This week’s Doctor Who, The Tsuranga Conundrum, introduced us to a brand new monster, simultaneously deadly and unbearably adorable.
- Doctor Who to take on witch trials and intergalactic retailer as new episode synopses are revealed
- 11 questions we have after Doctor Who: The Tsuranga Conundrum
- Why do all the Doctor Who villains this year just sort of wander off?
Pting isn’t a malicious creature, it turned out, but with toxic skin and a penchant for eating anything inorganic (like a spaceship, for instance) it could easily kill you. However, that didn’t stop viewers falling for its ugly-cuteness – and immediately adding it to their Christmas gift lists.

Fans also spotted similarities between Pting and some other Doctor Who monsters – basically, they thought it looked like the love child of series one’s Raxacoricofallapatorian family the Slitheen and series four’s the Adipose…
The pting looked like an adipose and a slitheen had a baby #DoctorWho

I enjoyed that! It was fast paced, tense and very unique. The Pting was like a cross between an Adipose and a little Slitheen (which was just adorable) and
the scenes between Ryan and the Pregnant Man talking about fatherhood were really sweet!What did you think?#DoctorWho pic.twitter.com/qCTAFmdNoB

Tonight’s episode of #doctorwho was actually pretty good. The development of Ryan’s character was needed and didn’t feel TOO forced. The new characters felt fleshed out enough. It may look like the lovechild of an adipose and a slitheen but I think the Pting’s my spirit animal. pic.twitter.com/UH69wjo8vG

We look forward to hearing the story of how those two got together in future episodes…
