“
Silence will fall
”
The Silence are minor antagonists in Doctor Who, first appearing in season 6. Anyone who sees them immediately forgets about them after looking away, but retains suggestions made to them by the Silence. This allows them to have a pervasive influence across human history while being difficult to locate or resist.
They are mostly portrayed by Marnix Van Den Broeke.
