The Candyman would make that silly Peter Kay monster look good. If it comes back in the new series then it really would be game over.

be bold and daring mossy and name names.

The Slitheen were bad but do you remember The Happiness Patrol. It stopped me watching Doctor Who after so many years. The Slitheen have not managed that just yet. God I hope they don't come back either.

You sure? Would be quite a feat!

there were quite a few ill conceived monsters back in the classic series..The Nimon..that I shudder about too but none of them ever came back for follow up stories thank lordy.

You've forgotton it haven't you. The stage sets (black floors), dancing actors, comedy chef and the Bertie Basset made from sweets with Mr Blobblys voice

Thought they do come back for S3? Don't have an episode to themselves, but I've heard they appear. Course, could've just been a campfire tale...

why is people seem to think that because a few episodes didn't work for us that we hate Who on the whole which is not the case at all. i think each of us have praised a number of episodes from new Who but we are derided for the one's we dare to criticise.

Please stop I'll have nightmares. The Slitheen in a bitch fight with the Candyman in series 3. We might as well bring back Bonnie Langford to add the cherry.

perhaps he was related to the Slitheen. they were the sweet side to the family. terribly bad joke I know but I am taking lessons from the master..I don't mean the bearded one either!

Belive me Yoonix you really dont want to see it, it is shockingly bad But if you really must

100% true. I think a real lover of the show will praise it when it's good but must be allowed to voice their opinions when the episode doesn't work. We had no voice in the 80s and the show died. The fans helped bring it back but to keep it with us episodes that don't work must be spoken about. I heard rumours that the Slitheen were due back in series 2. Who knows perhaps our comments did some good after all.

Know what it is. Seen a few "out of context" clips, but not seen the actual story it appears in. Sounds just the thing for an RTD episode. Given the right setup, it could work a treat. Not sure of the Mr. Blobby voice though - was Candyman generally clumsy and accident prone?

Can't believe it's on You Tube

Shit! I must be mellowing - that wasn't as bad as I was expecting!

nope. RTD says he doesn't listen to fans.

Thats what he says. He said lots of things that turned out different to what you would expect. I think he does lisen to fans. Maybe not us but I am sure he has feelers everywhere.

If you're that mellow you must be on something I dare you to watch through the entire episode.

One of the episodes of Torchwood was listed somewhere as including a Slitheen - I think it was replaced by 'Random Shoes' so maybe we should be careful of what we wish for !

I don't really see the point of bringing them back as the story was finished off and it's not as if they are an 'iconic' villain like the Daleks etc. - anyway their primary behavioural trait can easily be replicated in other aliens , we all have to do it somehow

*Overused joke detector machine explodes*

Oh you lot are just doing it on purpose now eh....

Now the damn things exploded and I'm sitting here covered in shards and blotches...it makes ME look like a Sli.

*With it's last breath the machine manages to shoot him just in time before he sinks to THAT level!*

I know we're all very jolly on here tonight. Even when we disagree with other we have a little joke. The late nighters are a mellow bunch. By the way are you a Slitheen or a Peter Kay monster

Said "mellow", not "psychotically irrational". Let's not be hasty...

Well said. However sometimes I wonder, why at 12.30 in the morning, I am writing on a sci fi thread doesn't make me "psychotically irrational". I really should go to bed.

now I have blown up your box I can go to bed happy!

Now , if RTD ever came up with a line like that ..........
