There's no denying that we applaud the brilliant Doctor for his intelligence and insight into the wonders of the universe but, let's be honest, he doesn't always get it right.
While he's pretty handy at saving other people's lives, he's also rather adept at putting them in danger. So, who does he rely on to get him out of a sticky situation? The women in his life of course.
They're always on standby to offer him a few simple words of encouragement or to put him in his place (well, he does need it from time to time). With that in mind, we've dedicated a whole gallery to the wise words from the women of Doctor Who.
Clara Oswald
"Everyone's scared when they're little. I used to be terrified of getting lost. I used to have nightmares about it. And then I got lost."
- The Rings of Akhaten
Sarah Jane Smith

Rose Tyler
"You don't just give up. You don’t just let things happen. You make a stand. You say "no." You have the guts to do what's right when everyone else just runs away."

Amy Pond
“You know when sometimes, you meet someone so beautiful – and then you actually talk to them, and five minutes later they’re as dull as a brick; but then there’s other people. And you meet them and you think, ‘Not bad, they’re okay,’ and then when you get to know them… Their face just sort of becomes them, like their personality’s written all over it, and they just – they turn into something so beautiful. Rory’s the most beautiful man I’ve ever met.”
- The Girl Who Waited
Donna Noble

Clara Oswald
"We don't walk away."
- The Rings of Akhaten
