#62 Villains That Should Return

Doctor Who has one of the richest rogues galleries in all of fiction, but whilst some villains seem to return every other series, others have been left gathering dust in the Time Vortex. This week, Kat & Tip dive into the villains they think deserve another shot at the spotlight. From classic-era foes crying out for a modern revival to New Who creations that vanished too soon, we're pitching our dream returns and discussing how these characters could be reintroduced for a new generation of fans. 💬 Which villains would you like to see make a comeback?

Their shows often feature drag, burlesque, music, stand-up and circus performance, along with many a cheeky joke and a whole lot of heart (two of those actually...).Reece and Carrot performed the first show back in 2021, and later this month they will be celebrating Gally Cab's fifth birthday was a special show and event at London's Clapham Grand. Tickets are running low but there are still a few left up for grabs (https://www.outsavvy.com/event/35266/the-gallifrey-cabaret-big-birthday-bash-the-clapham-grand#anchor).
