Line 54:
** 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'' -- it's everything the fans had been wanting to see for years. And since he's not invincible that day (long story), he [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|insists on using condoms]].
* 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 E10 Vincent and The Doctor|Vincent van Gogh]]. They become physically close right off the bat, with the Doctor doing a lot of clapping his hand on Vincent's shoulder and such. Then Vincent gets hyped up on coffee and ends up screaming "''[[It Makes Sense in Context|Capture]] my mystery!''" at the Doctor, then awkwardly ''stroking'' his shirt. There are lingering glances, the Doctor comforting Vincent in the depths of his depression, long hugs, and [[
* 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.
Line 67:
** 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 [[Adorkable|adorkableness]] reaches near-fatal levels.
** 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 94:
== 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|Cat Fights]]), and ''Survival'', in which the Les Yay between her and the Cheetah Person Karra is so shameless that when the author [[Word of Gay|complained]] that her [http://www.btinternet.com/~david.darlington/WORDS/RonaMunroInterview.htm intended lesbian innuendo had been censored] most viewers wondered what the hell could have been cut out that could possibly have been shown before the [[Watershed]].
Line 102:
* 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 a Can]] [[Big Bad]] of the 7th Doctor episode "Ghost Light", is about as [[Camp Gay]] as possible.
* The interaction between the Second Doctor and his companion Jamie.
** If by "interaction", you mean [[media:1grope_6685.jpg|getting]] [[media:2grope_7217.jpg|all]] [[media:3grope_5587.jpg|up]] [[media:4grope_2091.jpg|in]] [[media:5grope_9209.jpg|each]] [[media:6grope_1475.jpg|other's]] [[media:7grope_139.jpg|personal]] [[media:8grope_1542.jpg|space,]] [[media:9grope_3281.jpg|then]] [[media:10grope_2357.jpg|YES.]]
** 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 touching -- they ''epitomize'' [[No Sense of Personal Space]]. Jamie is a master of the [[Security Cling]] and, while he'll grab onto his co-companions or random one-off characters who happen to be nearby, clings to the Doctor with truly ridiculous frequency.
** 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 a Kilt|Jamie]] on the Doctor's shoulders -- and the Doctor rather definitely looking up.
** 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:
