** Also used in the [[Big Finish]] Doctor Who drama called "The Skull of Sobek", wherein Lucie and the Eighth Doctor are chosen as the champions of the two big bads, who have been feuding for centuries. The Doctor won't have anything to do with it, but Lucie falls prey to her big bad's mind control and becomes hell-bent on killing him. During the ensuing fight (though it's probably more accurately described as a chase because the Doctor won't hurt Lucie and in the end she didn't land any blows anyway), he never actually uses the phrase "I know you're in there somewhere," but he says just about everything else you might expect.
** Subverted in "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S13/E03 Pyramids of Mars|Pyramids of Mars]]" where Laurence Scarman tries to get through to his brother Marcus, who is under the control of Sutekh. Even though the Doctor told him point blank that his real brother was dead, Marcus refuses to believe him and ends up paying the ultimate price for it.
** Lots of new Doctor Who series episodes have this. The only one who manages to play it straight is The Doctor himself in "[[Doctor Who/Recap/NS/S3S29/E07 42|42]]" when ''a friggin sun possesses him''. All those who come in contact with it though don't end too good, despite the ship's captain hoping her lover is still in there somewhere. [[My Friends and Zoidberg|Oh and]] that [[Pig Man]] in ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/NS/S3S29/E04 Daleks in Manhattan|Daleks in Manhattan]]''.
** Double subverted in ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/NS/S4S30/E08 Silence in the Library|Silence In The Library]]'', where the [[Sexy Secretary]] isn't expected to fight or "survive", well, death, but in [[Doctor Who/Recap/NS/S4S30/E09 Forest of the Dead|the next episode]], she did exactly that, turning into a Cyber Ghost.
* A rare non-magical version pops up in ''[[Criminal Minds]]''. Reid begs the kinder personality to take control of the UnSub with multiple personalities who's about to kill Reid. This fails, and he ends up killing the UnSub. Then, as the guy lies dying...
{{quote|'''Tobias''': ''[after Reid shot him, regarding his evil personality]'' You killed him.
