* For tropes used in specific episodes of the TV series, go [[Doctor Who/Recap|here]].

Line 243:
** There's also the Wirrn from ''The Ark in Space''.
** "The Rebel Flesh"/"The Almost People" has {{spoiler|Ganger Jennifer}} finding interesting/terrifying ways to change her body, eventually settling on some sort of {{spoiler|gangly demonic hellbeast, all while retaining her original face, more or less}}.
* [[Post MortemBond One -Liner]]: Plenty, but [[Doctor Who/Recap/S31/E02 The Beast Below|Liz 10]] gets in a pretty good example after blowing away one of The Smilers:
{{quote|"I'm the bloody queen, mate; basically, [[Incredibly Lame Pun|I rule]]."}}
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: Given how long running the series was it was inevitable this trope would crop up. In fact virtually every Doctor and companion underwent this trope or the milder [[Brainwashed]] trope at some point in the series as well as guest characters in some stories.
* [[Brandishment Bluff]]: In "Victory of the Daleks", the Doctor convinces the Daleks that a jammie Dodger (a type of cookie) is a super weapon.

* [[Politically-Incorrect Villain]]: The Master (as Harold Saxon) and Jeremy Baines.
* [[Post Mortem One Liner]]: Plenty, but [[Doctor Who/Recap/S31/E02 The Beast Below|Liz 10]] gets in a pretty good example after blowing away one of The Smilers:
{{quote|"I'm the bloody queen, mate; basically, [[Incredibly Lame Pun|I rule]]."}}
* [[Pound of Flesh Twist]]: In ''The Five Doctors'', Time Lord President Borusa, having manipulated the Doctors into granting him access to Rassilon's tomb, claims the reward of immortality promised to the winner of the game of death. Rassilon grants it, which, unfortunately for Borusa, takes the form of being turned into a living statue.
** In "The Hand of Fear". Eldrad the Kastrian, having long ago been executed by his people for attempting to usurp rulership of Kastria, is resurrected on Earth many centuries later. He returns to Kastria to become its ruler, only to find the planet entirely dead. A final message from King Rokon (the king who Eldrad planned to usurp) crowns him 'King of Nothing'.
