The Villengard Corporation, based on the planet Villengard, was the biggest weapons manufacturer in recorded history, (TV: Boom [+]Loading...["Boom (TV story)"]) home to the Weapon Factories of Villengard. (TV: Twice Upon a Time [+]Loading...["Twice Upon a Time (TV story)"])
Villengard supplied all sides in all conflicts for two centuries prior to 5087, including the Anglican Marines. (TV: Boom [+]Loading...["Boom (TV story)"])
Among the various products it sold in that century were sonic blasters, (TV: The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"]) Villengard smartmines, and Villengard Automated Ambulance Units. While engaged in combat situations, the Villengard Ambulances were connected to the Villengard Battle Computer and acted under the Villengard algorithm. (TV: Boom [+]Loading...["Boom (TV story)"])
Behind the scenes
- The return of Villengard in TV: Boom [+]Loading...["Boom (TV story)"] is one of many references in that story to past Steven Moffat scripts, as this was Moffat's first script since his showrunner era ended in December 2017.
- This story also introduced a significant change in pronunciation of the word "Villengard", as a result of Ncuti Gatwa's line reading as the Fifteenth Doctor. Originally, Christopher Eccleston's Ninth Doctor stressed the first syllable (so it sounded like VILL-en-gard), whereas Gatwa now began stressing the second syllable (Vil-LÉN-gard). Later, Steven Moffat would comment, "I approve. We all liked it so much we elected to keep it."[1]
