10 Most Ridiculous Doctor Who Rumours Ever
Amy Pond has sex with a Dalek? Seems legit.
When roaming the dark depths of the internet, it's hard to know what to believe. There are so many websites and YouTubers telling us stuff that it's always best to adopt a "false until proven true" mentality, waiting until official sources like movie studios have confirmed the validity (or lack of validity) of a particular piece of news.
But then again, there are times when an official source isn't really needed, because it's usually quite easy to tell when a story you're reading consists of nothing more than a ridiculous, outlandish rumour.
Now, to be fair, Doctor Who is quite a ridiculous show (in a good way) so you could argue that even the most bonkers rumour has at least a slim chance of coming true, but we'd like to rebut this standpoint by talking about rumours that are so stupid, so wild, so nutty... that there's no way they'd ever make it onto the screen.
Sex-mad alien clones? We've got those. Pop stars abducting Agatha Christie? We've got that too. Humans and Daleks having babies together? True nightmare fuel, and unfortunately, that's also here. Enjoy!
10. Clara's Parents Are Rose And The Metacrisis Doctor
Back when Jenna Coleman first popped up in the 2012 episode Asylum Of The Daleks, there were all sorts of theories and rumours about the true nature of her character.
We knew that she'd be playing a post-Ponds companion, but we'd also been told that she wouldn't be debuting until Christmas special The Snowmen, which aired several months after Asylum Of The Daleks did - and her surprise early appearance sent the rumour mill into overdrive.
It took until 2013's The Name Of The Doctor for us to learn exactly what was going on with Clara, and until then, bizarre rumours were plentiful, including an odd one which claimed that she was the daughter of Rose Tyler, and the Metacrisis Tenth Doctor.
The "evidence" was slim - the biggest things that fans pointed out were some roses in the foreground of a shot in Asylum Of The Daleks, and a pub in The Snowmen called "The Rose & Crown" - and, of course, it was all complete rubbish in the end.
