Line 7:
"Yes, Jamie, it is a big one."
(For the interested, you can read a blow-by-blow account (pun unintended) of every suspicious moment from almost the entire series ''and'' spinoffs (though the DW section stops with ''The Waters of Mars'') [https://web.archive.org/web/20140101184204/http://www.nyder.com/stuff/whosqueer.html here.] )
== The Master ==
* The new series couldn't have pushed the [[Foe Yay/Live-Action TV/Doctor Who|tension between the Doctor and the Master]] much further, with exchanges like:
{{quote|
'''Doctor:''' Master.
'''Master:''' I like it when you use my name. }}
* And this one:
{{quote|
'''Doctor''': I wonder what I'd be without you.
'''Master''': ''[first speechless, then, tearfully]'' Yeah. }}
* Their whole phone conversation in "The Sound of Drums" is, in between explaining how the Master survived the Time War, basically the Doctor trying to persuade the Master to have a long term relationship with him and the Master trying to get the Doctor to have phone sex with him. It hovers between text and subtext. ''Especially'' the (in)famous [[Say My Name]] bit above, where the Master's reaction to hearing his name is closing his eyes and literally ''sighing with pleasure.''
* And it becomes practically canonical when the Doctor's [[The Nth Doctor|past self]] asks him:
{{quote|
'''Tenth Doctor''': No, no beard this time. Well, [[The Beard|a wife]]. }}
* Not that this is anything new. Roger Delgado's Master in particular was especially, er, flirty, Jon Pertwee's Doctor wavering between amusement and flirting right back, while Anthony Ainley's Master was one limp wrist away from full blown [[Camp Gay]]. Not to mention that he practically breathes [[Freud Was Right]] (I mean for fjord's sake, ''his name is the Master'').
Line 36:
== Jack Harkness ==
[[Memetic Sex God|Captain Jack Harkness]] exhibits [[Extreme Omnisexual|rampant omnisexuality]] and a proclivity for flirting with anything that can say hi. He also kissed the Doctor before any of the other new companions did. In fact, his spinoff show, ''[[
* As for the Doctor, he's occasionally flirted right back at him.
{{quote|
'''The Doctor''': I'm sure he would, Rose, I'm absolutely certain. But who with? }}
* The Doctor's also continually curtailing Jack's attempts to flirt with everyone they meet (male, female, or indeterminate) -- allegedly because otherwise they'd never get anything done. It often sounds more like someone's just jealous...
* The beginning of "Boom Town":
{{quote|
'''Jack''': Aw, sweet, look at these two. How come I never get any of that?
'''The Doctor''': Buy me a drink first.
'''Jack''': Such hard work.
'''The Doctor''': But worth it! (grins) }}
* "The Parting of the Ways", where he [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|kisses both Rose and the Doctor]] ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRAkeZoS_v4 here] at about 2:46) on the lips before he goes off to his [[Heroic Sacrifice]]... *[[Tear Jerker|sniff]]*
* During their conversation in "Utopia", the room full of deadly radiation was probably the only thing that kept one of them from jumping the other during that scene.
* Jack makes little secret of the fact that he absolutely bloody adores the Doctor to the point of ''[[A Love to Dismember|keeping his severed hand in a jar]]'' in ''Torchwood'' for two years, and reacting ''very emotionally'' when the container is threatened (and then shattered).
{{quote|
** And at the end of the first series season finale of ''[[
** After Jack [[Came Back Wrong]], he spent the first few weeks getting extremely drunk, searching for the Doctor and yelling "I'M GOING TO KISS HIM, AND THEN I'M GOING TO KILL HIM."
* It finally reached a frenzy when [[David Tennant]] kissed [[John Barrowman]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbGyCZxNLJw at Comic-con.] Listen to the video, the fandom (and Barrowman) nearly ''implodes!''
* Jack finally, properly, gets a sex scene in season 4 episode 3 of ''[[Torchwood]]''. It's '''utterly magnificent''' and bordering on softcore porn. From the moment he grabs Brad's face and pushes him to his knees, to the quite sudden role reversal and Jack getting pounded ''hard''
* Also, Ten's very final parting gift to Jack: {{spoiler|playing wingman to hook him up with Alonso}}.
Line 61:
* The very first episode of Eleven's tenure has him borrowing a [[Mr. Fanservice|hunky guy]]'s laptop, and later in the episode he refers to him as "Amy's friend... the good-looking one". It helps that Jeff seems perfectly happy to let the Doctor get all in his personal space. Are we sure it's a ''girl''friend Jeff needs?
* Eleven also kept running an appreciative eye over Bill Nighy as a museum curator in an episode because he likes his bow ties.
* Eleven and [[Doctor Who/Recap/S31
* Eleven and Rory have a bit of this going on from the moment they meet, mainly due to Eleven's complete disregard for personal space and their [[Foe Yay]] filled rivalry caused by Amy.
** There is a [http://youtu.be/Ix6omvPYXWI cut scene] from "The Hungry Earth" where Eleven gets distracted wondering where Rory is, before stating almost dreamily that "I like him. A ''lot''." It's adorable and most definitely should have been left in.
** And then in "Cold Blood" Rory {{spoiler|dies to save Eleven}}. Which is followed by Eleven telling Amy to {{spoiler|remember "funny, gorgeous Rory"}}.
** Can't forget the bit in "Amy's Choice" where the Dream Lord has just sent the three of them off to sleep in one world, and they wake up on a park bench... and the Doctor's head has fallen onto Rory's shoulder into a [[Headbutt of Love]]. They both kind of freak, and the [[
** Speaking of Eleven's personal space issues, Rory is definitely the most frequent recipient of Doc's hello face-touches.
** During a scene in "Day of the Moon" when they've all faked their deaths to get into Area 51 and are taken into the Doctor's prison via bodybags, it's Rory who the Doctor goes for straight away and you can see him [[Anywhere but Their Lips|kissing his forehead]] to one side of the screen.
** In "A Good Man Goes To War", when Amy and Rory are finally reunited with Melody, they start crying and making out just as the Doctor walks in. He is hastily trying to excuse himself when Rory points his sword at him and ''demands'' he come back.
* "The Lodger" is pretty much a mass of [[Ho Yay]] directed at Craig. Eleven strokes him constantly, displays a complete disregard for his personal space and grabbed him at at least one point (although that was for the purposes of telepathy). The Ho Yay of this episode peaked with Eleven stroking Craig's face when he was poisoned and incapacitated, and tenderly saying "You're important". Not to mention Eleven's lack of hesitation in approaching both Craig and Sophie while wearing only a towel.
Line 88:
** There is much more, to the point no fan would be surprised if one of the EDAs ended with, "And then the Doctor and Fitz went back to the TARDIS and shagged." To see more examples, check [http://community.livejournal.com/who_otp/188826.html here] and [http://community.livejournal.com/ship_manifesto/157884.html here].
* And last but not least, [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|their first meeting is rife with meaning]]. Fitz is working in a plant shop, lamenting how his life is being wasted away, when the Doctor shows up and tries to purchase a very symbolic flower.

"This begonia? But it's nearly dead."
"I know. I intend to rescue it." }}
== Others ==
* Writers [[Paul Cornell]], [[Russell T. Davies]] and [[Steven Moffat]] all merrily ship the Doctor with guys, and have all explicitly stated that the innuendo is very much on purpose. Current show-runner [[Steven Moffat]] is of the opinion that the Doctor has been flirty with his male and female companions since ever, and that the Doctor, in fact, can't be bothered with silly human concepts of "gay" and "straight". He's also the guy who invented Captain Jack Harkness, and has casually stated that River Song was probably involved with her ''entire'' archaeology crew.
* Leela, Romana, and Ace all seemed to get interestingly chummy with the female guest stars.
** And then Leela and Romana became co-stars in the ''[[Gallifrey]]'' audio series. They spend an entire story visiting a spa planet to unwind together and talk about their relationship.
** In ''The Robots of Death'', Toos seems unusually attached to Leela, to the point that she requested Leela check on her arm again even after a robot offered to take her to Sickbay.
** Oh wow [[Butch Lesbian|Ace]]. She gets suspiciously chummy with a female guest cast member in almost every story. We really have to give special mentions to ''Ghost Light'' (in which she [[Bifauxnen|dresses up in Victorian male evening dress for no apparent reason]], and then has two separate [[Cat Fight
** Mel and Ace in ''Dragonfire''.
* There's a memorable moment between Shakespeare and the Tenth Doctor in "The Shakespeare Code", resulting in the line, "[[wikipedia:Sonnet 57|Fifty-seven academics]] just punched the air."
* Light, the [[Our Angels Are Different|angelic]] [[Sealed Evil in
* The interaction between the Second Doctor and his companion Jamie.
** If by "interaction", you mean [[media:
** They hug constantly, they flirt, they banter like an old married couple, and of all the companion/Doctor relationships, they seem most like a dynamic duo rather than "the extraordinary Doctor and his amazed companion along for the ride". We may as well add that Jamie was the first Old Who companion to be name-dropped in the revived show: Ten used his name as an alias in "Tooth and Claw".
** Not just constant hugging, but constant
** There's also that moment when the Doctor fondles Jamie's sporran, and a scene which only survives in telesnaps but which depicts [[Man in
** In the serial ''The Evil of the Daleks'', when the Doctor has to manipulate Jamie as part of a plot and Jamie finds out, he tells the Doctor "We're finished!" and refuses to touch him. It doesn't last long.
* Turlough. He clearly has a crush on the Doctor. There's also this line, from the commentary on Turlough's first episode, on the subject of why the Doctor trusts him so easily:
{{quote|
* Wilf almost has a mancrush on the Doctor.
* Malcolm? Hero-worship is understandable, but running up to the Doctor, hugging him ''very'' tightly, and saying "I love you!" over and over is a ''bit'' different.
Line 118:
* Adric was briefly mentioned before, but not in his own entry, which he certainly has enough Ho Yay factor with both Four AND Five to qualify for. Lots of longing glances, and thoroughly unneccesary compliments of the Doctor, such as one bit where he says something along the lines of "Oh, Doctor, your handwriting is just lovely," in this really quite suggestive way.
* In the 2011 Comic Relief Red Nose Day mini episode "Time": Amy Pond and {{spoiler|[[Screw Yourself|Amy Pond]]}}.
{{quote|
'''{{spoiler|Amy}}''': I'll bet you would.
'''The Doctor''': Oh, this is how it all ends. Pond, flirting with {{spoiler|herself}}. True love at last. ''[remembers that Amy's husband is also present]'' Oh, sorry Rory.
'''Rory''': ''[nearly catatonic]'' ...absolutely no problem at all... }}
* In "The Impossible Astronaut", the Doctor casually mentions that two of the founding fathers had a thing for him.
* Madame Vastra and her chambermaid Jenny from "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S32
* In "The Invasion", Isobel is quite clear that she only wants to photograph Zoe, not Jamie. And then she gets Zoe to wear a miniskirt, and [[Panty Shot|photographs her from floor level]].
* There is a definite, if subtle, romantic undertone to Rumford and Fay's relationship in "The Stones of Blood". Mary Tamm herself said "We were all so innocent back then" when the [[Les Yay]] was pointed out to her.
Line 129:
* A [[Yuri Fan]] will be able to wonder why Ping-Cho in "Marco Polo" was so anxious for Susan to say "goodbye" to her, even if there might be nothing to the pairing.
* In "Daleks in Manhattan", Martha seems way too excited to watch Tallulah's dance number.
* "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S25
