10 Times The Doctor Wasn't Very 'Doctory'

11. Honourable Mention: The Girl Who Waited - Tricking Old Amy

Our honourable mention is kind of justifiable. In Series 6, the Girl Who Waited, once Rory has saved the younger Amy in the Two Streams Facility, the Eleventh Doctor refuses the older version of Amy entry to the TARDIS. This leaves this version of the Doctor’s best friend to simply cease to exist.

Whilst abandoning his friend like this doesn’t seem very ‘Doctory’, there are two ways to justify this.

One, for the sake of the Web of Time, two versions of Amy couldn’t exist this way. Which leads to the second point, where saving the original Amy technically ceases the older version to exist, and therefore she was never there to exist.

So, whilst this goes against the Doctor’s usual attitude of saving those he can, in this instance, he had no other choice.
