downside of the Whittaker era is that there isn't actually a lot of time spent in the Tardis, so this could re-balance that in a big way.

Or how about an origins story? There are likely more than one Pting, but how did they come to be floating around space causing havoc. Maybe they were a genetic experiment gone wrong, something the Doctor and co stumble upon and inadvertently end up unleashing on the galaxy.

'Genesis of the Pting' anyone?
