History
During the Crusader Tours to the Sapphire Waterfall, the strange entity attacked a tour bus. The entity at first knocked on the Shuttle and then, when it had found a host, somehow made it inside the shuttle without any sign of a hole in the vehicle. It choose to possess Sky Silvestry. The entity seemed to gather the strength of its host and then repeated every word a person said in exact precisions, including the square root of Pi in 30 decimal places. Eventually, the entity copied word-for-word at the exact same time, focusing on the Doctor's voice, and eventually stealing his voice. She convinced the rest of the crew to try to throw the Doctor off the bus, convincing them that he was now possessed, but the Hostess threw herself and Sky off the shuttle to save everyone.
Despite this, the Doctor had no idea if this killed the entity or if there were more. (DW: Midnight)
- It is also unknown what the creature's ultimate intentions were as it never really got a chance to speak on its own. It was most likely hostile, as it wanted to have the Doctor thrown out into the sun. It preferred the bodies of corporeal creatures to its native environment, as the entity said the environment was cold and dark.
Behind the Scenes
- This is the first time on Doctor Who where an enemy has never been revealed. The name of the creature is not revealed in the episode, and "Midnight entity" is just an unofficial name.
- The entity seems almost identical to the species in the Doctor Who Unbound audio A Storm of Angels, right down to the gemstone planet it inhabited.
