Doctor Who: 10 Times Captain Jack Died And Lived To Tell The Tale

Jack comes back. And back. And back again.

Death is a constant companion within the Doctor Who universe - and those of its accompanying spin offs - but for one character in particular it's one that he encounters far too often. Over the years Captain Jack Harkness has died more times than he's had hot dinners and as such it doesn't even shock us when he pops his clogs for the umpteenth time. In fact, it's more of a surprise if gets through an entire adventure without dying (has that ever even happened?) and his immortality has given us some of the most memorable and altogether ridiculously outlandish death scenes in television history. The former Time Agent has lived a long life since Rose Tyler's Bad Wolf resurrected him in The Parting of the Ways and there's been plenty of deaths along the way. He's even a paradox now - which is why the TARDIS attempted to palm him off at the end of the universe - and here's a countdown of some of his best deaths as a celebration of the times he suffered obliteration and lived to tell the tale. Missy might've thought that death was not an end but Jack is a living and breathing example that, in some rare cases, it actually isn't.
