10 Most Bizarre Doctor Who Moments

Classic Who may have had some weak visual effects, but it was also bizarre in a good way. A great example of this is in yet another Fourth Doctor serial, The Deadly Assassin, in which the Doctor wanders through the Time Lord Matrix and comes face-to-face with some unusual, yet uniquely disturbing sights and sounds.

Upon entering said Matrix, he's greeted by a bespectacled surgeon holding an enormous syringe, who gives way to a gas mask-wearing soldier on a raging battlefield, which then turns into a train track in the jungle. Here, the Doctor's foot is trapped between the rails, as a trio of creepy train drivers silently watches on.

The madness then continues after the Doctor escapes the train tracks. First, he finds himself in a good ol' Doctor Who quarry, where he steps on a giant egg. His surroundings then bend and contort as a circuitboard appears before him, resulting in a pair of eyes appearing in a nearby cliff, and a clown laughing at him from a reflective surface in the ground.

It's a much more outlandish portrayal of the Matrix than the sterile room we saw in the Series 12 finale, but this also makes it far more interesting to watch.
