 The first two, maybe.

I wanted to avoid the aliens that have been around for a really long time in the show's history like Daleks and Cybermen, not just because they'd be such obvious choices but also because, if the universe of the show is so big and complicated, I might as well look towards the more obscure parts of it and maybe coming up with something a little more interesting.

Although, among other ideas inspired by the Classics, I did consider a challenge based around the Daleks as they were portrayed... just because that would be hilarious, given how different they are from the Daleks we know today.

Interesting.

I'll be honest, with the kinds of stuff that exists in the Dr. Who universe, I'm amazed that humanity managed to set up an Empire instead of crawling back into bed and hiding beneath the covers with a flash light and a twelve gauge shotgun.
