    L ~ Logopolis - 1981 story starring Tom Baker in his final appearance as "The Doctor", Matthew Waterhouse as "Adric", Sarah Sutton as "Nyssa" and introducing Janet Fielding as "Tegan Jovanka" and Peter Davison as "The Doctor".

    This story was the first full appearance of Anthony Ainley as "The Master" following his taking over the role at the conclusion of the previous story The Keeper of Traken. The Doctor regenerates into his 5th incarnation. Nyssa and Tegan Jovanka join the TARDIS crew. The TARDIS's cloaking device is named as the Chameleon Circuit for the first time. The TARDIS's Cloister Room is introduced as is the Cloister Bell sound.

    The Doctor goes to the planet Logopolis to repair the TARDIS's Chameleon Circuit, but his old enemy the Master has plans of his own for the planet of mathematicians, a plan that could spell doom for the universe.

      M ~ Malmooth - The Malmooth are a race of humanoid insects native to the planet Malcassairo, who are all but extinct by the year 100 trillion. The last surviving member of their race, Chantho, played by Chipo Chung, appears in "Utopia". A devoted assistant to Professor Yana for 17 years, when the Professor is revealed to be the Master and proceeds to turn on the Doctor and his companions, Chantho threatens to kill him. He electrocutes her, but she manages to shoot him before dying, forcing him to regenerate.

      A feature of Chantho's speech is that she starts and ends her sentences with "chan" and "tho", respectively. She considers it "rude" to do otherwise, tantamount to swearing.

      Physical features of the Malmooth include an insectoid exoskeleton and mandibles, and the ability to survive by drinking their own internal milk.

          O ~ Ogron - Ogrons are low-intelligence, ape-like hominids who live in scattered communities on an unnamed planet on the outer fringes of the Milky Way, far from the central spaceways. The dominant lifeform on their home planet is a giant slug-like lizard named the Eater, and the Ogrons both pray to and are preyed on by it.

          Ogrons are hired mercenaries. Those who have employed their services include the Master and the Daleks. On some human planets, Ogrons are employed as police officers, usually led by a mentally augmented leader.

            P ~ Peri Brown - An American college student (her passport lists her residence as Pasadena, California) majoring in botany, Peri is a companion of the Fifth and Sixth Doctors and a regular in the programme from 1984 to 1986.

              Q ~ Quarks - The Quarks were used on Dulkis by the Dominators to enslave and terrorise the indigenous Dulcian population to ensure the drilling of bore holes through the planet's crust. The Dominators planned to use their technology to fire seeds down the holes which would force the core to erupt, thus providing a new fuel source for their fleet.

              The Quarks were rectangular in shape, with four arms: one pair which folded into the body, the other pair being retractable. On the end of each arm was a solitary claw. The legs extended out below the Quark body. The spherical head was visibly divided into octants; the upper four octants formed the sensory hemisphere, which detected changes in light, heat and motion. At five of the corners of the octants were directional crystal beam transmitters (the sixth corner joined with the robot's extremely short neck). Quarks communicated by means of high-pitched sound waves. Their major weakness was a tendency to run out of energy rather quickly.

                U ~ Ulysees Meregrass - Ulysees Meregrass was an Anuran who had been one of the jailers on the prison planet Volag-Noc and the military advisor to the Mantasphids on the planet Myarr. He also possessed one of the data chips of the Infinite. When the Mantasphid Queen tricked him, he stormed off only to be murdered by Baltazar. He needed a portable water tank to stop him from dehydrating. (DW: The Infinite Quest)

                  ^ Should have been 'R'

                  R ~ Racnoss - The Racnoss appeared in the Tenth Doctor story "The Runaway Bride" in 2006.

                  The Racnoss were an ancient race of aliens from the Dark Times of the universe. Half-humanoid, half-arachnid in appearance, they were an invasion force who consumed everything on the planets they conquered (they were always insatiably hungry, even at the moment of birth). Their race was wiped out by the Fledgeling Empires, including (and judging by the Empress's anger and fear at the mention of Gallifrey, in particular) the Time Lords, over 4.6 billion years ago. Nearly all of the survivors of the race escaped in their ship to where the Earth would later form, serving in place of a planetesimal as its core, hibernating for billions of years, with the exception of their Empress. She would later come to Earth in her ship, the Webstar, seeking to use the Huon particles which had been recreated by the Torchwood Institute as a means of resurrecting her "children" before feasting on the human population of Earth. The last Racnoss were presumed wiped out when the Doctor drained the waters of the Thames down the shaft leading to their ship; the Empress was killed when her own ship was destroyed by the army at the order of Mr. Saxon.

Blon said that they use Venom Grubs to dispose of family members not willing to engage in criminality activities.

                          V ~ Valiant - The Valiant is a UNIT controlled airborne aircraft carrier which featured in the 2007 story The Sound of Drums. It was designed in part by the Master in the guise of Harold Saxon (in his previous occupation as Minister of Defence). As the craft operates in international airspace under the control of the United Nations, it is neutral territory.

                            W ~ Web of Fear, The - The TARDIS narrowly avoids becoming engulfed in a web-like substance in space. It then arrives in the London Underground railway system, the tunnels of which are being overrun by the web and by the Great Intelligence's robot Yeti.

                            The time travellers learn that this crisis was precipitated when Professor Travers, whom they first met in the Himalayas some forty years earlier, accidentally caused one of the Yeti to be reactivated, opening the way for the Intelligence to make another invasion attempt.

                            The travellers work alongside army forces - led initially by Captain Knight and then by Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart - as they battle against the alien menace, hampered by the fact that one of their number has fallen under the Intelligence's influence and is a traitor in their midst.

                            The Intelligence's ultimate aim is to drain the Doctor's mind. The Doctor manages to sabotage the device with which it intends to achieve this, so that he can drain the Intelligence's mind instead, but he is 'rescued' by his friends before he can bring his plan to fruition.

                            The Intelligence is repelled into space, and the Doctor and his friends leave the army to clear up the mess.

                              X ~ X-Ray - Device used in hospitals. In the 1996 TV movie, Enemy Within, the 7th Doctor was X-Rayed but because they were unaware of the Doctor's alien physiology, they took the X-Rays to be double exposures. It was after the Doctor's "death" on the operating table that Dr. Grace Holloway took a look at the X-Rays and realised that he really did have two hearts.

                                Y ~ Yeti - The Yeti although resembling the cryptozoological creatures also called the Yeti, are in actuality alien robots. Their external appearance, that of a huge hairy biped, disguises a small spherical mechanism that provides its motive power. The Yeti serve the Great Intelligence, a disembodied entity from another planet, which tried to form a physical body in order to conquer the Earth. The Yeti are initially a ruse to scare off curiosity seekers, and later form an army serving the Great Intelligence.

                                The Great Intelligence and its Yeti minions were thwarted twice by the Doctor's second incarnation, played by Patrick Troughton, in the serials 'The Abominable Snowmen' and 'The Web of Fear'. A Yeti was also one of the creatures in the Death Zone featured in 'The Five Doctors'.
