“One may tolerate a world of demons for the sake of an
angel”—Jean-Antoninette (“Reinette”) Poisson, aka Madame de
Pompadour, “The Girl in the Fireplace” What a world of demons
Doctor Who has presented us with over the past seven decades: from
Daleks and Cybermen to Weeping Angels and the Silence, the greatest
villains of the Who-niverse have achieved an iconic status all
their own, cementing themselves in the minds of millions of viewers
(why else would Parker Brothers have devised a version of Monopoly
after them?). If, as the Seventh Doctor once said, "You can always
judge a man by the quality of his enemies,” the Doctor is great
indeed, rescuing the universe time and again from some of the most
formidable and terrifying villains in science fiction history. Now,
for the first time, an entire anthology of essays is dedicated to
deconstructing this gallery of blackguards. Who are the greatest
Who villains of all time? Why are they so frightening?
And—apologies to Shakespeare—what do they tell us about the
villainy of our own fears?
