Doctor Who is back - with a whole new set of villains for the Doctor, Amy and Rory to defeat. And more for us to add to the list.

Back in last July, inspired by the work of xxnapoleonsolo on Many Eyes, we tried to put together the definitive list of every Doctor Who villain and monsters - ever. We had no idea there were so many. Here's our Many Eyes visualisation of them so far.

We've been adding loads of new creatures and people - thanks to your suggestions - and we probably still have some more to go.

Doctor Who's new season kicks off with a nightmarish new villain as the show delves into darker territory.

So, here's a list of all the Doctor Who villains since the very first episode in 1963. Whether it's to help you put your bet on what will make a reappearance next series or just to satisfy hard-core Whovians, hopefully this will help out.

The chart however doesn't include villains exclusively in Doctor Who books, audio books and spin-off shows - only the televised serials and only enemies, as opposed to protagonists. See the comments below for more details.

We're bound to have missed someone - or even got some details wrong. So let us know in the comments field below - and tell us if you do anything with the data. We've extended the comments date so we can keep going with the new series.
