Doctor Who: Judgement Day

Doctor Who: Judgement Day is the title of the six-part mini-series that features characters from several parts of the Whoniverse joining to battle possibly the largest threat to existence ever. The series tells the story of how a sentient 'foreign object' lands in their reality and begins to resurrect the dead.

The resurrections are at first sporadic and small, merely being a small but still baffling anomoly. As time goes on, they seem to resurrect people who had connections to the Doctor. Things turn horrifically bad when those brought back corrupt and mutate into dangerously powerful homicidal monsters that all seem to be telepathically linked. Led by former companions long since passed, the army of the dead ignite a manhunt for the Doctor and the TARDIS, killing all in their path and adding them to their growing army. All the while, preparing for something soon to unfold. Something that may engulf all realities in death and darkness.

The Doctor must find out what has caused this plague to arise and find a way to stop the dead from reaching the TARDIS. But how will the Doctor be able to do battle with those who he once cared so much for?

The Dead
Full aritcle: Necro

The Dead (also known as "Mornites", "Dead Heads" or "Necros") are the genetic coding and memories of the deceased creature replicated and reanimated into a temporarily immortal new body created for them by the Entity. They, at first, retain all memories and personalities of their former selves before death. However, over time, the bodies lose their immortality and actually die while keeping the creature in a state of consciousness and sentience.

When the body becomes so decayed, the influence of the Entity takes over as it preserves what is left of the creature and corrupts it into another soldier for the Entity's purposes. The Dead then become obsessed with acheiving their goal and have a psychotic need to kill all living things that they see. The Entity's influence then passes onto the victims of the Dead and they are instantly part of the army once they have died.

While fully aware of who they are (or were), the Dead are too weak against the Entity and are also so tortured by the pain of their decomposing bodies that they take out all their pain and rage on their targets.

An odd feature of the Dead is that though they are animated dead bodies, they regenerate if damaged.
