10 Awkward Things That Must Have Happened After Doctor Who Episodes

Not only is Fear Her one of the least-loved modern Doctor Who stories, it also has the power to kill Donna Noble.

When the Doctor dropped Donna back on Earth, he left Sylvia and Wilf a dire warning that Donna must never remember him, or their adventures together. To remember these things would cause Donna's mind to burn up, and she would die.

It's unclear if the Doctor left Sylvia and Wilf a detailed list of things to avoid, but it might have been wise to do so. Otherwise, the 2012 Olympics could have been a very sad day for the Temple-Noble family. Things would already feel strange to Donna when the stadium's crowd suddenly disappeared, as they did when everyone turned into Harold Saxon during Christmas 2009.

The sensation would've only got worse when, after the inhabitants of the stadium were miraculously returned to their seats, a very familiar, very skinny face entered the stadium with the Olympic torch.

You can just picture Wilf and Sylvia leaping off the sofa to block the TV, so that Donna doesn't register the head-exploding significance of the skinny man lighting the Olympic flame.
