The Ood have to be in the next one, don't they?

The Ood have to be in the next one, don't they? It's the next logical choice. If the Silence weren't already being used for UNIT, I think they'd stand a good chance too.

- The Fourth Doctor vs the Midnight entity The thing I loved about Midnight (a definite favourite story of mine) is the fact that we - and The Doctor - knew nothing about the entity before or after the story. In my humblest of views, Midnight should stay entirely un-sequelled and remain an enigma. My choices would be - The Fifth Doctor - The Tochlafane The Sixth Doctor - The Slitheen The Seventh Doctor - the Paradigm Daleks (this dark Doc could have been responsible for their abrupt departure from the Who-niverse. For audio purposes, I seem to recall their voices were deeper than 'normal' Daleks) The Eighth Doctor - The Silence.

But that would, unless it's done incredibly well (which I'd say is very unlikely because, as a writer, to make it good it would take over the whole story and diminish the effectiveness off the Ood), feel forced.

Krillitane Ood Silents more Angels Raxacoricofallapatorians
Ideally:
Five & The Krillitane Six & The Shadow Proclomation Seven & The Ood Eight & The Trees of Cheem
and for early doctors:
Four & Raxacoricofallapatorians Three & The Silence Two & The Weeping Angels One & Susan & the Rings of Akhaten

I think it's inevitable that the Silents will come back one day as antagonists for Eleven. The Kovarian Chapter was one of the more interesting things about Matt Smith's era on the show, IMO.

And I thought it was one of the weakest. I agree. I thought that whole arc promised much but didn't really deliver. Whereas I really like the rest of Matt's tenure. Cheers Tony

And I thought it was one of the weakest. Interesting on the surface at least. I like the idea of a secret organization out to get the Doctor, even if the end result on television wasn't executed particularly well. The Kovarian Chapter could provide BF something to improve upon.

I think there is much more of a story there to be explored & filled out than what we got from the series proper.

Yes they could do that but I feel like they have gone to that well far too many times. It's very often the get-out-of-jail-free card to explain away anything that a past Doctor should not know about his future. Either figure out something different or just leave some things alone.

I think there is much more of a story there to be explored & filled out than what we got from the series proper. The biggest problem I had with the storyline was why? Why were they out to get him? mrperson recently asked the same question in a different thread. In "A Good Man Goes To War" all you know is that they don't like him because he talks, and sometimes he lies. What? I've also heard that they don't like him because his TARDIS blows up. But then I also thought they blow up the TARDIS. (Maybe I'm wrong about that.) Either way it makes no sense. We still don't know why the TARDIS blows up. And if that's why an entire army wants to kill him, wouldn't it be more cost effective in lives and money to just find The Doctor and warn him? I mean, no Timelord wants his/her TARDIS to be destroyed. The entire story-line makes absolutely no sense and there are so many inconsistencies, but so many important things in Eleven's era are linked to it. Not the least of which is the existence of River Song. The problem is, I'm not sure even BF could salvage this one.

Whenever the question of what other new monsters I would like to meet classic Doctors I always suggest - Carrionites (The Witches form The Shakespeare Code)
I think they would work very well on audio.
However for some reason I appear to be in a minority, as they don't often get a mention for some reason.
So for the next box set I hope for
Fourth Doctor and Carrionites Fifth Doctor and The Whisper Men (Great Intelligence) Sixth Doctor and Weeping Angels Seventh Doctor and the Vashta Narada

I don't think i can add to the suggestions as they are all very good, but I'm still hoping for Classic Doctors & New Masters at some point. 5 vs Jacobi, 6 vs Saxon Simm, 7 vs post-EoT Simm and 8 vs Missy. A long way off and highly unlikely.
The opposite may happen sooner, Beevers vs Hurt and MacQueen vs Tennant, that sort of thing.

They would be a good audio option. Of course after Fallen Angels, I think just about anything could be done effectively on audio by Big Finish.

I think a Krillitane is a must. We know that The Doctor has met them on at least one previous occasion. Five vs. the Krillitane would be great.

The Eighth Doctor and the Trees of Cheem would be lovely, but there's not much of a conflict there without something else going on, so they can hardly be the "monster" of the story.
I remain a fan of bringing back * Clockwork robots - this feels like a First Doctor thing, but Sixie could show suitable outrage at their cannibalism of humans * The Family of Blood - though not necessarily the same specific characters from Human Nature * Futurekind - definitely a story for the 7th Doctor * Vashta Nerada - you can just hear Sylvester McCoy saying this over and over, can't you? But I think I'd give the story to the 5th Doctor. * Prisoner Zero * Saturnyans * House - before the pocket universe; I still connect this entity in my mind with the House met in the comics by the 7th Doctor in the Vortex. Not sure whether that was intended by the author. * The Great Intelligence - one of my favorite underused villains in Who, though like the Sontarans, not strictly speaking a "new" monster
