History Recap / DoctorWhoS33E6TheBellsOfSaintJohn

The Doctor traces the signal to the Shard (the tallest building in Western Europe as of 2013) and takes his anti-grav motorbike there as soon as he can, riding vertically up the building. He confronts the ConsummateProfessional woman in charge. And reveals that it was a distraction -- he's actually still enjoying his coffee at the café, watching over Clara's lifeless form. The spoonhead-with-the-Doctor's-face takes off its helmet and draws the CEO into the network, then manipulates the corporation into shutting down ''everything''. By that time, UNIT have arrived. To the supreme annoyance of the villain behind it all: the [[Recap/DoctorWhoS5E2TheAbominableSnowmen Great]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoS5E5TheWebOfFear Intelligence]], [[Recap/DoctorWho2012CSTheSnowmen still played by]] Creator/RichardEGrant. The people enslaved into working at the corporation finally snap out of their hypnosis. Sadly for the CEO, who's easily in her 50s, her hypnosis seems to have lasted about 50 years. She's ''terrified'' when she sees UNIT soldiers surrounding her and timidly asks where her mummy and daddy are.

JustForFun/{{The one w|ith}}here the Doctor swaps out his tweed duds for purple studs, rides a motorbike up the Shard, the TARDIS phone ''rings'', and no one knows where they are. It's also the one where the Doctor finds the proper version of the woman who would be considered his soulmate. Oh, and it's also the one with killer spoons.

Alternatively, the one with [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLIberty the not-Patriots]].

* RapidFireTyping: Whenever hacking takes place -- which is frequently -- it involves the characters mashing keys as if they're playing ''[[UsefulNotes/ZXSpectrum Daley Thompson's Decathlon]]''.

The Doctor has found a tremendously quiet place: a medieval monastery. When the local monks inform him that his TARDIS phone is ringing, there's a modern-day Clara Oswald on the other end, working as a governess and calling for tech support (she got the number from "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E12DeathInHeaven the woman in the shop... She said it's the best helpline in the universe]]"). She asks him where the Internet went. And she has no idea who he is. After the Doctor vworps to her space/time coordinates, with a gorgeous new outfit, he finds Clara about to be uploaded into a London-wide wi-fi network, through a very creepy spoon-headed robot thing. He hacks into the system and draws her back to reality, pissing off the leaders of a very evil corporation which is uploading people through wi-fi from all over the world.

[[caption-width-right:350:Yep, the problem of the week involves Wi-Fi. [[ParanoiaFuel Be afraid.]]]]

The one where the Doctor swaps out his tweed duds for purple studs, rides a motorbike up the Shard, the TARDIS phone ''rings'', and no one knows where they are. It's also the one where the Doctor finds the proper version of the woman who would be considered his soulmate. Oh, and it's also the one with killer spoons.

** The Intelligence comments UNIT are "very old friends" of the Doctor, as UNIT was formed in the aftermath of the Intelligence's attack on London in the '60s. This technically also makes them old friends of the Intelligence as well, since it was the reason for their formation.

* RobotMe: The Doctor converts one of the spoonheads into his double.

* DuelingHackers: The Doctor and Alexei duke it out for Clara's soul the first time they try to upload her with a spoonhead, with much RapidFireTyping, and bits of code appearing on the screen, zipping back and forth to represent each 'side'.

** In his [[DuellingHackers hacking duel]] with the Doctor, the symbols that come up to represent Alexei's side aren't typical English letters and symbols, like what the Doctor is using. Instead, they're alien glyphs, hinting that a non-human is involved.

* [[DuelingHackers Duelling Hackers]]: The Doctor and Alexei duke it out for Clara's soul the first time they try to upload her with a spoonhead, with much RapidFireTyping, and bits of code appearing on the screen, zipping back and forth to represent each 'side'.

* AndIMustScream: The people stuck in the WiFi are trapped in little TV screens with absolutely no way to call for outside help while the Great Intelligence feeds on them.
* AndThatLittleGirlWasMe: The man in the opening gives a lengthy explanation about the mysterious WiFi network and its dangers, before revealing that his knowledge comes from first-hand experience of its effects.

** The WiFi password for the Maitland house is rycbar123, which Angie tells Clara to remember with the mnemonic, "Run You Clever Boy And Remember".

* BrainUploading: Miss Kizlet's plan involves uploading the minds of intelligent humans into a WiFi computer cloud so the Intelligence can feed on them indefinitely.

* CameBackStrong: After her mind is restored, Clara goes from not knowing how to log onto a WiFi network to being a super-hacker. Miss Kizlet said that they would buff her computer skills when she was uploaded, so that is presumably the source. Later episodes imply that these new skills eventually disappeared.

* ClipboardOfAuthority: Miss Kizlet's tablet, which she uses to control the emotions/skills of her employees. Even when she uses the WiFi to control other people, they hold a clipboard substitute, such as a magazine or a tray or a newspaper of chips.

* DeathIsCheap: It depends of whether or not you consider the episode's method of yanking out your soul and uploading it to the WiFi a death or a [[FateWorseThanDeath fate worse than]], and whether or not both instances shown "count" since one wasn't completed, but you could say that Clara bit the dust twice in this episode, once at the bottom of the staircase, the second at the café. This leaves her with four deaths in three episodes. Not even Rory can compete with that.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The call Clara makes to the Doctor for WiFi help may seem quite familiar to anyone with Tech Support experience.

* EverythingIsOnline: Everything is connected to the WiFi. Laptops, streetlights, aeroplanes, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick people]]...
-->'''Clara:''' Is the WiFi switching on the lights!?\\
'''The Doctor:''' No, the people are switching on the lights; the WiFi is switching on the people.

* ExpositionFairy: The man at the beginning helpfully explains what the bad guys are doing, before revealing that he, too, is trapped in the WiFi.
* FadSuper: The story gives us Twitter 'Egg' WiFi monsters from The Shard (which had been recently completed).

* LaserGuidedKarma: Miss Kizlet, in her remote confrontation with the Doctor, compares her employer's harvesting process to a farmer tending a flock of cattle, coldly remarking that "the abattoir is not a contradiction; no one loves cattle more than Burger King." She gains a very different view of the situation when the Doctor uploads ''her'' into the WiFi at the end, putting her in the shoes of one of the "cattle".
** Both she and her staff, who've been trapping innocent people in the Wifi crying "I don't know where I am!", are left wondering where ''they'' are and how they got there in the real world, albeit mercifully not forever.

* MeatPuppet: Sufficient exposure to WiFi will make anyone this to Miss Kizlet. She can switch them off, use them as mouthpieces, direct their movements, etc.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The Doctor's shocked yell when Clara reveals who she is by repeating "Run, you clever boy, and remember" distracts her sufficiently to result in her typing the password wrong. Thinking it will not work, she instead clicks the WiFi link that gives the bad guys access to her.

* OneDialogueTwoConversations: When Clara's talking to the Doctor on the phone about her WiFi, he incredulously points out that it's 1207. She assumes he's talking about it being 12:07pm where he is; he's actually talking about the year he's currently in.

* ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish: Averted; the WiFi password for Clara's network is "rycbar123", a reasonably strong password containing six semi-random letters[[note]]The numbers "123" are closer to the trope; they might be tacked on to satisfy a "must include digits" rule[[/note]]. This becomes significant when Clara uses "Run You Clever Boy And Remember" as a mnemonic to remember it, alerting the Doctor to who she is.

* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: The Doctor kisses Clara's forehead after saving her from the Spoonhead. When he does this the second time, he strokes her hair, causing Clara to sleepily whisper, "Doctor..." D'awwww.

* AndIMustScream: The people stuck in the wi-fi are trapped in little TV screens with absolutely no way to call for outside help, while "the client" feeds on them for possibly the rest of time.
* AndThatLittleGirlWasMe: The man in the opening gives a lengthy explanation about the mysterious wi-fi network and its dangers, before revealing that his knowledge comes from first-hand experience of its effects.
* ArcWords: The wi-fi password for the house Clara is staying at is rycbar123, which Clara remembers with the mnemonic "Run, You Clever Boy, And Remember". When the Doctor introduces himself, Clara replies "Doctor who?"
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: According to Clara, [[spoiler:who got a phone number from Missy (though she didn't ''know'' it was Missy), Missy referred to the Doctor as "the best helpline in the universe" and from someone who's spent over a thousand years trying to ''kill'' him, that's praise.]]
* BadassBiker: The Doctor rides a motorbike ''up the Shard'', and yet he still came in ''last'' when competing in the Anti-Grav Olympics in 2074. The others must have been even more badass.
** Miss Kizlet (through one of her PeoplePuppets) remarks how a motorbike just doesn't seem [[Recap/DoctorWhoTVMTheTVMovie like the Doctor's style]]. [[Recap/DoctorWhoS8E5TheDaemons He gives an "are you kidding me" look.]]

* BiggerOnTheInside: The Doctor has to rush Clara through the usual WTF reaction of the TARDIS' interior.

* BrainUploading: Miss Kizlet's plan involves uploading the minds of intelligent humans into a wi-fi computer cloud so "the client" can feed on them indefinitely.
* BullyingADragon: "The client" knows the Doctor and even warned Miss Kizlet about him. This doesn't stop her from mocking the Doctor and believing herself unbeatable. The Doctor responds by destroying that arrogance.

** The Doctor comments repeatedly on Clara acquiring attributes of the previous Claras through unlikely events, such as becoming a nanny after her friend died suddenly, becoming a hacker after the villains nearly uploaded her brain and choosing the portmanteau "Oswin" ("'''Os'''wald for the '''win'''") as a user name on a whim.
** "The client" comments UNIT are "very old friends" of the Doctor, as UNIT was formed in the aftermath of the Intelligence's attack on London in the '60s. This technically also makes them old friends of the Intelligence as well, since it was the reason for their formation.

* CameBackStrong: After her mind is restored, Clara goes from not knowing how to log onto a wi-fi network to being a super-hacker. Miss Kizlet said that they would buff her computer skills when she was uploaded, so that is presumably the source.

* CelebrityParadox: While searching for the TARDIS, the people in the Shard apparently had an "embarrassment" involving the police box outside the Earl's Court Tube station -- which is a replica installed in 1996.

* ClipboardOfAuthority: Miss Kizlet's tablet, which she uses to control the emotions/skills of her employees. Even when she uses the wi-fi to control other people, they hold a clipboard substitute, such as a magazine or a tray.

* CouchGag: The title has a grey-ish texture, resembling the Shard. Note: up to this point in the series, the title logo has changed with each episode; however, this is abandoned after this episode and remaining episodes retain the same texture as seen here.

** Faced with the Shard in LockDown, the Doctor uses his anti-gravity motorcycle to ride up the side and smash through the window.
* DeathIsCheap: It depends of whether or not you consider the episode's method of yanking out your soul and uploading it to the wi-fi a death or a [[FateWorseThanDeath fate worse than]], and whether or not both instances shown "count" since one wasn't completed, but you could say that Clara bit the dust twice in this episode, once at the bottom of the staircase, the second at the café. This leaves her with four deaths in three episodes. Not even Rory can compete with that.
* DeclarationOfProtection: When the Doctor saves Clara the first time from a spoonhead, he sends her would-be kidnappers one message: ''"Under my protection"''. They surmise he is referring to Clara (accurately, given his clear protectiveness towards her throughout the episode), but it's likely he's also referring to the human race as a whole given his tendency to act as [[TheChampion their champion]].
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The call Clara makes to the Doctor for wi-fi help may seem quite familiar to anyone with Tech Support experience.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Miss Kizlet feels that killing off an underling is much more reasonable if they let the guy enjoy his holiday vacation first.
* EverythingIsOnline: Everything is connected to the wi-fi. Laptops, streetlights, aeroplanes, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick people]]...
-->'''Clara:''' Is the wi-fi switching on the lights!?\\
'''The Doctor:''' No, the people are switching on the lights; the wi-fi is switching on the people.

* ExpositionFairy: The man at the beginning helpfully explains what the bad guys are doing, before revealing that he, too, is trapped in the wi-fi.
* FadSuper: The story gives us gives us Twitter 'Egg' Wi-Fi monsters from The Shard (which had been recently completed).

* FiveSecondForeshadowing: The Doctor's mention of the Anti-Grav Olympics.

** So we have an old enemy of the Doctor's who hasn't been seen in a while setting up a secret base in a London landmark where unwitting human employees upload human minds to a data cloud for nefarious purposes. Is that ''this'' episode, or the MythArc of Series 8?
** This one foreshadows events that will occur at the very end of Clara's travels with the Doctor two seasons later: [[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E10FaceTheRaven she is wearing a necklace in the form of a raven]].

** ''Summer Falls'', the book Clara loans to Artie, was written by Amy (credited on the cover as Amelia Williams).

* FromNobodyToNightmare: [[BadBoss Miss Kizlet]] and [[NumberTwo Mahler]]. The former had been nurtured by the Great Intelligence since she was a young girl, while the latter was originally hired at the Shard to fix the ''toilets''.

* GreaterScopeVillain: The Great Intelligence is the one pulling the strings behind Miss Kizlet and her operation. [[spoiler: [[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E12DeathInHeaven It would also later be revealed the woman]] who set the Eleventh Doctor and Clara up in this episode was actually the Master.]]

** When Clara was being uploaded her computer skills were boosted to make her more useful. When the Doctor reversed the upload her increased computer skills remained, and she was thus able to use these against the bad guys and hack ''them''.

* HypocriticalHumour:
** The Doctor explains how dangerous the TARDIS could be in the wrong hands... and lets go of his motorbike while explaining it. Sure yours are the right hands, Doctor?
** It's lucky for the Doctor the TARDIS can close her doors of her own accord when he exited with the motorbike and left the doors wide open in front of a bunch of people.

* InsistentTerminology: As Miss Kizlet reminds Alexei, they're called "Servers", not "''[[InSeriesNickname Spoonheads]]''".
* InvisibleParents: Clara's parents are never seen here. Her father is only briefly mentioned and her mother appears in the prequel. We get a few hints why in the next episode.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Miss Kizlet, in her remote confrontation with the Doctor, compares her employer's harvesting process to a farmer tending a flock of cattle, coldly remarking that "the abattoir is not a contradiction; no one loves cattle more than Burger King." She gains a very different view of the situation when the Doctor uploads ''her'' into the wi-fi at the end, putting her in the shoes of one of the "cattle".

** Eleven emphasizes how much he ''loves'' to hear [[TitleDrop "Doctor who?"]]

'''Artie Maitland:''' [[Creator/DavidTennant Ten]].\\

* LetsSplitUpGang: While hacking into the Shard, Clara insists that the Doctor go and get coffee. Naturally, she gets uploaded in the five minutes he's gone.

* MeanwhileInTheFuture: Briefly, when Clara (in the 21[[superscript:st]] century A.D.) phones the Doctor (in the 13[[superscript:th]] century A.D.).
* MeatPuppet: Sufficient exposure to wi-fi will make anyone this to Miss Kizlet. She can switch them off, use them as mouthpieces, direct their movements, etc.

** ''[[ButtMonkey Alexei]]'' is so incompetent that Miss Kizlet plans on [[YouHaveFailedMe having him killed]].
** Mahler also appears to have some nagging doubts about what they're doing. In both cases, it's implied they've only been mind-controlled relatively recently.

* MoralityDial: Miss Kizlet's tablet can be used to adjust the personality traits of her employees. Mahler gets his paranoia and obedience messed with at various points, and Alexei gets an IQ boost so he can cook up a clever solution to take care of the Doctor.
* MundaneUtility: The Doctor uses the TARDIS to pull a 'disappearing and reappearing blue box' trick, so he can pick up some ready cash from bystanders. Given that the 'disappearing' would have been done in an earlier adventure, he's clearly been doing this more than once.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The Doctor's shocked yell when Clara reveals who she is by repeating "Run, you clever boy, and remember" distracts her sufficiently to result in her typing the password wrong. Thinking it will not work, she instead clicks the wi-fi link that gives the bad guys access to her.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain:
** Clara is able to trace the bad guys because they all updated their various social networks with the building where they worked.
** Clara was only able to hack their systems because they made her a computer super-genius when she was being uploaded the first time.

** Missy - entirely off-screen; she gave Clara the telephone number and got her with the Doctor - sure, it ''was'' for selfish reasons - but it did help fix everything.

* NoNonsenseNemesis: The first thing the bad guys do when they know the Doctor's getting involved is try to crash a plane into him, having rejected even less subtle options.

* NoTimeToExplain: The Doctor is somewhat rushed as an airliner is about to crash on their heads, so he has to haul Clara Oswald into the TARDIS, materialize on board and race into the cockpit without the time to appreciate her BiggerOnTheInside reaction.
-->'''The Doctor:''' ''(very fast)'' I'm the Doctor; I'm an alien from outer space; I'm a thousand years old; I've got two hearts; [[SuddenlyShouting AND I CAN'T FLY A PLANE! CAN YOU?!]]

** Miss Kizlet, when she realises that it's not the Doctor in her office but a spoonhead.

* OneDialogueTwoConversations: When Clara's talking to the Doctor on the phone about her wi-fi, he incredulously points out that it's 1207. She assumes he's talking about the hour; he's talking about the year he's currently in.

* ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish: Averted; the wi-fi password for Clara's network is "rycbar123", a reasonably strong password containing six semi-random letters[[note]]The numbers "123" are closer to the trope; they might be tacked on to satisfy a "must include digits" rule[[/note]]. This becomes significant when Clara uses "Run You Clever Boy And Remember" as a mnemonic to remember it, alerting the Doctor to who she is.

* PunchClockVillain: This is implied to be the case with most of the people working at the Shard. One of them was the ''janitor''.

* TheReveal: The "client" turns out to be the Great Intelligence, played by Creator/RichardEGrant!

* RoboticReveal: The Spoonheads go through a lengthy TransformationSequence when they reveal their true nature. None of their victims try to escape while they are doing this, suggesting either that it's quicker in-universe or they have the ability to immobilise their prey first.

* SaintlyChurch: In the prequel, the Doctor goes to look for a quiet and peaceful place to further his search for Clara. He finds the cloister for an order of monks that are a-ok with a "mad monk" living with them.

* SchmuckBait: The villains' plan hinges on people clicking on the available wi-fi network which is labelled in gibberish.
* SelfPlagiarism: In the beginning, when people are logging into different Wi-Fi networks, the imposed text on the screen looks quite a lot like [[Series/{{Sherlock}} a certain other series by Steven Moffat]].

* ShownTheirWork: Clara's claim that she can find the bad guys by focusing on the people, not the computers, and use of social networking, mirrors real-life security concerns. For example, ''the head of UsefulNotes/MI6'' [[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/facebook/5750428/MI6-chiefs-security-compromised-by-wifes-Facebook-postings.html was compromised by his wife's postings]].

* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: The Doctor identifies Clara over the phone when she uses "Run, you clever boy, and remember" as a mnemonic for her wi-fi password.

* SpreadingDisasterMapGraphic: One of the wi-fi network, made up of blue lines with red patches spreading to show the Great Intelligence's takeover.

* StealthPun: The Great Intelligence uses a "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS5E5TheWebOfFear Web of Fear]]" in this adventure. Here, "web" refers to the internet.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: When a strange man shows up at the door, dressed like a monk, highly amused by the phrase "Doctor Who?", and heavily convinced that he knows her, Clara promptly closes and locks the door.
* SweetTooth: The Doctor's love for Jammie Dodgers returns, and seeing him walk around at a café messing about with the cakes is like watching a kid in a candy store (which being [[ManChild the Doctor,]] he kind of is).

'''The Doctor:''' Did you even hear the words "Anti-Grav"?\\

** "The bells of Saint John are ringing!" (the medieval monks' way of saying that the TARDIS phone is ringing; it's not like they would know what a phone is).

* TrivialTitle. The title refers to the TARDIS phone ringing and has nothing to do with the Evil Wi-Fi plot at all.

* VillainousBreakdown: Miss Kizlet does ''not'' react well to being uploaded into the wi-fi network. She starts screaming demands to be downloaded back into her body.

* TheXOfY: "The Bells of Saint John" is '''#119''' -- wouldn't be ''Who'' otherwise, would it?
* YouGetMeCoffee: You just know a Companion is going to be special when she has the chops to tell this to the Doctor.
* YouHaveFailedMe: What they plan for Alexei -- but only once he gets back from his holiday. Later, when the Doctor manipulates them into releasing everyone from the Cloud, Miss Kizlet inverts it by proactively informing her client that they have failed him.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Subtly set up, then quickly subverted: rather than kill his underlings, "the client" orders Miss Kizlet to activate every employee's "reset" protocol, erasing all memories from when they started their work with the organization but leaving them alive. As Miss Kizlet's memories of working for "the client" apparently started when she was a very young girl, this may not be quite a mercy for her.

* AluminiumChristmasTrees: Never heard of quadricycles? [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadracycle They exist. They've existed since the 1850s]].

* GreaterScopeVillain: The Great Intelligence is the one pulling the strings behind Miss Kizlet and her operation. [[spoiler: [[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E12DeathInHeaven It would also later be revealed the woman who set the Eleventh Doctor and Clara up in this episode was actually the Master.]]

* BittersweetEnding: The world might have been saved, but the fate of Miss Kizlet -- who suddenly finds herself mentally a little girl again, likely about to learn both her parents are dead or very old -- is one of the most depressing denouements in the series' history.

** The book the Maitland son is reading is by Amelia Williams -- Amy Pond.

* CostumeEvolution: The Doctor wore tweed when the Ponds accompanied him. When he rummages for his old threads after spending a while with them in disuse to ditch the monk getup, the Doctor finds a new jacket in his wardrobe. He chucks the tweed aside and adopts this purple one for keeps, also pairing it with pants that reach down to his ankles and a waistcoat to add a little Victorian flair from his time in that era. And of course, a new dark bowtie.

** When Miss Kizlet argues shutting down their cloud would kill most of the minds trapped inside, the Doctor matter-of-factly states that death would be preferable to suffering forever trapped as a spirit in the wireless cloud.
** Miss Kizlet [[LaserGuidedAmnesia reverts to the mind of a small child]] in the body of a post-menopausal woman.

* [[DuelingHackers Duelling Hackers]]: The Doctor and Alexei duke it out for Clara's soul the first time they try to upload her with a spoonhead.

* BeepingComputers: The Doctor's "under my protection" ultimatum appears complete with teletype noises.

-->'''Alexei:''' ''[watching the Doctor ride up the side of the Shard]'' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Seriously, he can do that?]] He can really, actually do that?

The Doctor traces the signal to the Shard (the tallest building in Western Europe as of 2013) and takes his anti-grav motorbike there as soon as he can, riding vertically up the building. He confronts the ConsummateProfessional woman in charge. And reveals that it was a distraction -- he's actually still enjoying his coffee at the café, watching over Clara's lifeless form. The spoonhead-with-the-Doctor's-face takes off its helmet and draws the CEO into the network, then manipulates the corporation into shutting down ''everything''. By that time, UNIT have arrived. To the supreme annoyance of the villain behind it all: the [[Recap/DoctorWhoS5E2TheAbominableSnowmen Great]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoS5E5TheWebOfFear Intelligence]], [[Recap/DoctorWho2012CSTheSnowmen still played by]] Creator/RichardEGrant. The people enslaved into working at the corporation finally snap out of their hypnosis. Sadly for the CEO, who's easily in her 50s, her hypnosis seems to have lasted about 50 years. She's ''terrified'' when she sees UNIT surrounding her.

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: According to Clara, who got a phone number from Missy (though she didn't ''know'' it was Missy), Missy referred to the Doctor as "the best helpline in the universe" and from someone who's spent over a thousand years trying to ''kill'' him, that's praise.

* ComfortingComforter: The Doctor does this for Clara, twice. The first time, he tucks her gently into bed to let her rest and leaves her a plate of jammy dodgers. Though he eats one of them himself, [[NoSocialSkills then puts in back on the plate among the others]].

* ASpotOfTea: Clara carries around a cuppa after going outside to talk to the Doctor. She clings to it throughout seeing the TARDIS for the first time and surviving a few minutes on a rapidly crashing plane. Amazingly, she avoids spilling it over everything as there's enough left for her to take a healthy swig after all is said and done.

* INeedAFreakingDrink: Clara gulping the rest of her drink after surviving a near plane crash thanks to a madman in a time machine. It's PlayedForLaughs in that it's just [[SpotOfTea tea]]. She also slams the cup down like it were a shot glass.

** Miss Kizlet (through one of her PeoplePuppets) remarks how a motorbike just doesn't seem [[Recap/DoctorWhoTVMTheTVMovie like the Doctor's style]]. [[Recap/DoctorWhoS8E5TheDaemons He gives an "are you kidding me" look]].

-->'''Clara''': It's bigger....actually bigger....!

-->'''The Doctor:''' ... I fixed that rattling noise in the washing machine, indexed the kitchen cupboards, optimised the photosynthesis in the main flower bed and assembled the quadricycle.\\

'''The Doctor:''' ''... I invented the quadricycle!''

* RealityEnsues: When a strange man shows up at the door, dressed like a monk, highly amused by the phrase "Doctor Who?", and heavily convinced that he knows her, Clara promptly closes and locks the door.
