Doctor Who: 10 Villains Who Should Return For Russell T Davies' New Series
3. The Nightmare Man
From the Dream Lord to the Eternals, Doctor Who has several villains who thrive on negative thoughts and bad dreams. These stories are among the most compelling of their respective series, offering a deeper exploration of the Doctor and their companions by literally getting inside their heads.
The RTD era's take on this idea was the Nightmare Man, who appeared in the Sarah Jane Adventures story of the same name. A psychological threat rather than a physical one, he created nightmares for his victims and fed off the resulting energy, making Earth - and its billions of residents - quite the playground for him to work in.
Though the Nightmare Man does come off as cheap and cheesy when revisiting him today, he'd be getting a modern update and a much bigger budget in Series 14, so that's all taken care of. Just imagine what RTD could do with an episode like Amy's Choice or Can You Hear Me - you just know that it'd be something special.
Plus, any excuse for Julian Bleach - Davros himself - to chew the scenery is fine with us!
