Great Intelligence
Mysterious and nefarious intelligence floating through space, the Great Intelligence had at first a penchant for mechanical yetis, which we greatly miss in New Who. The Great Intelligence would eventually inhabit many forms and enlist the services of many a creature to battle its nemesis, The Doctor. In New Who, the Great Intelligence was played by Richard E Grant, Withnail himself!
