Doctor Who: 5 Best Dalek Defeats In NuWho
2. Fried By Regeneration Energy, Time Of The Doctor, 2013
The Time Of The Doctor, the Christmas Special marking Matt Smith's last appearance in the leading role, has the Eleventh Doctor take up residence on Trenzalore, protecting a small town called Christmas from invading armies of his greatest enemies, including Cybermen, Weeping Angels, and of course, Daleks.
The villains' goal is to force The Doctor to reveal his true name, which will free Gallifrey from the Time-Lock placed upon it in Day Of The Doctor, but also potentially allow the Time War to rage across the universe once more.
The Doctor remains on Trenzalore for centuries, protecting the people of Christmas from the invaders. Eventually, The Doctor grows elderly, and reveals that he has come to the end of his current regeneration cycle and will soon die. A final army of Daleks arrive, eager to bear witness to The Doctor's death. However, speaking through a crack in time, Clara Oswald convinces the Timelords to give The Doctor a new regeneration cycle.
They do so just in time to save his life, and as he begins to regenerate, The Doctor uses the excess regeneration energy to destroy the invading Daleks, saving the town of Christmas one last time.
