10 Doctor Who Villains Who Should Return For Russell T Davies' New Series 14
10. The Headless Monks
Steven Moffat had an issue with
introducing cool villains and never following up on them during his tenure on
the show. Villains like The Smilers, The Dream Lord and The Shakri are all
examples of this.
However, one of the biggest examples of this is The Headless Monks. After featuring in A Good Man Goes To War during Series 6, The Church Of The Headless Monks was never explored again during New Who.
The design of the Monks is awesome. The black cloaks and the laser swords make them look incredibly imposing and they play into the horror aspect of the show. This is played up excellently when they kill Dorium Maldovar on Demon's Run.
It would be nice to see the Monks make a return in Davies' new series. Maybe The Doctor could explore the church of the Monks and their home planet. No matter how The Headless Monks return, they would prove to be a worthy adversary for the 14th Doctor.
