10 Things Everyone Always Gets Wrong About Doctor Who

Series 9's Heaven Sent is an incredibly complex episode that leaves just as many questions as it answers. How does the Doctor unlock a wooden door with the power of his thoughts? If the castle resets after each cycle, then why doesn't the diamond wall do the same? And who the hell left those spare clothes by the fireplace!?

Early on, the Doctor escapes the sinister Veil by diving out of a window, falling straight into the water below. Shortly after, he finds a dry, spare outfit that he quickly swaps for his wet one - but the episode never reveals who those clothes originally belonged to.

To some, however, the truth was hilariously obvious. With the Doctor dying and respawning over and over again in a seemingly endless loop, the clothes must've belonged to him. On his very first run through the castle, he'd simply left them there to dry, opting to run around naked for a bit before the Veil eventually caught him.

Though the thought of Twelve navigating the castle in his birthday suit is a funny one, Steven Moffat has confirmed that's not what happened:

"No, of course there wasn’t [a naked Doctor]. I sort of wrote that moment to force you to think that the first time round the castle (the first of many times) wasn’t the same as the version we saw.”

In other words, the first cycle didn't require the Doctor to strip off. Still, good luck getting that image out of your head.
