You can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family, as the saying goes. Some of the unfortunate bunch the Doctor has met over the millennia would certainly pick different nearest and dearest if they could.

Most people are ridiculously pleased with their offspring, but gazillionaire Joshua Naismith took his pride in daughter Abigail one step too far. He used his wealth to buy the Infinity Gate, a device that would make Abigail immortal. Annoyingly, it was slightly banjaxed, and the only person he could find who was qualified to repair it was the Master. Bad move!

The process was reversed, but the Naismiths ended up in prison for their part in the chaos.

A Christmas Carol (2010)
The Doctor didn’t get a warm welcome from Kazran Sardick when he fell down his chimney dressed as Santa. Sardick was a rotten old miser, but a film of him as a happy child convinced the Doctor that something must have happened to change the course of his life. The film was taken on the day young Kazran tried to see some skyfish, earning a clout round the head from his father, the equally ‘orrible Elliot, for his trouble. All the Doctor had to do was pop back in time and set the younger Sardick on the path to happiness – easier said than done with a flying sky shark, a crashing spaceship and, worst of all, Kazran’s broken heart all standing in the way.

Delta and the Chimeron Princess
Delta和Chimeron公主
Delta and the Bannermen (1987)
The Shangri-La holiday camp in Wales had a very unusual holidaymaker in 1959. Delta, the last of her race, was hiding out there with the only surviving Chimeron egg, which she had to keep safe from a genocidal death squad. The egg hatched, revealing the squidgy, green slime baby within – giving the Doctor’s friend Mel quite a scare. Delta fed the unusual offspring a special jelly to accelerate her growth, and she was soon almost adult-sized. Meanwhile, local lad Billy had taken a shine to Delta, and was also necking the special jelly so he could become a Chimeron, which was a bit of a leap of faith on his part. Luckily it worked – Billy turned slightly green, put on some Chimeron clobber and took off with his new missus to start repopulating the Chimeron homeworld. Eew, icky!
1959年，位于威尔士的香格里拉度假村迎来了一位非同寻常的游客。Delta是她种族的最后一人，她和唯一存留下来的Chimeron卵藏在这里，以躲避种族灭绝小队。卵孵出了像鱿鱼一样的绿色的、湿哒哒的婴儿，吓着了博士的朋友Mel。Delta用一种特殊的果冻喂养这个奇怪的婴儿，加速她的成长，她很快就成年了。与此同时，当地的小伙子Billy对Delta有了好感，他亲吻了这种奇特的果冻，以便让自己变成一个Chimeron，这对他来算是信仰之跃了。幸运的是这奏效了，Billy变得有点发绿，他穿上了Chimeron的衣服，然后带着他的夫人远行，并且在Chimeron的故乡定居。简直就是个虐狗的故事！
The As
A一家
The Happiness Patrol (1988)
Helen A, ruler of Terra Alpha, didn’t seem like a particularly easy woman to live with. For a start, she demanded total happiness from all her subjects on pain of death, and this included her long-suffering husband, Joseph. People on Terra Alpha didn’t have surnames, just letters to show how important they were. Helen was Helen A, but Joseph was only Joseph C, which was quite a gap whichever way you look at it. Joseph seemed loyal enough to his wife, until the Doctor turned up and everything started to go pear-shaped – he was last seen doing a runner in Helen A’s private shuttle accompanied by a gentleman friend, Gilbert M, with whom he presumably lived happily ever after.
Helen A是阿尔法星球的统治者，看起来并不是什么特别好相处的女人。首先，她要求所有在死亡的痛苦阴影下的臣民都要完全幸福，包括她长期受苦的丈夫Joseph。阿尔法星球的人没有姓氏，只用字母来表示他们的重要程度。Helen是Helen A，而Joseph只是Joseph C，不管怎么看这都是相当大的差距。Joseph看起来对他的妻子非常忠诚，直到博士到来，一切都出岔子了。最后一次看到他是在Helen的私人穿梭机上，他和一位绅士伙伴Gilbert M正要逃跑，估计他们最后拥有了幸福的生活。

It Takes You Away (2018)
Soon after arriving in a remote part of Norway, the Doctor, Graham, Yaz and Ryan found a blind teenager called Hanne, who’d been abandoned in a log cabin by her feckless father, Erik. He’d made them up sticks and moved there when his wife Trine had died, and Hanne couldn’t work out why he’d have abandoned her there. Erik had actually travelled through a portal to a parallel universe where his late wife still seemed to be very much alive, and was scared he’d never see her again if he returned to Hanne. The parallel world was the work of the Solitract, a sentient universe trying to assemble a kind of family of its own for company, by offering people the chance to be reunited with versions of their late loved ones. But Hanne wasn’t fooled by the copy once she learnt of her father’s whereabouts – she rejected her “mother” and was sent back to her own universe, while Erik realised the best place for his family was back home, in Oslo.
