Doctor Who: 10 Biggest NuWho Plot Twists Nobody Saw Coming

10. The Eleventh Doctor Is Killed

The premiere for the sixth season started off with a bang... literally.

In the first ten minutes of the episode, we see The Eleventh Doctor killed by a mysterious astronaut figure that has risen from Lake Silencio, Utah. It’s fair to say many fans were left shocked and confused by this, as there is no way that The Doctor can actually die, right?

It’s not until a few minutes later that the episode gives us another big twist that The Doctor is back, except it is a younger version of himself who has no idea who, what or why he was sent an invitation to Utah.

River, Amy and Rory spend the remainder of the season keeping his death a secret from The Doctor as they were afraid of what he might do if he found out, since it’s been said to be a fixed point in time.

The twist at the beginning of the season left fans on the edge of their seats as the season went on, as many wondered how The Doctor was going to cheat death.
