The Big Doctor Who Death Count

I gave up writing this page about an hour after I started because doing the actual counting was too much like hard work. In an ideal world I would take this page down but since Doctor Who Confidential stole almost verbatim some of what I'd written I feel I have to keep it here due to an odd sense of pride. And it's also quite funny that the Confidential programme may have got their facts wrong simply because I haven't counted properly, or if there is a more violent episode that I hadn't yet watched!

Violence on screen is a big issue these days and one point raised is whether its worsened over time. Doctor Who looks tame to modern audiences but its interesting to note just how much death is portrayed in certain stories. The count begins...

Some Fun Facts About Doctor Who Deaths so far

Most Violent Start:
Ressurrection of the Daleks has 7 deaths in the first minute making it one of the most deadly sequences ever.

Most Violent Single Episode: Resurrection of the Daleks 1 has 21 deaths alone making it one of the most violent Doctor Who episodes ever.

Fastest Death: Dalek Invasion of Earth 1 opens with a Roboman ripping off his helmet and drowning himself in the Thames. His body is floating face down in the water within 26 seconds of the opening credits finishing.

Least Deathly Story: *The Carnival of Monsters appears to have no deaths at all however in the final sequence Kalik is menaced by a Drashig and its fairly clear he is meeting his demise as he is never seen again.


Violence from the Doctor

The Doctor is often said to be a pacifist, totally against violence or weapons of any sort. The reality is that the Doctor has used physical force many times.

  • An Unearthly Child - The Doctor picks up a rock with the intention of murdering the caveman that is slowing them down, in order that the group can escape.

  • Day of the Daleks - The Doctor carries a gun around and shoots dead an Ogron as it walks towards him

  • Seeds of Doom - The Doctor jumps in through a window, punches someone in the stomach, rams his head into a fireplace and then smashes a chair over his head
  • Attack of the Cybermen - The Doctor uses a Cyberman's gun to shoot two Cybermen
