10 Unintentionally Funny Doctor Who Deaths
1. Eaten By A Plastic Chair (Terror Of The Autons)
Classic Doctor Who is full of delightfully campy acting, and we're here for it.
The deaths are especially funny. People flailing their arms around, flopping over in increasingly ridiculous ways, and screaming like they were auditioning for the role of the faceless woman in Tom and Jerry.
Perhaps the funniest classic Who death comes in the Third Doctor serial Terror of the Autons. The Master, played by the wonderful Roger Delgado, demonstrates the "unique" properties of an inflatable plastic chair. He gets someone to sit in it, before revealing that the chair is actually an Auton.
The Autons are creatures of living plastic, controlled by the Nestene Consciousness. This particular one is instructed to kill the man sitting on it, which it does - in hilarious fashion.
The seat slowly collapses in on itself, trapping the man inside it while he writhes around like a deranged worm. He eventually suffocates, and earns his place in history as the man who got eaten by a chair on Doctor Who.
These were the monsters Russell T Davies chose to reboot the series with. The chair ones. Brilliant.
