It's safe to say that, as a collective, Doctor Who fans are more vocal than most about the direction of their favorite show.

Every Whovian has their own wildly different view on what Doctor Who should and shouldn't be - some prefer the quirky, runabout charm of the classic series, some prefer RTD's space opera soap, and others prefer to plot Moffat's convoluted stories on a flow chart.

The point is, the one thing we love to do more than flame the show we claim to love, is to politely disagree with each other about almost every aspect of it. But sometimes, very rarely, impossible things just happen, and we call them miracles. When our hearts are in the right place, and the stars are too, Doctor Who fans agree.

There have been tons of missed opportunities in the show's history, and no doubt, we can all shake hands on the fact that the following ten - from wasted characters to storylines ripe with potential - represent some of the biggest of the lot.
