Line 1,125:
* [[The Watson]]: The role of all the companions, or close enough.
* [[Wealthy Ever After]]:
** In ''The End of Time'', {{spoiler|the Doctor's present to Donna outside her wedding is a lottery ticket
** At the end of "Voyage of the Damned", {{spoiler|The Doctor leaves Mister Copper in London with just the credit card he had put some money on for passengers to buy Earth trinkets. Turns out he underestimated the value of the British Pound and loaded it with a million Pounds}}!
** In "Doomsday", {{spoiler|Rose gets this sort of future since Alternate Universe Pete is a wealthy businessman}}.
* [[Weapons Grade Vocabulary]]: There is a audio Drama where Donna defeats a blob monster with nothing but pure indignation.
* [[We Have Forgotten the Phlebotinum]]:
Line 1,136:
'''The Doctor''': "Alright I'm [[Never Say That Again|never saying that again]], fine!"}}
* [[Welcome to the Liberator]]
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: ''The Reign of Terror'', ''The Massacre'', ''Invasion of the Dinosaurs'', ''Robot'', ''Remembrance of the Daleks''.
* [[Wham! Episode]]:
** ''The End of Time''
** "The Impossible Astronaut". {{spoiler|It ''starts'' with the Doctor's [[Killed Off for Real|Final Death]]. Except not really, but we don't know this for certain until the finale}}.
** And straight after that, "Day of the Moon". {{spoiler|The young girl from the Apollo spacesuit is implied to be Amy's daughter. This possibility is made even more confusing by the fact the TARDIS can't determine whether Amy is actually pregnant or not}}. To top things off, {{spoiler|the girl is seen wandering the streets close to death at the end of the episode...and then it STARTS REGENERATING! Yes, as in Time Lord-style regenerating. River kisses the Doctor at the end of the episode, confirming their relationship is DEFINITELY romantic to some degree}}.
Line 1,157:
* [[World of Badass]]
* [[World of Ham]]
* [[World War One]]: The ending of "The Family of Blood". The war is also alluded to throughout "Human Nature" and "The Family of Blood" Also the setting for the initially visited War Zone in
* [[World War Two]]: The settings of ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/S26/E03 The Curse of Fenric|The Curse of Fenric]]'', "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S27/E09 The Empty Child|The Empty Child]]", "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S27/E10 The Doctor Dances|The Doctor Dances]]", the final scene of "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S31/E02 The Beast Below|The Beast Below]]", "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S31/E03 Victory of the Daleks|Victory of the Daleks]]", {{spoiler|"[[Doctor Who/Recap/S31/E12 The Pandorica Opens|The Pandorica Opens]]" (partially), with "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S31/E13 The Big Bang|The Big Bang]]" using the fires of the London Blitz as a plot point}} and "[[Doctor Who/Recap/2011 CS the Doctor the Widow and the Wardrobe|The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe]]".
* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: So ''very'' many.
** Special mention should be made of "Victory of the Daleks", in which the Daleks run an elaborate [[Xanatos Gambit]] in which pretty much every possible outcome has them come out ahead. {{spoiler|And it works}}!
* [[The X of Y]]: By far the single worst abuser of this trope, guilty of it no less than '''''116 times'''''. Having trouble coming up with an episode title? Try mixing and matching these ones that ''already'' exist.
** '''Column X:''' Age, Aliens, Ambassadors, Androids, Arc, Army, Attack, Bargain, Battle, Bell, Brain, Bride, Brink, Carnival, Cave(s), Change, Claws, Coronas, Crater, Curse (3 times), Dalek Invasion, Day (''5 times''), Death (3 times), Destruction, Dimensions, Edge, End (3 times), Enemy, Escape, Evil, Evolution, Face, Family, Feast, Fires, Forest, Genesis, Guests, Hall, Hand, Horror, Horse, Image, Invasion, Keeper, Keys, Knight, Land, Last, Mark, Masque, Massacre, Mind, Monster, Music, Parting, Planet (''8 times''), Power, Priest, Prisoners, Pyramids, Reign, Remembrance, Revenge, Resurrection, Revelation, Rise, Robots, Roof, Sea, Seeds, Sentence, Snows, Sound, State, Stones, Talons, Temple, Terror (3 times), Time, Tomb, Trap, Tyrant, Vampires, Victory, Voyage, Wall, War, Warriors, Waters, Web, Wedding, Wheel
** '''Column Y:''' Androzani, Angels, Armageddon, Autons, Axos, Black Spot, Blood, Conciergerie, Cybermen (4 times), Daleks (''10 times''), Damned, Danger, Darkness, Dead, Death (''7 times''), Decay, Decision, Deep, Destruction, Dinosaurs, Disaster, Doctor Who, Dolls, Doom, Drums, Earth, Evil (4 times), Fang Rock, Fear (4 times), Fenric, Fendahl, Fire, Fortune, France, Ghosts, Giants, God, Identity, Infinity, Jaffa, Kroll, Lies, London, Madame Guillotine, Mandragora, Marinus, Mars, Monsters, Moon, Morbius, Necessity, Needles, Ood, Peladon, Pompeii, Rani, Reckoning, River Song, Sacrifice, Secrets, Skulls, Spheres, Spiders, Spy, St Bartholomew's Eve, Steel, Steven, Sun, Tara, Terror, Time (''5 times''), Time Lords, Tomorrow, Traken, Venice, Vervoids, Ways, Weng-Chiang, Wits, World (3 times), Zygons
** Statistically the most likely title? ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/S10/E04 Planet of the Daleks|Planet of the Daleks]]''. Also surprisingly high on the list: [[Death Takes a Holiday|The Death of Death]] and [[Groundhog Day|The Day of Time]].
** So overdone that the title convention itself was parodied in
* [[You Already Changed the Past]]: Heavily implied every time the Doctor interacts with and saves a historical figure; the Doctor and companions probably wouldn't remember the celebrity as well or at all if they failed. It's particularly obvious when the Doctor turns out to be responsible for historical events, like the destruction of Pompeii, or the short disappearance and memory loss of Agatha Christie. The Doctor says certain points in history are "fixed", unchangeable, but for plot reasons he never elaborates on which ones.
** One time he is seen clearly changing the past (well, the past relative to the future anyway) is when he saves the crew in "The Waters of Mars". He does manage to save 3 survivors, but {{spoiler|Adelaide Brooke, the important one, kills herself}} to restore the timeline anyway, leaving only cosmetic changes, and giving us a nasty taste of what happens when you change a fixed point.
Line 1,175:
* [[Your Head Asplode]]: The Cybermen, Daleks and others.
* [[You Will Be Assimilated]]: The main objectives of the Cybermen.
* [[You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry]]: The Doctor (Ten and Eleven get special mentions).
* [["You?" Squared]]: used in "Partners in Crime", in which the Doctor and Donna meet for a second time—except they do it in mime, through a window.
* [[Zeerust]]:
