As a long-time Doctor Who enthusiast who has witnessed the regeneration of multiple Doctors and the rise and fall of countless enemies, I must say that the return of Villengard fills me with both excitement and trepidation. Having first encountered this formidable adversary during the Eccleston era, it’s fascinating to see how Steven Moffat has continued to weave its sinister influence into the fabric of the show.
With the Doctor Who Christmas special quickly approaching, enthusiasts have been closely examining sneak peeks of Joy to the World, hoping to uncover hints. Fortunately, a significant clue has already been exposed – the reappearance of Villengard.
“The villain originally conceived by Steven Moffat (the writer of this special) has made appearances multiple times across Doctor Who, with one notable instance being the fourteenth season’s episode titled ‘Boom.’
It appears that Villengard could be stronger than before in the forthcoming special, as suggested by the official synopsis: “An adversary from the Doctor’s past is hiding in the shadows, and the fate of all human history is precariously poised. Will the Doctor manage to rescue Christmas across every corner of existence?
So, what is Villengard and what makes it so dangerous? Here’s everything you need to know.
What is Villengard in Doctor Who?
Villengard is a planet situated at the heart of the cosmos, renowned for its extensive weapon manufacturing facilities that churn out an abundance of weapons.
Back in the days of Christopher Eccleston’s portrayal of The Doctor, I first came across the intriguing planet called Villengard, famed for its production of advanced weaponry such as sonic blasters. Though it was merely a passing reference in Steven Moffat’s earlier tales, he has since elevated this mysterious world to a more significant role in the ongoing saga.
In the latest episode “Boom” by Moffat, it’s Villengard that plays a pivotal role, deciding the fate of various characters through its advanced computational system.
It provides weaponry to the Clerics and assures a high casualty rate through its algorithm-run ambulances (played by Susan Twist), profiting from the warfare all the while. The end of the episode sees the Villengard mainframe destroyed by John Francis Vater (Joe Anderson).
In “The Doctor Dances,” the Ninth Doctor (played by Eccleston) identifies Captain Jack Harkness’s (portrayed by John Barrowman) device, the sonic blaster, as having been manufactured by Villengard.
He asks if the Doctor had ever been to Villengard (once), with Jack saying the planet was destroyed when the main reactor went critical. The Doctor says there’s now a banana grove where the factories once were.
In a more laid-back manner, I’d like to share that an intriguing tale unfolds in the comic book “The Whole Thing’s Bananas.” As a dedicated fan, I found myself immersed in a narrative where I, along with the Doctor, collaborate with Dorium Maldovar to transform Villengard’s industrial complexes into flourishing banana plantations.
In the tale titled “Twice Upon a Time,” the Twelfth Doctor encounters Dalek Rusty, a noble Dalek from the story “Into the Dalek,” in the shattered remnants of a place called Villengard. Rusty had turned this location into its own stronghold, annihilating any Daleks that approached, resulting in hordes of Dalek mutants taking over what was left of Villengard.
What does Villengard want in the Doctor Who Christmas special?
In the Doctor Who Christmas special titled “Joy to the World,” it appears that Villengard is attempting to cultivate a star using a star seed, aiming to obtain an endless supply of energy for itself.
As I eagerly awaited the upcoming episode, I stumbled upon a tantalizing sneak peek where my beloved Doctor discovered an intriguing briefcase. With a swift flick of his trusty sonic screwdriver, he conjured up a hologram displaying the unmistakable emblem of none other than Villengard.
In the story, the character from Villengard communicates via the hotel manager of Siluria (portrayed by Jonathan Aris). He makes mention of the “sacrifice of shared consequence” that every being undertook while striving to ignite a star.
