10 Doctor Who Episodes With Disturbing Implications

7. Elton Has Sex With A Pavement Slab (Love & Monsters)

Doctor Who Love & Monsters Ursula

Probably the most infamous case of an implied disturbing moment in Doctor Who history, the concluding moments of the much-maligned Love & Monsters are unnecessarily, uncomfortably bizarre.

After being gruesomely absorbed by the aptly-nicknamed Abzorbaloff, Ursula's situation only worsens when the Doctor "saves" her by merging her head with a pavement slab, forcing her to live out the rest of her days as a head on a stone.

And then, just when it looks like things can't get even more strange... they do.

Ursula's boyfriend Elton mentions something about their "love life", strongly implying that they have some sort of weird sexual relationship. Just use your imagination.

The show hasn't returned to Elton and Ursula since, which is a good thing, because we do not want to see what sort of slab-tastic sex games the two of them might be playing.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
