What New/Classic monsters do you want to see in the New Doctor Who

[Davros]

I want to see a return of the Ogrons.

I want to see a return of the Ogrons.

In some ways, it's odd they've not already been back: relatively cheap make-up, a back plot which mean they could be working as hired thugs for pretty much anybody, and as such they could fill out Pandorica-style crowd scenes very nicely.

But... you'd probably have to pay Louis Marks for them every time they appeared (or maybe Paul Bernard, or maybe... which might be another complication, as there does seem to be some uncertainty as to when the actual idea of the Ogrons came into the rewrites of Ghost Hunters into Day of the Daleks... in the original script, ISTR, they were mutated guard dogs who'd become vaguely humanoid. 200 years of nuclear fall out and selective breeding and all that).

And also, the pattern for returning monsters is that they come back as Radio Times cover stars, with lots of publicity, before becoming supporting players once the costumes exist. So it'd have to be an Ogron story, not a Ogrons working for the Daleks, etc, story. Could work very well (story about how the Ogrons first ended up becoming interstellar mercenaries for hire?), but...

The make-up would hardly be cheap anymore and they'd probably have similar look to the new Silurians. But then as servants of the Daleks they are pretty limited and the Daleks have found new lackeys recently.

As the Doctor says in Frontier in Space, when Jo assumes that the Ogrons must be working for the Daleks, the Ogrons are mercenaries who work for a lot of people (how the Doctor knows this given that he'd never heard of them back in Day of the Daleks is an interesting question). It's a nice bit of misdirection given that they are, as it turns out, working for the Daleks after all.

Davros,watched the latest teaser trailer and listen very carefully.

 

[The Borgified Corpse]

Presumably the Doctor was doing a lot more traveling on his own between "The Three Doctors" & "Carnival of Monsters."

Another thing about the Daleks that seems to been largely forgotten is their reliance on static electricity. I don't think that's been mentioned since "Evil of the Daleks".

Presumably it was such a liability that they came up with some kind of battery power. IIRC, the rectangular panels around their mid-section were supposed to be solar panels.

I wouldn't mind seeing the doctor returning to peladon and see the changes that have happened there after the doctor last visted the planet.

With Sam Troughton as the newest descendant of King Peladon?

Or, as has been suggested, Hartnell & Troughton did know it, but it was part of the memory block the Time Lords put on Pertwee which faded once he had a first-hand trigger to get him past it (the 3rd Doctor does have a habit of remembering that he should know something that he can't remember, before getting his memories back in episode two: Ambassadors, Daemons.... if the Master knows about the Sea Devils, then why didn't the Doctor already know about the Silurians?).
Or the memory blocks just turned off when he was pardoned at the end of Three Doctors.
