10 Doctor Who Cliffhangers That Made You Say WHAT?!
2. The Angel Doctor (Village Of The Angels)
Say what you will about Flux, but it cannot be denied that episode four, Village of the Angels, ended on a belter of a cliffhanger!
After discovering a Weeping Angel hidden in the mind of Claire, the Doctor enters Claire’s mind to try and expel this invader. Instead, she learns that the Angel is hiding from The Division, and offers the Doctor a deal: her missing memories restored, in exchange for helping the Angel escape.
Immediately, this seems reckless. Trusting a Weeping Angel is definitely not a wise move. And, of course, when the moment of truth arrives… the Angel double-crosses the Doctor and offers her up to the Angels in exchange for its own freedom.
What happened next was entirely unexpected. It’s common for the Doctor to find themselves in a sticky situation, but rarely do we actually see them defeated. And yet, in the closing moment of this episode, the Doctor is transformed into a Weeping Angel.
This moment left many an audience member with their jaws on the flaw, and a WTF expression on their faces!
