26 Genuine WTF Moments From Doctor Who

4. Rose Letting Go Of The Lever And Pete Saving Her At Exactly The Right Moment

Nobody will ever forget this heart stopping moment Rose Tyler let go of the lever in Doomsday and she would've died there and then if the parallel Pete hadn't showed up at exactly the right moment to save her from death by Void. Seriously. Not that anybody wanted her to actually die - *ahem* - but how did he even know that she'd let go of it in the first place? And who told him to teleport to that exact position so he'd be able to catch her?! Maybe he was coming back to tell her that she'd made the biggest mistake in her life by choosing the Doctor over her family and she just got really, really lucky. Stranger things have happened. Like the whole 'burning up a sun just to say goodbye' thing. That was weird.
