“Everybody dies!” would've been a very different ending to THAT story…

Doctor Who (https://screenrant.com/tag/doctor-who/) is renowned for sending people scurrying behind the sofa, but it always has to tread the line between frightening and nightmare-inducing. After all, it’s a family drama, not a horror film!
But that doesn’t stop the writers from testing boundaries, adding dark moments to their scripts to see what they can get away with.
In some cases though, these moments never make it to screen, because they’re either too scary or too violent. Sometimes there are other factors, such as whether there’s enough budget for a certain scene, or whether the story would be more streamlined without it.
Fortunately, many of these dark moments still exist in draft scripts, or have been talked about in interviews. Some made it to concept art, or were filmed but omitted from broadcast.
Whatever the case, there's a good reason you haven't seen them, and in a way, this only serves to make them more tantalizing. After all, the suggestion of horror is often more effective than horror itself.
