Doctor Who: 11 Most Endearing Eleven Moments

By Rebecca Kulik /

2. Clara€™s Sickbed and €œClever Clocks€

Okay, again, I€™m cheating. These moments are both endearing for the same reason, but they were both just so lovely I couldn€™t resist. So lay off me, imaginary-accusatory-staring-people! When Clara has just died and come back (again), the Doctor takes her upstairs and tucks her into bed. But he doesn€™t just do that€”he goes manic and makes up a whole sickbed for her. He runs around getting a glass of water, a vase of flowers, and some biscuits. Sure, he eats one of the biscuits€”but notice that, when Clara wakes up, that€™s how she knows she€™s not alone. The whole thing shows how much he cares about Clara, and how happy he is to have found her. So does the other moment classified under €œClara.€ The Doctor paces about, trying to figure out what Mrs. Gillyflower€™s plan in €œThe Crimson Horror€ is. Clara tries to stop him twice to tell him the answer, until she actually has to physically hold him still. Then the Doctor gets this smile, and calls her €œClever Clocks.€ She answers with €œMiss me?€ And he mutters €œYeah, lots.€ And you know from his delivery that he really, really means it.
