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.
