45. Three Fights To Save Sarah Jane
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5AVRsjwgcs This is the scene that perhaps sums up Jon Pertwee's era up more than any other. There's Sarah Jane, there's the smooth-talking suaveness and there's the Venusian karate. This was the story that the Third Doctor would gallantly give his life in, dying to protect his friends at UNIT, and this is a classic Who moment that's played whenever Pertwee's mentioned. 44. River's Goodbye
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaihuPZ6d3Y River always loved the Doctor (apart from when she tried to kill him, of course). But we never knew that the Doctor loved her back. Sure, he was fond of her, but the goodbye between the pair of them at the end of 'The Name of the Doctor' was like seeing a piece of the Doctor's soul. He was wounded that he couldn't live with her, grateful for all that she'd done for him, and still acting like a child who didn't know how to say goodbye. It was a wonderfully touching moment from both Matt Smith and Alex Kingston and a fine ending to a brilliant partnership (surely?). 43. Jack Reveals That He's The Face Of Bo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0tPbATnxJQ It was one of the biggest plot-twists of Who, and it made perfect sense. No one saw it coming. And yet, when Jack reveals that he used to have the Face of Boe, a whole audience's face dropped with the Doctor's and Martha's. Of course he's the Face of Boe; he's ageless, that's what he'll become. A fantastic twist on two adored characters. 42. Eleven Faces Kazran Sardick
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sedD40sEb8M Even Steven Moffat was surprised that the show had secured the services of Dumbledore himself, Michael Gambon, for 'A Christmas Carol'. It seemed, at long last, Christmas specials wouldn't be as rubbish as they used to be. And the first scene between Gambon and Smith is exquisite. Sardick is dry, nasty and nonchalant, and the Doctor is almost like Tigger, bouncing around the room. But how soon it is before the dark growl of the Time Lord appears, and he declares, "I've never met anyone who wasn't important." 41. "It's A Dream, Oswin."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epc-Z974eiQ What a surprise it was to see Jenna-Louise Coleman appearing in the first episode of Series 7, even though she'd been announced to start at Christmas. What a bigger surprise it was to see her as a fully-converted Dalek. It's the most heartbreaking twist of any Moffat story, and the clues were there throughout the episode: we just didn't want to notice them. But it's not the writing, the reveal, or the panned shot revealing a lonely pepper-pot that makes this scene, but Matt Smith's acting. In a single look, he manages to portray such sympathy, sadness that this poor girl has been turned into a machine. And yet at the same time, he's horrified to look at her: she's everything in the universe that he despises.
