10 Doctor Who Deleted Scenes That Would Have Changed Everything
10. A Load Of Pants (The Shakespeare Code)
In this underrated Series 3 adventure involving Big Billy Shakespeare, witches, and a missing play, a subtle piece of comedy plays out.
Martha, who is head-over-heels for the Doctor, is left embarrassed when he obliviously offers to share a bed with her.
It's cringey enough as it is, but unfortunately for poor Miss Jones, this scene was nearly a lot worse.
The original version saw the Tenth Doctor strip down to his undies - no, really - before getting into bed. This makes the situation a million times more embarrassing for Martha, and for the audience watching at home. Thankfully, the scene was rewritten, because the creators deemed it inappropriate.
You don't say.
Ten already gets a ton of flack for his treatment of Martha, so imagine what the backlash would've been to him showing off his budgie smugglers right in front of her?
Considering the more sensitive world we live in today, what might've seemed like harmless comedy in 2007 could've seriously come back to bite the show in the... well, you know where. You almost saw it.
