Bit of an odd question here, so allow me to explain.
‘The Web Planet’ has gained something of a reputation for being shoddily made - cameras soaked in vaseline, and Zarbi who walk into said cameras.
Now imagine if they got a redemption in the current era. A huge budget thrown at recreating Vortis and its inhabitants; whole stampedes of Zarbi and swarms of Menoptera!
Are there any villains you think failed the first time round and deserve their redemption?
Continuing the trend of Hartnell villains, I think that the Voord are interesting designs and bringing them back could flesh out their species and their intentions. Another two species I think would be interesting to see come back would be the Rills and the Drahvins from Galaxy 4. I’m not entirely sure how they should be used but I really like Galaxy 4 so seeing them again would be pretty cool!
An honorable mention here would be the Macra because even though they were present in series 3, they were no where near the Macra we see in The Macra Terror. My dream is to get a fully fledged Macra 2 parter with the 15th Doctor where the Macra attempt to control the entirety of Earth.
The Sensorites could work, given that we have the Ood, who are from the same galaxy (they Sensorites are from the Sense Sphere and the Ood from the Ood Sphere).
I’ve also always wanted to see the Draconians return. They have a cool design and they are interesting warmongering political aliens, so they could still work in a modern context.
whilst not failed, I’d love to see The Monk make a return to television. I’ll forever lament the fact we never got that rumoured Matt Berry Monk/12 story
I know it’s already been in the revival, but I would really like to see the Great Intelligence again, but not done so unbelievably flatly that it still manages to be forgettable even when portrayed by two of Britain’s most famous actors.
