Doctor Who: 10 Myths And Legends That Should Be Explored

10. Faeries

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqwSnHB_n8E The Torchwood episode Small Worlds (2006) has already done this but we€™ve had the Weevils and the Uvodni from The Sarah Jane Adventures cross over to Doctor Who so there€™s not really anything relating to canon preventing it from happening, and there€™s already a precedent for it. The only problem is that the Faeries might be a bit too violent. Forget the sweetness and light image of fairies completely because the fairies of the Whoniverse are monstrous. Try to hurt one of the children that they select as one of their own and they will kill you brutally. The death toll in their sole Torchwood appearance stands at a convicted paedophile choked with flower petals, a harmless elderly woman being drowned by a localised rainstorm, and an abusive stepfather having a Faerie€™s fist rammed down his throat. These guys don€™t mess around. But while Torchwood had no choice but to surrender a child to the Faeries for fear of them destroying the world, the Doctor could have more luck. The Time Lord and the Fair Folk might just be evenly matched and they could even be enough of a challenge for the Doctor to push him to his limit and possibly make him lose. The violence issue may be possible to counteract though since Doctor Who doesn€™t always shy away from violence (some episodes really push the boundaries of what's acceptable) and if the script is written well enough, then any deaths caused by the Faeries can be done pretty cleanly and discretely.
