Say what you want about Clara Oswald, Jenna Coleman played her brilliantly

Dalek: "You will be exterminated." River: "Not yet. Your systems are still restoring which means your shield density is compromised. One alpha-mezon burst through your eye-stalk would kill you stone-dead." Dalek: "Records indicate you will show mercy. You are an associate of the Doctor's." River: "I'm River song. Check your records again." Dalek: "Mercy." River: "Say it again." Dalek: "Mercy!" River: "One more time." Dalek: "Mercyyyyy!"

What about River Song? She hooked herself up in the Library, knowing she would die (and knowing that the Doctor had always known how and when she would die).

1:05 When I watched this episode I was NOT expecting the four knocks to come from Wilf.

"I wish I knew you better." "I think, sir, you know me at my best."

Harriet Jones death in the stolen earth was also memorable

Disappointed "Oswin" from "Asylum of the Daleks" wasn't on this list. One of the best stories ever. The audience reveal was heartbreaking, but it got worse when it was revealed to Oswin.

I feel like Amy’s sacrifice to the angel counts at least tangentially

Was expecting miss foster to go all looney tunes and hold up a ‘Yipe!’ sign.

Does anyone remember that Gwyneth is later revealed as an ancestor of Torchwood character Gwen, because same actress played both? In The Fires Of Pompeii, Donna insisted that the Doctor rescue the Roman family they met, from the eruption.

What about Capaldi dying billions if not trillions of times in the confession dial?

"It was the first regeneration of the new era of doctor who and it remains... one of the most FANTASTIC." ... You just couldn't help yourself, could you?

Not technically a death scene but the when Donna realizes that her memories will be wiped and she will go back to being the person she was before her time with the Dr. is the most heart wrenching, "death".

'You were brilliant. And you know what? So was I!' will forever be one of my favourite Who lines

The look on Miss Foster's face when she found out she wasn't necessary, anylonger.

We love Capaldi

The only problem I have is that Christmas Carol was already written, and being "performed" by Dickens before he ever met Gwyneth. Other than that, Great Video!!

No, Dickens had already written “A Christmas Carol” long before the events in “The Unquiet Dead”! He’s actually sick of performing it in the episode. He IS working on “The Mystery of Edwin Drood”. He tells the Doctor and Rose that he is going to include ghosts in the conclusion of the story. Except, Dickens never finished that novel, he was still working on it when he died.

They missed some other great choices for this list, too. Here’s just a few obvious ones, off the top of my head. -“Gretchen Alison Carlisle. Do something good and name it after me”. -Gretchen, Into the Dalek -“Clara, for what it’s worth, and it might not be worth much, but when your whole life flashes in front of you, you see people you love, and people missing you. I see no-one” -Psi, Time Heist (like Jack in Parting of the ways, he survives, but he’s absolutely sure he won’t and still stares the Teller down like a baller) -“Shh, Spoilers” -River Song, Forest of the Dead (As if I needed to give a reference for that epitaph!) -“Affirmative” -K9, School Reunion (I know, it was actually a self sacrifice, which should be a whole other list, but c’mon, you gotta include it!) -“I think sir, you know me at my best””Ready””Content” -Octavian, Flesh and Stone -“Did I ever tell you about this boy I met there, who pretended to be in a band? -Amy Pond [+36yrs], The Girl Who Waited -“Oh, you know nothing of any human, and that will be your downfall” -Harriett Jones (former Prime Minister), The Stolen Earth I actually wouldn’t have included either Doctors deaths, as they do come back in a fashion and know this, but I can live with it and remember Tennent’s description of the regeneration cycle. I definitely wouldn’t have added Donna, as I don’t think she knew she was dead, she just knew she may die, and, what do you know? She survived.

Clara was the best companion, and I actually cried when she died

I would've put the ship crashing cliffhanger to Caves Of Androzani in this list in which 5 declares he knows he is going to die and so there really isn't much point in stopping him/piloting the ship carefully because literally nothing can, he has nothing to lose and will do anything to save Peri. Also Adric's death is a classic

General Stal of the 4th Sontaran fleet, Stal the Undefeated, when the boy genius switches places with the Doctor. It was the epitome of an "oh shit!" face.

Donna in Turn Left.

Father's Day breaks my heart every time 💔💔😭😭

donna noble and doctor signaling to each other with that room between them is THE best conversation throughout the history of time

One that doesn’t really count, but I want to mention it because it gets me EVERY time: Idris saying “hello” to Eleven :’(

As much as agree with most of these... Where are Amy from angels take Manhattan, River from the library two partner and lastly, the combo of bill, missy and the doctor from the doctor falls😭 Surely those should have come out on top of stuff like the adipose Lady😂

Toberman, from 'Tomb Of The Cybermen', electrocuted as he seals the doors of the tombs, sealing the Cybermen inside. He knows he'll die, but he does it anyway. Ingiger, or 'The Ancient One', seals herself in with Sorin/Fenric, and then floods the chamber with nerve gas, killing them both, to stop the future changing for the worse.

No River Song in the library?

Adric, never knowing if his was right!

I think Clara's death was one of the most shocking, I remember watching that episode being aware it was Clara's last series but going "I didn't realise that meant they'd kill her off with still a few episodes to go!" I'd kind of assumed she was safe till the finale!

Much love to Ten(nant), but I would have loved to see what else Eccleston's Nine could have done. He was fantastic.

I both love and hate these moments

Amazing video

Look, if Chibnal writes an episode where a character actually says “Oh....I am so...so screwed!”, I’ll forgive him for Orphan 53.

Father's day was actually the first episode I ever saw followed by the one with the cat nurses I forget the name of with 10 After that I was hooked

The most brilliant moment from The End of Time Part 2 is that when Wilf knocks, he knocks 16 times... four groups of four knocks. I count them every time I watch the episode.

Wilf didn’t just knock on the glass 4 times… he did 4 lots of 4 knocks, just to rub that extra bit of salt in the wound

I cry at tennant's regeneration every time :'( his speech was so moving and u could really feel his pain through david's acting. Same applies for clara's death like wow

I think you nailed again Mr. Ferrick.. well, you and your team...lol I always enjoy YOU'RE videos the most... I think its because of the way you deliver it.. You truly are a fan!!

Harriet Jones in the Stolen Earth... anyone?

This was great. You litterly had me in tears.😭

Clara's death is STILL to soon. 😣

Great video, could you do a 2nd part about this covering the classic era, please

Uh... Dickens had already written "A Christmas Carol" before the events in The Unquiet Dead.

I love doctor who, as an American. My last name is also Ferrick and it's so incredibly rare here, I've never met another Ferrick, not directly related to me. I get a little excited when Sean does a video.

“Although I wouldn’t take back a moment of David Tennant” made me chuckle

Where is John Smith in Family of Blood??

Harriet Jones: Harriet Jones, former Prime Minister. Dales : We know who you are.

Great list

love all the doctors companions

Doctor who is very intense yet funny and I think David Tennant and Christopher Eccleston showed that best in their acting as the doctor and also those two had the best main companions in my opinion (Martha, Donna, Rose)

The first one that comes to mind is Iain Glen as Father Octavian in "Flesh and Stone" with a Weeping Angel's hand wrapped around his neck, telling Eleven to leave him and to not trust River.

No. You have Tenant at the bottom of that list? He should have been in there twice. I’m still haunted by his final line especially since that was actually Tenant realizing his time was at an end as well and not behind sure he had made the right decision. I think the most harrowing “death” in the Whoniverse was Jack being buried in cement. And every time Tenant had to say “Her name was Rose.” I’m tearing up just thinking about these. 😆

You think the Reapers knew they were dead and were never coming back? Several temporal paradoxes since yet no Reapers.

"Please" Donna Noble, Turn Left.

Bro really put the adipose nanny over The Timelord Victorious arc where 10 comes to term with his own death

You forgot about Astrid peth It’s in the Christmas episode voyage of the Damned, she knows that unless she does what she does, there is no way the doctor is going to survive, and he hast to survive, which makes her more than just companion material. It shows why the doctor himself is so heartbroken when she dies when he cannot save her and he really tries. If you watch the episode and you see the look on her face it says everything. Ironically, the character is played by Kylie Minogue and she plays her brilliantly.

Is there going to be a classic series version of this? A few more Doctor regens to use, particularly the 3rd and 5th Doctors, and plenty more self-sacrificing. Kane from Dragonfire is another one that sticks in the mind.

2 of my favorites were both Amy. The one where they were in the dream but she crashed the van because Rory had died and the other where she gave herself up to the weeping angel to be with Rory

Clara's fate was actually greatly postpone, since it was mentioned that her end still had to happen.

The reapers are the TVA 😛

The Reapers from _Father's Day_ are super underrated, but I don't want to see them return. I don't want them to get worn out like the Weeping Angels.

I think an interesting one is in the episode Let's Kill Hitler from series 6B, where after River kisses him with poisonous lipstick, the Doctor knows that he's going to die in half an hour. Instead of freaking out or giving up, he decides to dress in a fancy outfit and continue being himself for the last half hour of his life. His insistence on not having a bleak outlook coupled with his dismissive acceptance of his impending doom make it a fun episode.

I was expecting the 11th Doctor to come onto your list from the impossible astronaut

The title of this video first brought to mind the death of Astrid in Voyage of the Damned.

This extraction beam power off is from the school of Wile E. Coyote.

This episode perfectly reminded me how good 9’s era was.

Another good one is from the 11th Doctor's "Dinosaurs in Space" episode. The look on Solomon's face as he watches the missles flying right at his ship.... perfect karma.

I still cry just remembering Blink

Donna Nobel: That's like meeting Charles Dickens with Ghosts on Christmas!

Catherine Tate absolutely dominates every moment she's on screen in her season. There was so much development she had left and to see her character go from vain and shallow to a thoroughly decent woman by Journeys End and to have it stolen from her. The doctor took all that from her and it was easily the saddest moment of that season and a fate worse than death, and her acting in that scene shows it thoroughly.

I'm not crying, you're crying.

I'm not sure how the third Doctor returning to the Great One's cavern in 'Planet of Spiders' doesn't feature here. It was the whole point of his regeneration, that he had to face his fear and that to go back would mean certain death. Could also mention the fifth Doctor in 'Caves of Androzani'.

Now do Classic Who

Late to the party, but it's only just popped up for me. Whilst the episode wasn't one of the more memorable, Rita's Death in "The God Complex" should have made this list. Easily one of the more impactful that fall into this criteria

Hey can you guys add some stuff from the sarah Jane adventures and torchwood since they are the same universe as doctor who? If not it’s good lol

Thank you for saying that Clara was better with the 12th Doctor!! Been saying her acting got a real chance to shine with him rather than the one dimensional, big-eyed, crush with the 11th! Clara was to the 11th as Martha was to the 10th.

Yvonne didn’t just do her duty…

Jack’s whole life becomes ‘I’m dead constantly and I know it’

"Let me be brave"

Father Octavian? He may have only been in one story but he knew he was screwed, told the Doctor and Amy to move along instead of futilely trying to save him, and held off the Angel that grabbed him as long as he could.

"...and it remains one of the most fantastic." Was the reference intentional? "I just want to tell you, you were fantastic! Absolutely fantastic! And you know what? So was I!"

David’s farewell? Donna’s goodbye? Amy and the angels? River? You left out some of the best! I’ll give you Donna, since she didn’t technically die. But a better version of herself had to say goodbye. Everyone else not being included is a tragedy.

6:12. 38 years! 1969-2007.

*ACTUAL Number 1:* _The Doctor dying trillions of times in Heaven Sent_

What about adric? Not only was his death completely unexpected and a "oh s*it" moment, his final line is the dictionary definition of "I'm dead and I know it"

Eccleston's Doctor had to lay the ground rules of what it meant to be a Time Lord for the new viewers AND reassure the classic Who fans that the series was back. It honestly doesn't matter what happened behind the scenes for the parting of ways for the BBC and Eccleston. The first series of the current Doctor Who ended in the only way it could; by showing the last rule of being a Time Lord...regeneration.

11ths was the best and most saddening regenerat

How did you miss Donna Noble in turn left?!?! That is the greatest, I'm dead and I know it scene in the revival of DW!!!

It is a CRIME that Capaldi's moment of acceptance that he will have to stand and fend off the cyberman army while the Mondasian refugees in the doctor falls is not here.

Didn't they turn Clara into a time lord with her own TARDIS

Waters of Mars. Figure it out.

I think it is important to note that Even Myles was also introduced as Gwyneth, to return in Torchwood. :)

WHY NO ADRIC???? "Now I'll never know if I was right."

"If you think we missed anything..." Um, the entire classic series?

#2 should be on another list. Top ten impossible decisions that broke the Doctor.

Cries

You are fantastic... and you know what? So I am 😃 _Intentional changes_

Not having Father Octavian on this list is a disgrace - it’s the best “I’m dead and I know it” moment in TV, never mind just Doctor Who.
