Life often imitates art, and as such, art often comes with the same pitfalls that most people experience in the everyday. It€™s what makes film and television, especially, so relatable to those who pay their hard earned money to enjoy it. As in life, there are those people who seem to have all the luck whilst there are those who find it seemingly impossible to catch a break €“ and that is the subject of this very article. The Whoniverse has it€™s fair share of characters that just seem to be blessed with a happy ending, but to offer balance, there are those who seem destined to stumble from one disaster to another. Of course there are those who seem to spend the majority of their time within Doctor Who as the unlucky ones, until finally they get the big break they were waiting for. Then again, for some of these characters this is only the story so far. Whilst at the moment they could fall into a barrel of Shamrocks and come out clutching some cress, it may well not be their path forever. For now, however, these are ten of the unluckiest people that Whovians have ever met.
