10 Unluckiest Doctor Who Characters

Donna. She was sent to The Doctor as "The Most Important Woman In The Universe" and finally escaped her tragically normal life only to have all of her most joyous memories erased by the man who gave her that joy and returned to that same dull life like she meant nothing. And then there's poor Wilf - everytime that man tears up I'm sobbing lol

[@patrickmccurry1563]

Knowing that he can't so much as mention any of those wonderful times or it would kill her. Imagine having to guard your every word around loved ones like that.

[@declanhugors]

Is nobody gonna mention Tzim-Sha? His plan was foiled because a team of 4 people just individually happen to come across his egg, his database, and his target by coincidence and just happened to have procession of a new screwdriver and the word from a bus driver who witnessed the database. Furthermore, the database didn't move from its spotted location in order for the plot to happen. I honestly wanted Tzim-Sha to win at that point.

[@iusethisnameformygoogleacc1013]

I mean...Donna's outcome is sad, but she is literally exactly back where she was at the start, no better, but no worse.

[@MastarNinja]

The fact that not only was all of her best memories erased before she was forced to returned to her boring life, but that the mere mention of it by her mom or grandpa could kill her is extremely sad. At least unlike the later 2, Donna has no idea of what she's missing. Plus, with her wedding gift she probably has enough money to do what ever she want. As for Wilf, he really has the saddest fate out of the 3. All he wanted was his granddaughter's happiness and knowing he couldn't even hint at her missing memories in fear of killing her is hearth breaking. Hopefully with RTD returning and Bernard Cribbins (Wilf) seemingly still being alive and active we could see his return as a cameo in an episode or in a special. I also just want to see his face when he finally learned that The Doctor not only "survived" the radiation poisoning, but got to live 3 other lives after their final interaction.

[@RosesTeaAndASD]

@@MastarNinja I would have loved to see Wilf become a companion - but one who had to hide his secret life from Sylvia’s wrath while at home, but also carried the great sadness that he could never share his adventures with Donna everytime he saw her. All that time behind his daughters house with his telescope staring up at the stars... It would have been fascinating to see his reaction to suddenly travelling in the TARDIS like Donna did and having his own adventures while hearing The Doctor talk to Wilf about Donna so we could see her story from another perspective. Wilf had a very strong character so it could have been possible. Also, dealing with The Doctor regenerating could have created an opportunity for The Doctor to reintroduce to NuWho his past relationships with The Master from Classic Who after The Master failed to bring the timelords back in that episode. I just see some potential there, as opposed to the unfortunately one dimensional 3 companions we've had recently. Wilf was a very strong, fleshed out character. Sorry for rambling, it's late at night so I do apologise for that. Take care and night all🙂👍

It was first marketed as an educational kids' show. But that was never really true even in the original series. It obviously isn't remotely true in the new series.

[@rachelcookie321]

I thought the same thing. A kids show is marketed towards kids. Like teletubbies, Dora the explorer, Steven universe, Sophia the first. While a family show is supposed to be something any age can enjoy. Doctor who was definitely not made specifically for kids. If anything it’s made for teens and up. I enjoyed the show as a kid but it’s very complicated and there are lots of stuff kids won’t understand. So it’s a family show.

I think River should have been on this list. She was taken from her parents at birth, probably abused and mistreated by The Silence, forced into an astronaut suit and was shot at by her own mother before she managed to escape and regenerate. As an adult she was forced into the astronaut suit once again and was forced to kill the man she loved. She also married a man who knew that we was going to die and therefore never told her that he loved her, and she frequently had to hide who she truly was. Oh, AND she was watched her parents die, and all of her friends in the library, and when she died herself, she became trapped in the library data core.

[@4nn13h7]

Her feelings and problems are also almost perpetually forgotten or ignored by the characters who are supposed to care about her. Amy and Rory don’t really know her for who she is, and they’re not parental toward her even when they do. The Doctor somehow simultaneously treats her like an inconvenience and a convenience until some of his last interactions with her. I can’t believe her character is portrayed as lightheartedly as it is. If you had read it all on paper first, you’d assume a much more nuanced and troubled character.

[@thomasprice7893]

For real, River's entire existence is fucking pain. What really gets me is that she had her first regeneration as a goddamn child, then another one as a teen, then lost the power. Jesus christ what a waste of a Time Lord.

The doctor is just so unlucky. He had to make an impossible decision, which ended in him killing off his own race, only to find that it was all in vain because the daleks came back. He has to live with that every day. 10 fell in love with rose only for her to be trapped in a parallel universe, the rest of his companions either left or met a horrible end, resulting in him basically going mad with grief. 11 lost the two most important people in his life at the same time and went into a depressive episode. 12 forgot clara, even though he spent 4 billion years in his own personal hell trying to save her, then lost bill and learnt that he could have saved her if he'd been just a few seconds earlier and left thinking that missy had betrayed him again.

[@Neil070]

Plus he saw Gallifrey destroyed twice. If you accept the Timeless Child story arc. Which I refuse to do. I shall stop watching, after following the show since November 23rd 1963. I shall just pretend the Doctor's personal history ended for me with Capaldi. Poor JW, saddled with terrible scripts, and a show runner who seems determined to undermine the entire mythos.

Although it still seems to have been destroyed. By the Cybermen courtesy of The Master, this time. And to be fair to Bill, though, she was ultimately rescued by 'her wet girlfriend' and they went off to explore the universe together.

What about River Song? She got ripped away from her parents when she was a baby. Kovarian raised her to be a murderer, psychopath. She did runaway and got to live with her parents, but they didn't know who she was. When she grew up she killed the Doctor and she did save him. She fell in love with the Doctor, but they travel in different directions. At some point Kovarian caught her and forced her to kill the man she love, the Doctor. She doesn't really do it, but she ends up in prison for something she didn’t do for years. Then she watches her parents being taken away by the weeping angel knowing she'll never meet them again (or if she meets the younger versions, I think it's even worse that way). River also knows that she will meet one day a Doctor that won't know her and she believes that it will kill her. River did get 24 years with the Doctor knowing that it won't last forever. Then she goes to the library and meets a Doctor that doesn't know her. She sacrifices herself to save him. The Docor uploads her mind into the computer where she gets to live as long as she wants agues. But when we think about it, isn't the computer a bit more like a prison? But this time she can't really escape it. So tell me that isn't sad? That her life isn't tragic. That she isn't unlucky.

Adam Mitchell. He was the Ninth Doctor’s companion for only ONE episode, The Long Game. In the episode, Adam was told by the Doctor to guard the TARDIS and not to interact with 200,000’s technology. Because he did the opposite, Adam got himself an infospike instalment. In the end, he blamed the Doctor for letting him get augmented, despite the fact that the doctor told him to keep away from such technology. Later on, Adam’s mother shows up and snaps her fingers, finding out about her son’s infospike in shock. So, for the rest of his life, Adam had to put up with the infospike by keeping it a secret from everyone of the current year and from the Doctor’s observation, Adam would have to live a quiet live and that he would be dissected if anyone would find out about his augmentation. To be honest, I didn’t care for Adam, so he was even more of an idiot than Mickey Smith.

There's a comic book about his stupid revenge on the Doctor for what was clearly Adam's own responsibility. I haven't read it and have no wish to do so as it sounds like a bad fanfic anyway.

Did...did you really put Joan Redfern discovering that her second love, who she knew for a few months, never really existed, above a person having their organs removed and being converted into a cyberman? Like, sure, she got a bullshit happy ending in a special most of us pretend didn't happen, but every fucking New Who companion had it worse than Joan. Like...sure, John Smith 'died' and she had to help talk him into it. How many husbands and wives die in any given episode of the show? Amy's entire life and psychological development was fucked up by the Doctor's involvement in it. River fucking raised herself as a black kid in Nixon-era America before somehow managing to get to Britain. Rose had a worse outcome than Joan purely by virtue of knowing him longer and better. Fuck, Martha had it worse than Joan in that fucking Episode. Also...no one's going to bring up how when you were comparing Bill's experience to other NuWho companions, you explicitly compared her to the other black ones? And it wasn't even in the sense that like, the black companions on Doctor Who have had it pretty rough due to some arguably racist choices in RTD's era, which is worth mentioning, but just compared her to other companions and they were just the black ones for no clear reason? There's something really off putting about the first two minutes of this video.

[@Md-4c]

What about Davros? He was born out of adultery into a nuclear warzone, got blown up and put into the chair and then was constantly thwarted by the doctor and sometimes by his own creations.

[@ktm5130]

What about River Song? She was taken from her parents. Turned into a weapon to kill the man that she loved more than anything and forced to watch him forget her even more every time she saw him until eventually he didn't know who she was.

[@sbenton62]

I take exception with your statement of Doctor Who being a kid's show.

#12 was in a time loop for a billion years

[@Croftice1]

Not really a time loop. It's implied, that he resets everytime he died, so not remembering anything from his previous self. If it was a time loop, not remembering would prevent him from proceeding. At his end by the hands of the Veil monster, he crawled back at the beginning and reset the teleporter, resulting in a new identical copy of himself emerging from it. The time was passing on, so it's not a time loop. He just happend to figure out things over and over through each next clone, that came after the previous ones.

[@coldermusic2729]

Rory is the most loyal person alive 😂 He literally spent years guarding Amy... wait, not years... MILLIONS guarding her. And both the doctor and Amy don’t ever properly thank him for it 😅

[@Croftice1]

2000 aren't millions. The Doctor made a comment about that ("the man, who waits, good on ya, mate"), when watching Rory and Amy dance at their wedding, though Rory didn't hear that. But he didn't have to. He didn't do it for the thanks, or any other profit, he did it for Amy's love, and he got it. So there's no issue.

[@coldermusic2729]

@@Croftice1 That’s not the point bro. The series just glosses over it. The amount that he did was just treated as a joke, and mentioned in a few lines and that’s it. It’s like the creators themselves even forgot about it.

The Master did get lucky when he was at the end of his regenerations and looked like a zombie. He was able to merge his body with Nisa’s father and get a new body.

[@michaeloxley9014]

Isn't K9 a robot? Why is it in the top 10 ahead of Bill and Danny, ahead of anyone who actually died. If K9 malfunctions all you need to do is nip down to PC World and get someone in the know to give it a reboot. It's a glorified ZX Spectrum on wheels.

[@rtozier2011]

This means the Doctor would have saved Bill if he'd been 1/70th of a second faster.

[@jamiereynolds862]

How did Ram (& the rest of the Class cast who witnessed members of their race/families be brutaily murdered in front of them) or Captain Jack (where do I even start) not make this list but K9 did? 😂

[@fibienn250]

I would have put Captain Jack at the top of this list. An eternity of pain just because he travelled with the doctor.

When I think about the Weeping Angels, I think about this: Imagine the Weeping Angels wait in a cemetery. Then imagine everyone knows about them and what they can do. How many people would want to go back in time and visit them. Many people would be like: 1950s please and let an Angel zap them back to what they consider happier times. Amy and Rory lived happily together after they were zapped back. They even adopted a child. Imagine going back in time to the 50s or 60s. (or any time) You'd know the winners of big sporting events, election etc. I bet the Angels would get so many willing volunteers that they would happily wait for people to come to them.

[@angus5898]

Bill should have been higher than10th. What happened to her is truly horrific.

[@mikevisby8744]

I agree there, many of the higher up choices still had it bad, but Bill had a horrible thing happen to her.

[@gabriella3307]

Rory was definitely unlucky. I mean, have you seen his ponytail???

[@tioalra6746]

Lets not forget the rory Version in the TARDIS, who got stuck for decades, unable to die, blaming Amy and the doctor for his torture.

[@NickJohnson-gw2yq]

To be fair, Bill had the option to return to human form and go home. She chose to become that oil entity and travel the universe

[@mason4135]

I mean what about that one dude who was slowly being turned into a pig-man hybrid? I cant remember much about the episode, I think it was the 10th or 11th doctor and the last we see of him he's sat in a park bench with his girlfriend accepting he's turning into a pig and not got long left to live

[@Croftice1]

The Doctor fixed his expire date, he was no longer dying. He remained pigman, but at least was happy with his girl.

[@naterksmr]

I'd say being cursed with immortality, then being completely paralyzed and left in a cornfield as a scarecrow for all eternity might qualify for a list like this. Pretty sure spending several decades of my life in gridlock and then being saved isn't quite as bad in comparison.

[@themindsetvideos]

Rory waiting 2000yrs for Amy while she was snogging the Doctor was a pretty bad one...

[@patrickmccurry1563]

@Night_Blue_Wolf That wasn't really Rory though. It was an Auton copy. But Doctor Who doesn't stick to its own canon even within episodes, so it's kind of a wash.

[@PrinceOfWhatifsGG]

There was also that time Rory never even came into existence in the first place (before becoming a plastic Roman, with his head filled with Roman stuff.)

[@joshuadenton346]

Danny Pink getting hit by a car out of nowhere was such a lame death. I didn't believe him dead from that until the reveal of his consciousness in the hard drive.

[@Boop__Doop]

K9 deserves his own show

[@theviolentunicorns]

So we're saying someone who was almost killed because of the Doctor's misplaced trust, lived years watching the Doctor work out how to save her at an incredibly slow speed, and was then turned into the first ever Cyberman, then became the fear of everyone she was around which all would've been prevented by a couple seconds difference, is better off than someone who's husband left. Interesting.

[@dearnia2728]

Yeahhh, and no captain Jack on the list, he has literally died more that Rory, in so many horrific ways.
