12 Things Doctor Who Has Taught You Better Than Your Parents
3. Don't Wander Off
At least in one sense, we can sympathise with the Doctor. His rebellious companions never learn to abide by the simplest of instructions, namely "Don't wander off!". Anyone with a shred of sense will know not to saunter past the occupants of a Dalek asylum or aimlessly explore the cavernous decks of clockwork men's spaceship, unveiling windows to a French aristocrat's past. Or venture into any perfidious landscape the Doctor materialises within. A distinctive line separates bravery from stupidity, and the Doctor would know this from personal experience. Having to rescue damsels in distress (not excluding Rory) can prove a rigorous task for the ancient Time Lord. Give the (very, very, very, very) old man a break, for once.
