Doctor Who: 10 Best Modern Villains

1. The Weeping Angels

weeping Of course the Weeping Angels win. Statues when you€™re looking at them, but capable of moving at ludicrous speeds when you€™re not. They will blast you back in time and steal the energy of your spent life to feed themselves, but the real beauty of the concept is that they could be absolutely anywhere. How many statues do you see in a day? And how many of them moved? None probably, but would you notice subtle changes over time? Before it€™s too late and you wake up in the forties! The Angels can also move freely in the dark and can affect lighting, which gives them a nice psychological advantage over us feeble humans too. When we are introduced to them, it is only through Sally Sparrow that we find out that the Angels have already got to the Doctor and anything that can beat the Doctor has done pretty well in villainy terms in our book. Although they sort of get diluted with use the Angels are a brilliant villain and it is easy to see why they have been brought out to play more than once. Everywhere has statues. Everywhere has Angels. Best Quotes: Doctor: €œDon't blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast. Faster than you can believe. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't blink. Good Luck.€ Larry: "The angels have the phonebox," that's my favourite. I've got that on a T-shirt.€ Doctor: €œPeople assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly...timey wimey... stuff.€ Appearances: €œBlink€ €œThe Time of Angels€ €œFlesh and Stone€ €œThe Angels Take Manhatten€
