Line 48:
** Rory Williams is very much Adorkable too—especially when he tried to fight off a vampire {{spoiler|okay, a fish-alien}} with a ''broomstick.''
** [[Matt Smith]] is especially Adorkable in real life; a lot of footage from ''[[Doctor Who Confidential]]'' is him gushing about how cool the monsters are.

** Ten's [[Adorkable]] reaches maximum levels when he's a human schoolmaster in ''Human Nature/Family of Blood''.
** The Eighth Doctor has elements of this. He's quite short, often childish, probably even more of a [[Keet]] than Ten, and somewhat lacking in social skills to begin with. As if that wasn't enough, it turns out he's interested in all kinds of geeky things ([[Transformers]], model trains, tractors, comic books, etc.), he occasionally has [[No Social Skills]] whatsoever (he asks one of his companions what makes something a date), and he's a bit of a [[Malaproper]] too, as seen here when he's rather adorably upset about his companions habitually sending him out of the TARDIS alone to make sure it's safe.

** ''And'' his companion Fitz, who's gawky, scruffy, clumsy, and surprisingly bookish. He often lives in his own little world, and despite all his attempts to seem mysterious and dangerous is really just a [[Nice Guy]].
* Tosh from ''[[Torchwood]]''.
Line 74:
* Martin Freeman's [[The Watson|John Watson]], from ''[[Sherlock]]'': a [[Big Damn Hero]] in an oatmeal-coloured woolly jumper. Being [[One Head Taller|much shorter]] than the dramatic and intimidating Sherlock also helps.
** The dramatic and intimidating Sherlock himself actually has a moment of Adorkability himself, after {{spoiler|John proves his complete willingness to lay down his life for him}}. Probably the most [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|adorable]] thing Sherlock's ever done.

* While Sportacus from ''[[LazyTown]]'' is conventionally attractive, well-muscled and very fitness-oriented, many fans still consider him adorkable due to his constant optimism, boyish over-excitement, hopeless naiveté and awkward English. His baby-blue eyes and cheesy grin only help the matter.
* [[John Simm]] in [[Sex Traffic]], with his cute glasses, klutziness, stutter, and darn ''niceness'', fits the bill perfectly.
