10 Most Inventive Ways That Doctor Who Has Killed Off Its Own Characters

7. Death By Kinky Looking Sofa (Terror Of The Autons)

That Nestene Consciousness can be thanked for providing many an inventive plastic themed death for Doctor Who viewers. With its handy (geddit?) Autons bursting out of Debenhams to shoot unsuspecting shoppers in the back, old Nesty knows how to kill humans off in novel ways. Not impressed by walking shop dummies? Well, how about a killer troll doll or sentient phone cord? No? How about a homicidal daffodil? However, the Nestene Consciousness excelled itself with its deadly sofa. With its shiny, wipe down finish, the Consciousness obviously planned to use the kinky looking piece of furniture to infiltrate sex-parties and swinging events worldwide, in one swell swoop wiping out half of the governments of the world. The unsuspecting victim would not even notice a problem as he initially stuck to the covers. However, he'd soon be swallowed up by the capricious couch. As Doctor Who deaths go, murder by sofa is one of the most inventive.
