4. Did The Half-Face Man Jump?
BBCTo borrow a quote from the Eleventh Doctor Fellas, youre never gonna stop asking. Unless it becomes plot relevant later in the series (which is certainly a possibility), its likely that well never find out the answer to this one. Its still early days for the Twelfth Doctor, and the ambiguitys an important part of his personality so that there can still be surprises from him later. But to work out an answer, what you have to ask is Whose programming would break down first: the Half-Face Mans or the Doctors?. Suicide is against the Half-Face Mans programming but murder is just as much against the Doctors. You could debate this until the cows come home (and forums will most likely be full of it for a while) but to us, it seems most likely that the Doctor pushed him. The Doctor says that one of them is lying about their basic programming and whats Rule One? The Doctor always lies. Also, when it comes to the final confrontation, its the Doctor who makes all the first moves. The Half-Face Man doesnt initiate a fight to the death or state the likelihood of him killing. Its all down to the Doctor. And when you look at the Doctors reaction to the Half-Face Man being impaled on the Elizabeth Tower; its not one of sadness at a life lost or one that says Well at least thats done. Its one of anger, and a very dark and murder-y look.
