Top Five Creatures Who Just Won't Quit (feature)

was a piece of short prose fiction included in Doctor Who The Official Annual 2021.
Although it adopted an in-universe point of view — being allegedly written by Jack Harkness himself, some time after the events of TV: Fugitive of the Judoon — it was not strictly speaking a story.
It presented itself as a "Top 5" list of monsters whom the Doctor had defeated once only for them to return to plague them once more. For each monster, Jack summarised the Doctor's first encounter with them then one of their "Classic Comebacks".

== Worldbuilding ==
* The First Doctor defeated the Daleks on "their home planet", unaware that they'd "be back throughout his different lives".
* The Cybermen once had a "massive dust-up" with the Daleks at Canary Wharf.
* The Judoon once "took control" of Gloucester.
* The Weeping Angels are described as stone assassins.
* When they first came to Earth, the Zygons "brought the baby Loch Ness Monster with them".
== Notes ==
* Jack's mini-file on the Weeping Angels clarifies a plot point of TV: The Angels Take Manhattan by claiming that the Angels "transformed" the Statue of Liberty into an Angel; the TV episode does not spell this out, leaving open alternative possibilities, such as an Angel instead replacing the real Statue — or, indeed, the Statue having actually been an Angel all along, unbeknownst to humanity
