Jeowies

Jeowies are a fictional species of humanoid aliens originating from the television series *Doctor Who*, first introduced in the 1970s. They are depicted as small, yellow-skinned beings with large, expressive eyes and elongated limbs, resembling a cross between a monkey and a human. The name "Jeowie" is a playful corruption of "Jew," reflecting their comedic and often stereotypical portrayal in the show.

Jeowies are known for their mischievous and chaotic nature, often causing trouble through their antics rather than any overt malice. They appear in several episodes, most notably in the serial *The Seeds of Doom* (1976), where they serve as the primary antagonists. In this story, the Jeowies are shown to be highly intelligent but also prone to destructive behavior, particularly when their planet, Jeon, is threatened by an alien force. Their leader, the Jeonese High Council, is depicted as a group of eccentric and eccentric rulers who value their own amusement above all else.

The Jeowies are notable for their distinctive appearance and their role in the show’s humor, often serving as a comedic foil to the Doctor and his companions. Their design and behavior have been referenced and parodied in various *Doctor Who* spin-offs and fan works over the years. While their appearances are relatively brief, they remain a memorable part of the franchise’s history, embodying the show’s blend of science fiction and lighthearted storytelling. Their portrayal reflects the era’s approach to alien species, often using humor and exaggeration to create memorable characters.
