Fantastic list! I strongly agree specially on the Marshal from ‘The Mutants’, Eliot Sardick from ‘A Christmas Carol’, and Solomon from ‘Dinosaurs on a Spaceship’. Absolutely despicable, petty men. They make me remember that line from Data that goes ‘You are capable of great sadism and cruelty. Interesting. No redeeming qualities. I think you should be destroyed.’
You bring up Star Trek. I’ve got two words. “My Child.” DS9 fans will understand.
My uncle lives in London and he absolutely hated him 
Oh anyone with common sense hated him, horrible man
Star Trek has so many asshole villains, but she’s truly special. Such a fake, saccharine, condescending tone in every single line, I wanted to… let Kira strangle her.
We can take turns kicking his ass 
Wait, Leela’s twink boyfriend Andred??? Man, I really gotta listen to Gallifrey as soon as possible.
Yesssssss listen to gallifrey
Yes you doooooo hehe
There are also the Audio > Audio Club threads for the first three series. You have no excuse (except maybe if you don’t have access yet).
I absolutely agree with you on Bennet. Also Max Capricorn as the embodiment of capitalism!
That’s awful; but I feel the point of that episode is that everyone on Starship UK was complicit, including Amy. Hawthorn is no more worse than anyone else; and at least he remembers while everybody else chooses to forget, due to the way their society is structured.
Think someone mentioned this before but Lindy Pepperbean, absolutely a villain and just a terrible character
He was the one in charge and the one who set up the whole thing though.
Ah, but to him, he was choosing between torturing one creature and killing millions of people. That turned out to be a false dichotomy, but he didn’t know that. I don’t think any of us in that situation could choose the latter.
And he didn’t set up the whole thing—he was obeying Liz 10’s orders. Plus Starship UK is at least two hundred years old by the events of The Beast Below. He’s only the latest in a long line of people Omelas-ing a star whale. Hawthorne wasn’t the problem—the structure of the society itself was.
The villain I hate the most is Me, I have self-esteem issues /j
For an actual serious answer, the brother from Demons of Punjab is the first to come to mind. While I think there are other villains who have a bigger negative impact on people’s lives, this dude did it all on his own. There was no spacey intervention, no alien helping him; he just destroyed a happy family, and murdered his own brother out of pure bigotry, and that’s messed up.
Honorary mention goes to Chris Chibnall for destroying Gallifrey yet again
John Hart 
He’s just a total creep with no endearing characteristics to me.
I read that as John Hurt and almost had a heart attack
I need a rewatch then. My memory has him being the main bad guy. Actually, a quick wiki search was what I needed. I’ll correct to “The Government of Starship UK.”
I’m still not going to say it falls on the people. The voting was full of propaganda and such to influence people to vote forget, and those who didn’t were fed to the creature.
Honestly it’s odd that Liz X isn’t really thought of as more of a villain. While it wasn’t exactly her plan, she’s the one who gave them orders to keep doing it and wipe her memory and essentially “clear her of responsibility.”
I remember getting confused by him and Jack’s sudden kiss scene , then they started fighting😭
