10 Doctor Who Villains Who Should NEVER Return

10. The Abzorbaloff

The Abzorbaloff was a wild card in Doctor Who's pantheon of monsters and villains. Only appearing Love and Monsters, the monster was actually designed by a young fan as part of a competition run by Blue Peter. Viewers were invited to create their own Doctor Who monsters and send them in, with the winners' design being used in the actual show.

Played by Peter Kay, the Abzorbaloff's key characteristic was that it literally "absorbed" it's victims into its body, but the victims themselves were fully conscious and aware- but incapable of escaping. Scary, right? It could have been. Peter Kay was arguably a more menacing character in human form, but the big reveal of his true nature was more laughable than frightening.

It didn't help that the episode's tone was a bit all over the place and inconsistent, with the narrative following Elton Pope played by Marc Warren, who had joined a club made up of people who had all had previous encounters with the Doctor.

Doctor Who has had some quirky monsters before, but seeing Peter Kay run around in a big, green fat suit is not something that needs to make a return.
