10 Times Doctor Who Knew EXACTLY What You Were Thinking

10. Laughing In The Face Of Danger

One of the core appeals of Doctor Who is that its heroes can go anywhere they want, any time they want. Land somewhere they don't like? Not a problem! Just pop back in the TARDIS and fly away. Easy peasy.

In various stories over the years, it certainly would've made sense if the Doctor had noped out rather than putting themselves and their companions in danger, but this never happens.

The show must go on after all, and the characters can't just leave, even when they really should.

Series 2's The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit knew you were thinking this, and directly referenced it at the start of the first episode.

The Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler land on a planet in the orbit of a black hole, after some protest from the TARDIS. Rose mentions that, if the TARDIS is giving off signals that it shouldn't be here, maybe they should both get back inside and leave.

Before she can even finish that sentence, her and the Doctor burst out laughing.

As well as being a wink and a nudge to the nature of the show, this fits right in with both characters' personalities. And it's a really funny moment to boot!
