Doctor Who: Every Doctor Kiss Ranked Worst To Best

9. The Eleventh Doctor And River Song #1

A kiss that will make you laugh and cry in equal measures. Following their numerous adventures together, it was clear that The Doctor and River Song had a past (or a future, depending on how you look at it).

This was all confirmed at the end of Series 6 episode Day Of the Moon, when River kisses the Eleventh Doctor. At first it's a humorous moment, with Eleven, true to form, unsure how to react initially, later saying: "There's a first time for everything."

But then the gut punch is delivered with River's response: "And a last."

Due to their mixed up timelines that really was River's last kiss with the man she loves. Alex Kingston's performance ,mixed with Murray Gold's haunting music, makes this one of the most heart-breaking moments in the show's recent history.
