Doctor Who: 10 Times The Doctor Just Didn't Give A F***

8. Wait A Minute, That's Not Croydon!

It’s always deeply sad and emotional when a companion decides that their time in the TARDIS has come to an end and they have to say their teary goodbyes before they part ways with their best friend in the universe.

What could possibly make that worse? Oh that’s right, being dumped 500 miles away from your actual destination with nothing but a cuddly owl and a tennis racket to get yourself home.

For a companion that travelled with the Doctor across two incarnations and is seen by many as the greatest of the classic era (maybe ever), Four didn’t seem to give much of a toss that he left Sarah Jane in Aberdeen and not Croydon. Out of sight, out of mind, eh Doctor? He could've at least popped his big curly head out the TARDIS door to double-check his destination!

It's one of those instances that genuinely makes you wonder how much the Doctor really does care about their companions, and how much they're viewed as "disposables", to quote Missy. When you have grand cosmic adventures calling, what matter are the lives of mortals? Well, seemingly not much matter at all.

Still, at least Sarah Jane got to call him out on his lax geography a few decades later! And no Doctor, Aberdeen is not next to Croydon.
