He ''[[RuleOfThree opens the door again]]'', she's ''still screaming'', and he closes it for the final time. CrossesTheLineTwice at its greatest.

* Journalist Vivien Rook brushing her way past [[SexySecretary Tish]] to bag an interview with Lucy Saxon.
-->'''Tish:''' ''[stands up]'' I'm sorry, but you're not allowed in... ''[begin WalkAndTalk]''
-->'''Vivien:''' ''[waving paper in Tish's face]'' Harold Saxon, A Modern Churchill! It's the definitive think piece on the great man himself. ''[hands paper to Tish]'' Oh, come on, sweetheart. You must've read it.
-->'''Tish:''' Um... Not really. Sorry, I'm new...
-->'''Vivien:''' Mister Saxon does like a pretty face. I'm here to see Mrs Saxon.
-->'''Tish:''' You can't just go barging in!
** Honorable mention goes to the "deer in the headlights" expressions on Tish's face, turning from Vivien to an exhausted Mrs. Saxon, as the former persuades the latter to give her an interview, followed by her dumbstruck expression when Lucy actually accepts.
* [[ButtMonkey Poor little Tish]] ends up getting wafted out of the room like a [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E5WorldWarThree Slitheen fart]].

-->'''Vivien:''' ''[Mrs. Saxon shakes her head.]'' No, no, it's only a profile piece. You know, hair and clothes and nonsense. ''[pushing Tish out of the room]'' There's a good girl. Out you go. That's it. ''[Tish gets the door shut in her face]''.

-->'''The Doctor:''' ''[entirely deadpan]'' Martha, before I change here's a list of instructions for when I'm human. One, don't let me hurt anyone. We can't have that, but you know what humans are like. Two, don't worry about the TARDIS. I'll put it on emergency power so they can't detect it, just let it hide away. Four– no... wait a minute, three! No getting involved in big historical events. Four, you. Don't let me abandon you. And five! Very important, five: Don't let me eat ''pears''. I ''hate'' pears. John Smith is a character I made up, but I won't know that. I'll think I am him, and he might do something stupid like eat a pear! In three months, I don't want to wake up from being human and taste that. And six: [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall Now I have to talk for around about a minute without hesitation, deviation, or whatever the other thing is.]] It's like that panel game on Channel 4 like [[NamesTheSame Rory]] just pointed out. However, I'm going to move on and say number seven, and talk about my other favorite band, which is [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Housemartins The Housemartins]]. I don't know if anyone remembers The Housemartins, but the best gig I ever went to was at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre in about December. It must have been 1990, and The Housemartins were playing, and it was quite simply the best gig I've ever been to. They split up quite soon afterwards, I don't know what that tells you about that particular event. I'm sitting in the TARDIS now, and I'm gonna wind up soon, but not before I make a few strange noises with my mouth that will go somewhere along the lines of bingle bongle dingle dangle yikkety-doo yikkety-daa ping pong lippy tappy too tah. And 23, if anything goes wrong, if they find us, Martha, then you know what to do. Open the watch.
