Doctor Who: 10 Throwaway Lines That Would've Made Great Episodes

2. "The Last Time I Saw Them They Looked Just Like Us But With Really Long Necks"

School Reunion gave us a villain which gained their strength from invading a planet and then ruthlessly shagging all of its inhabitants... so to speak. It€™s weirdly dark about a millimetre below the surface but also a brilliant sci-fi idea, which most things in Doctor Who usually are. However, the Doctor never said how big the necks were. It could be a planet of giraffe people who use giant sweeping motions with their heads to club out opponents. The Doctor materialises on the planet, whereupon the TARDIS is stolen from him, and he has to enact extreme stealth to try and get to the place where it was taken to try and get it back. However, he€™s almost unsuccessful because they€™re so good at the €œseek€ bit of hide and seek. The episode ends with the whole situation inverted when he eventually gets his TARDIS back. He broadcasts to the whole planet that he€™s a Time Lord (which they were shown to be scared of) and they all try to hide. But, obviously, none of them can.
