Doctor Who has been teasing the arrival of its next major villain. Returning showrunner Russell T Davies has kicked off his new era on the sci-fi series with three specials, before Doctor Who returns with a new Season 1 in May. The series’ 60th Anniversary specials saw the return of Tenth Doctor actor David Tennant as the Fourteenth Doctor, alongside Catherine Tate as companion Donna Noble. They also teased fans with plenty of surprises to look forward to in Doctor Who’s future. Two of the 60th Anniversary specials’ biggest teases involved an upcoming enemy for the Doctor, cryptically referred to as the One Who Waits.Thus far, there has been very little to suggest any iconic enemies are going to be appearing on Doctor Who in the near future. However, one final twist at the end of the Doctor Who 2023 Christmas special, “The Church on Ruby Road,” might suggest that at least one other Time Lord is about to make an appearance. Coupled with the 60th Anniversary’s hints of a terrifying foe lying in wait for the Doctor, this could suggest Doctor Who’s next big bad will be one of the Doctor’s own people. While the Doctor has faced several villainous Time Lords in the past, there is one in particular who seems most likely to be the One Who Waits — the villain closest to the Doctor’s own hearts: the Valeyard.Throughout “The Trial of a Time Lord,” the Valeyard was motivated by a secret deal he had made with the Time Lord High Council, who were looking to incriminate the Doctor after he learned too much about the devastation they wrought upon Earth in the far future. The High Council had offered the Valeyard the Doctor’s remaining regenerations, suggesting the Doctor’s insidious doppelgänger either never had the ability to regenerate, or had used up all of his initial regenerations. However, the Valeyard’s schemes were soon unveiled, and he was seemingly defeated by the Doctor. Secretly, however, he survived, disguised as the Keeper of the Matrix on Gallifrey. The Valeyard has not been seen again on Doctor Who.
