10 Doctor Who Deleted Scenes You Need To See
Go out of your way to track down Doctor Who's deleted gems... or just read this article.
Doctor Who has generated an ungodly amount of deleted scenes over the years.
While we don't have an exact figure, the amount of footage filmed and then never used must number in the hundreds of hours, stemming all the way back to the show's debut in 1963.
Was all of it good? Unlikely, but still!
Some of the deleted scenes left on the cutting room floor were good though. But rather than going through several tons worth of footage, you can sit back, relax, and let us do the hard work for you.
You're welcome.
We've rounded up some of the best, funniest, and most heartwarming deleted scenes from across Doctor Who's long history. Some are over and done with in seconds, while others are much longer, but either way, many would've undoubtedly become iconic had they ever been included in their respective episodes.
10. Doctor In The TARDIS!
Even before he played the Doctor, Peter Capaldi was one of the biggest Doctor Who fans you could ever meet. So it must've been an absolute joy for him to finally spend some time on that glorious TARDIS set.
That joy is on full display in this brief cut from Series 8 finale Death in Heaven, in which the Twelfth Doctor fizzes around the console room with the energy and curiosity of a toddler in a toy shop, flicking buttons and pulling levers to his heart's content.
Honestly, it's not clear whether this is a deleted scene, or just Capaldi on one of his days off.
The best bit however comes right at the end, when the camera does a rapid zoom right into the Doctor's face and he lets out a gleeful, "Doctor in the TARDIS!"
It's silly, it makes no sense, and if it was left in the episode, it probably wouldn't have worked. But in isolation it's pure lovable madness, and it's fun to see a Doctor with such a prickly reputation just let his hair down for a moment.
