Series 7. Episode 9. 20 April 2013. It's another case of The Doctor's apparent joviality belying the true gravity of the situation as he and Clara wander around the big old spooky house at the beginning of Hide. Even from the opening few minutes of the episode it's clear that some strange, quite possibly supernatural things are happening. As they reach the landing at top of the stairs a loud noise of unknown source backs them into the corner. When Clara asks what it is, The Doctor describes it as "a very loud, very angry noise" and asks her if she's making it. Clara explains to the Doctor that while she might be "a teeny, tiny bit terrified... I'm still a grown-up... there's no need to actually hold my hand". The Doctor raises his hands in front of his face, flaps them about a bit and tells her "I'm not holding your hand". At this point they both look behind themselves, before screaming and running down the stairs. So were any of these ones among your favourite Eleventh Doctor funny moments?

I'm just a guy who loves words. I discover vast tracts of uncharted enjoyment by chucking words together and coming up with stuff that talks about the things I enjoy and love most. I'm also a massive listaholic, so I'm probably talking about a list, looking at a list or banging away at another What Culture list as you read this. My tone's pretty relaxed and conversational, with a liberal sprinkling of sparkling wit, wilting sarcasm and occasional faux-condescension - with tongue almost always firmly planted in cheek.
