10 Most Confusing Scenes In Doctor Who History

We all know why the climactic scenes of Steven Berkoff in The Power of Three are so clumsily realized.

Berkoff was allegedly so difficult to work with that an alternate resolution to the plot had to be scrambled together at the last minute, and that resolution left a lot to be desired.

The Shakri suddenly disappears, the Doctor waves his sonic screwdriver, the spaceship explodes, and everything is fixed. Erm, what just happened, and why did it happen?

Throw in some blatantly obvious close-up inserts of Matt Smith and Karen Gillan against a green screen, and the scene is so chaotic that it's hard to follow exactly what you're watching.

We also never actually see any of the cubes defibrillate anyone back to life – there's no tension, no build-up, nothing. It all just amounts to the Doctor waving his sonic at a sci-fi TV screen and saving the day.

Which, to be fair, is roughly 87% of Doctor Who resolutions, but this one was clunkier than most.
