Doctor Who: 10 Most Infuriating Cliffhangers Of The Revived Series

The ones that made your blood boil.

"To be continued". The three words that every Doctor Who fan dreads. The moment they appear - and you subsequently realise that you're going to have to wait an entire week (and sometimes even longer) to find out what happens next - is usually when you're screaming into a pillow or ferociously throwing something heavy at your TV screen in an uncontrollable outburst of incomprehensible rage. When they're at their best, a Doctor Who cliffhanger can be one of the most climactic catalysts for Whovian self combustion. When they're at their worst, however, they're just plain annoying. Suffice to say, over its half a century in operation, Doctor Who has given us its fair share of both.The writers certainly knows how to keep us on tenterhooks but sometimes their efforts are ultimately in vein. Over the next few pages you'll discover 10 of the most infuriating cliffhangers of the revived series so far. The majority of them have made the list because they were brilliant plot twists in their own right but they ultimately lost their spark thanks to their resolution in the following episode. Some actually make no sense at all when you really look at them while others are just undeniably silly full stop. Either way, they still got all of us talking.
