An Unbelievable Doctor Who Detail Explains Why The Toymaker Waited 57 Years To Return

It’s been officially confirmed that The Toymaker will be returning as the main villain of Doctor Who’s 60th Anniversary specials, but this long-awaited reunion was actually teased 57 years ago during the character’s very first appearance. He fought against William Hartnell’s incarnation of The Doctor in a 4-part serial during the show’s early years, and although it’s taken 57 years for the character to make his comeback, one small detail in his final scene might explain why it’s taken so long. Still, many fans are hoping that Doctor Who’s upcoming specials will justify the character’s absence further.
