10 Doctor Who Deleted Scenes You Need To See

6. Six's Sensitive Side

Colin Baker's Sixth Doctor is known for his vibrant technicolour coat and brash personality. One thing he isn't known for is showing concern towards his companions.

It was Peri who often drew the short stick in terms of his behaviour, but the pair did have their moments of affection, one of which was cut from the end of Vengeance on Varos.

Here, Peri and the Doctor fly away from the titular planet having survived an encounter with its sadistic society. Despite both having nearly perished, they still find time to have a few laughs about the experience, and the Doctor checks in to make sure Peri is alright.

There aren't many examples in Season 22 of the Doctor showing concern for what Peri has been through, so it's a shame this beat was cut.

This would've been a far better ending for Vengeance on Varos, and it would've added more depth to their relationship in the process. So it's unclear why it was left out!
