The Doctor and Clara: 7 Sensational Hero Moments
The Doctor Who Team
We’re loving the fact that in the latest trailer, the Doctor and Clara seem to be closer than ever. But let’s not forget they formed a great team in the last series... And so, to keep us going until they return on 19 September, here are some of our favourite hero moments with the Doctor and Clara…
The Restaurant at the End of the Episode…
The Doctor was all over the place after recently regenerating and Clara was up to her eyebrows in trouble, alone and terrified. But there was one person she knew she could rely on… This action-packed scene emphasized that the Time Lord may have looked like a completely different man… but his heroism remained unchanged.
Caring and Sharing
We love this scene! Yes, it’s funny and the Doctor’s on top form. But it also shows how much he needs Clara as he prepares to go into the Dalek…
Robot Wars
The Doctor and Clara can go anywhere in time and space and it’s been great joining them as they’ve embarked on adventures with familiar figures from history. When the Doctor took them to Sherwood Forest to meet Robin Hood, Clara’s joy was a treat and the Doctor’s gradual change towards the outrageous outlaw, helped in part by Clara, was great to see. Just watch out for those arrows, Doctor!
Listen to this…
Sometimes the Doctor and Clara save planets, defeat dictators or battle for justice across the galaxy. But on another evening, they did something just as important for Rupert Pink… They helped out a little boy who was scared of the monsters… When the boy who became Danny needed a friend, these two best friends were there for him.
Mummy on the Orient Express
Let’s be honest, Clara thought the Orient Express would be the end of the line for her and the Doctor, but she saw how determined he’d been to save the passengers and how he’d put his life on the line (thank you) for their safety… It convinced her to stay with the Time Lord, although her boyfriend wasn’t exactly tinkled pink by the idea…
Flatline
With the Doctor trapped in the TARDIS Clara had to think outside the box to defeat the sinister, 2-dimensional invaders. They still managed to make a great team and it was only thanks to Clara that the Doctor was able to banish the Boneless.
Dark Water
Yes, we love the scene immediately following Clara’s ‘dream sequence’ where the Doctor reveals how much he cares for his companion. But right after that there’s another great moment where the two friends prepare to find Danny. Both of them aware of the dangers but willing to go to hell together, rather than let the other one down. ‘Chin up, shoulders back!’ the Doctor says to Clara, before adding, ‘Let's see what we’re made of, you and I.’ We think we already know the answer to that one: something pretty special.
Return to the Doctor and Clara’s previous adventures or look forward to the new series now!
