There a couple of moments in Who that at first are just a bit weird to watch. But later when you think back on them, they're also a bit inappropriate.

This very small moment from the Series 10 finale, The Doctor Falls, is a perfect example of this. When John Simm’s Master and Michelle Gomez’s Missy are planning their escape, the Master admits he’s a bit turned on by Missy.

Of course, when you remember that Missy is in fact a future incarnation of the Master, it becomes a little creepy.

Admittedly it is probably in character for the Master to love himself and the show does seem self-aware of the inappropriateness of this moment, when Missy shuts down the Master’s advances.

Nevertheless, this was very odd, unnerving scene.
