Doctor Who Sunday: Top Moments of the Doctor Part 7

Finally, after what has seemed like ages, this segment is back on a Sunday. Doctor Who Sunday is all about Doctor Who and over the first few weeks (which are more than likely going to turn into months) I am going through my favourite moments of modern Doctor Who. I am currently up to Part 7 which means moments 31 through to 35. You can find the other parts by looking through the archives to the right. Let us get on with the show!

31. Sky Steals the Doctor's Voice in Midnight




This part of the episode of Midnight is when the shuttle that the Doctor was taking on the planet Midnight was attacked by a mysterious force outside. At first she copies the Doctor but then she gets closer and closer before she begins to steal his words before he can even say it. In the end, Sky becomes faster than him and the other passengers think that the Doctor is possessed rather than Sky. The stewardess however, sees what is going on and sacrifices her life to kill Sky.

32. The Nobles have Lost all Hope in Turn Left




In this episode an alien bug makes Donna go back in time and turn right rather than left which means she no longer meets the Doctor. Because of this all of the Doctor's victories are now losses after he dies in Torchwood because Donna was not there to stop him drowning the spider. After that, the only people left who could stop the aliens died each time and so London was destroyed by the Titanic spaceship. Here everyone has lost their hope. This is another of those emotional episode due to the lack of emotion. It is one of my favourite episodes by far. This part also lends on to the next scene I am talking about where Donna meets Rose to save everyone knowing full-well that Rose has told her than when she does finally come with her Donna is going to die. Rose warns Donna of the darkness that is spreading throughout all Universes and realities and when Donna's grandfather notices the darkness Donna decides it is time to go. Turn Left is definitely one of my favourite episodes.

33. Donna Makes the Ultimate Sacrifice in Turn Left




In this part of Turn Left Donna goes back in time to stop herself from turning right to ensure that she does meet the Doctor. She also makes the discovery that she is, in fact,  going to have to die. Donna then has to make the ultimate sacrifice to ensure that she does turn left instead of right. It is another one of those emotional scenes.

34. "Who are you? What will you become?" in Turn Left



This scene comes from the end of the above clip so if you do not want to leave this page and view it on YouTube you can watch the ending above. However, the last few minutes of Bad Wolf are cut out in the last bit so if you really want to see the ending of Turn Left you are going to need to watch this clip. In it the fortune teller who tricked Donna sees how strong she is and wonders on "Who are you? What will you become?!" while scrambling away from her. It really does set up for the two-part finale (The Stolen Earth/Journey's End) which incorporates all of the companions so far in modern Doctor Who including Captain Jack Harkness and Rose's friends/family.

35. The Doctor and Rose Reunite in The Stolen Earth




I am sorry for the above clip but for all of them you have to watch it on YouTube. It is when the Doctor and Rose finally do reunite after a whole season of each narrowly missing the other. It is a great scene that has been two seasons in the making. It deserves its place as one of the best moments of Modern Doctor Who.

There is a lot of emotion recently in the top parts of Doctor Who. This series is Tennant's farewell series though so maybe they were trying for something. Anyway, see you tomorrow!
