10 Doctor Who Cliffhangers That Made You Say WHAT?!
8. Donna In The TARDIS (Doomsday)
Doomsday really was an emotional rollercoaster of an episode. It marked the end of an era for modern Doctor Who, as we saw the departure of its first companion.
There wasn’t a dry eye across the nation after that heartbreaking farewell between the Tenth Doctor and Rose on Bad Wolf Bay, but before we – or even the Doctor – had time to process this loss, a huge shock was dropped in the form of Catherine Tate in a wedding dress. Oh, and she was also inside the TARDIS.
The Doctor’s famous “What? What? WHAT?!” reaction made its debut in this iconic moment, and the no-nonsense banter from Tate immediately set a very different dynamic and tone for the following episode, The Runaway Bride.
This ending left you in a rather conflicted state of both utter devastation at the loss of Rose, but also a (somewhat guilty) feeling of excitement and anticipation about what was to come from the sassy Donna Noble.
