One of the creepiest adventures in Doctor Who was when the Fourteenth Doctor and his companion Donna accidentally ended up on a spaceship at the edge of the universe (Planet of Evil). However, the Doctor and Donna discover that they are not alone and that they are being stalked by two versions of themselves called the Not-Things. The Not-Things claim to originate from the nothingness on the other side of the universe (Wild Blue Yonder). The Doctor and Donna discover that the spaceship has been set to self-destruct by the deceased Captain three years ago. Donna and the Doctor narrowly escape the destruction of the ship in the TARDIS, whilst the Not-Things are obliterated! I was shooketh after watching this scary adventure! 😱

The Doctor and Donna briefly bump into Isaac Newton when the TARDIS crash-lands in an apple tree above him in 1666. Donna and the Doctor make a terrible joke about “the gravity of the situation” which Newton mishears, causing him to change history and rename it ‘Mavity’. The TARDIS lands in the far future on a spaceship at the edge of the universe. The TARDIS’s Hostile Action Displacement Systems are activated and the ship flies away. The pair hear strange knocking from outside, in a manner similar to Midnight. The Doctor and Donna explore the ship, however they soon discover that they are not alone. Two copies of the Doctor and Donna, that can bend and twist into any shape (in a manner similar to the Gangers in The Rebel Flesh/The Almost People), are stalking them. “Because that’s the astonishing thing about the people from her planet, they can believe two completely different things at exactly the same time.” The Doctor and Donna do their best to hide from the Not-Things that claim to originate from the nothingness beyond the edge of the universe. I have been a victim of stalking and harassment. The Doctor and Donna discover the body of the ship’s captain floating around outside the ship. Three years ago, the captain sacrificed herself to prevent the Not-Things from copying her and she set the ship to self-destruct slowly. The Doctor realises that the announcements they are hearing are the numbers in a countdown to the ship exploding. The Not-Things realise that they need to stop the robot slowly walking down the ship corridor to press the self-destruct button. The Doctor and Donna pursue them, but the Not-Things are too fast. The hostile action therefore ends and the TARDIS returns, but the Doctor clambers aboard with the wrong Donna. After a brief scan reveals that he has taken the Not-Thing Donna, the Doctor returns to the ship and rescues the real Donna seconds before the ship explodes, destroying the Not-Things. The Doctor and Donna return to the present day where they meet Wilf. However, Wilf tells them that the world is coming to an end as everyone is going mad!
