Not seen since trying to give Tom Baker a lovebite back in 1975, these cybernised rodents are vicious little buggers that the Cybermen deployed to do their dirty work in the early days. They could easily sneak around through air vents and silently scuttle up behind their human prey and launch an aerodynamic attack on the neck. They were surprisingly cute for killer vermin, with their big eyes and antennae. Pulled along by a bit of string in their previous appearances, just imagine how awesome these little beasties could be when combined with the wonders of CGI, a good budget and the new Cybermen?

These snowmen were most definitely abominable, with their glowing eyes and shaggy hair concealing an evil killer robot beneath. Serving an invisible alien entity known as The Great Intelligence, the Yeti battled against the Second Doctor in adventures set in the Himalayas and the London Undergound, alongside a cameo in 1983's 'The Five Doctors'. Infamously, the sound of their scary roar was created by slowing down a recording of a toilet being flushed. Our current world is still as obsessed by mythical creatures as ever, so the Yeti could really capture the public imagination. Wouldn't it be fantastic to let them loose on the Underground again? It's not as if their presence would make the trains run any worse...

Only encountered once by The Doctor back in 1971, these creatures made a huge indentation on the minds of fans by resembling a kind of biped Onion Bhaji. Sadly they didn't spray people with mango chutney, but instead came to earth in the disguise of golden Adonises who needed help and offered their knowledge and wisdom in return. The grim truth was that they were hiding both their hideous form and their real intent of sinking their claws into the earth's carcass and draining it of resources. Given that recent Doctor Who stories like to make thinly veiled political digs, maybe the Axons could be brought back to draw parallels with a certain Bush's oil-based antics in the Middle East?

Hibernating deep below the earth since prehistoric times, the Silurians awoke in 1970 with the aim of reclaiming their planet. With their reptilian skin, snake-like eyes, Prince Charles ears and a glowing third eye, they were visually impressive. But rather than merely being monsters, the Silurians evoked real sympathy and pathos towards their plight. Just like the human race, they comprised good and bad individuals and The Doctor struck a chord with an older Silurian leader who was interested in peace. Sadly, the Brigadier and his UNIT chums fired off considerably more than five rapid rounds and blew up the Silurian base, much to The Doc's disgust. The Silurians later returned to team up with the Sea Devils and attack a futuristic underwater base, dragging their pantomime horse called The Myrka with them. Very embarrassing indeed. Is it time to reawaken them from hibernation to make up for their misdemeanours?

Certainly gaining a few brownie points for their attempts to slay The Doctor's annoying companion Mel (aka Bonnie Langford), these creatures' Unique Selling Point was their 360 degree vision courtesy of a whopping four eyes. That's almost as many as were watching the show back in 1987 when they made their appearance. The Tetraps, sporting a lined visage that would make Gordon Ramsay gasp, were under the control of evil Time Lady The Rani and armed with rather pathetic stun guns that sprayed out confetti designed to immobilise the victim. Mark Morrison would be proud. However, one sequence involving this bat-like racing lurking upside-down in their cave, guzzling red sludge, hinted at what might have been. But would you give them another crack of the whip?
