10 Dark Doctor Who Moments You Weren't Allowed To See

The Chibnall era shined a light on lesser-known historical figures like Ada Lovelace, Joseph Williamson, and Mary Seacole.

Appearing alongside Lovelace in Spyfall was Noor Inayat Khan, a British spy stationed in France during World War II. She helped the Doctor defeat the Master and the Kasaavin before being returned to her own time, not long before her real-life capture and execution at the hands of the Nazis.

Actress Aurora Marion revealed on Instagram that Noor’s death was originally set to appear in the episode. The scene was scripted and even filmed, but never made it to screen.

It's hard to say how it would've played out without seeing the scene for ourselves, but it was almost certainly cut because it was deemed harrowing and perhaps even distasteful.

It does seem odd to have an episode celebrating a lesser-known historical figure and then end with them being gunned down in a concentration camp.
