10 Doctor Who Characters Who Came Back From The Dead

The Seventh Doctor serial The Greatest Show in the Galaxy is... rather kooky, to put it mildly. It involves clowns, werewolves, gods, and a Psychic Circus - yes, a Psychic Circus - an act that the Doctor is ultimately forced to perform in.

At the end of the third episode, the Doctor makes his way into the ring with Mags and Captain Cook - a pair of fellow adventurers - in tow. While Mags has quite a compassionate and kind soul, Cook is determined to survive at all costs, a selfish and ruthless trait that he finely displays when he triggers Mags' werewolf transformation and leaves her to attack the Doctor.

Unfortunately for Cook though, this decision backfires. Badly.

After chasing the Doctor for a few minutes, Mags turns her rather pointy fangs on Cook, killing him. This left him stone-cold dead for the next chunk of the story, until he was brought back to life by the powerful Gods of Ragnarok - in a more blank and emotionless state, mind you, but still very much alive.

And then... he died all over again by falling into a pit. Smooth.
