* [[Joker Immunity]]: The Daleks, the Master, the Cybermen. Mostly the Master, really. He's a guy who just won't stay dead, and even lampshades it occasionally. The Daleks were in a war that was passing through the fabric of time and space, not to mention a few of them having the capability to make emergency temporal shifts, and thousands more being trapped in Time Lord prisons, waiting to be let out. The Cybermen ''were'' wiped out, but re-emerged from an alternate Earth where they almost took over the world and, again, were hurled through time and space, and that never seems to kill anyone permanently.

* [[Kingpin in His Gym]]: Played for laughs when the Delgado Master, locked up in a sea fortress, exercises on a rowing machine. It doesn't seem to be working, though—the Doctor remarks that the Master has put on weight!

** {{spoiler|It occurs more literally in ''The End Of Time''; after receiving a fatal dose of radiation, the Doctor spends his last hours visiting the people he'd cared about during his tenth life and... well, not so much saying goodbye as helping them out from a distance and then staring sadly at them before wandering off. Except for Rose, whom [[Timey-Wimey Ball|he meets before she met him]] to have one last conversation with her. ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'' says he visited every companion from all his incarnations}}.
