You had one job. One. And there's even a button to press to make it happen these days.

Double-post irony is ironic.

This is one of the few moments from classic Who I remember, which just shows how powerful a bit of TV it was and is. Now of course they’d just kill them off and bring them back without explanation next series (see e.g. the repeated appearances of the Daleks despite being supposedly wiped out in the Time War).

It is a superb moment, very Iconic.
I've always been on Sarahs side myself. Sod the "some good", its all the fucking evil I am concerned with

. Now of course they’d just kill them off and bring them back without explanation

Pretty sure they have given an explanation every time, even if it is a hand-waving one - and the idea of any inter-planet race of conquers having every single one of them killed of is itself pretty unlikely from a logic standpoint.

Now, The Master on the other hand.....(I still dont know what the hell that ring was about back in RTDs era...)

[Harlequin]

The Master has a history of appearing to be absolutely killed off then returning without explanation since at least the mid-eighties. There is only weak continuity in DW, however, and very little in the way of fixed canon, even without the constant changing of history and such things as the entire universe being rebooted. The Whoniverse is not rigid but in constant flux, frequently contradicting itself. Rather like the Doctor himself, in fact.

Doctor Who: Osgood to return from the dead in new season

Osgood is back, fresh from her recent murder at the end of last series. We recently confirmed that Osgood was definitely dead and not returning—but in a show about time travel, anything can happen. The brilliant Ingrid Oliver is back in action. This time, though, can the Doctor trust his number one fan?

The pretentious twat thinks a good plot twist is lying to the press.

[F-ZeroOne]

Ah. That ties in with some episode titles I saw recently then... the above link also has some clues as to how this might be happening, if you wish to avoid further spoilers.

[Cloudane]

Rule 1: Moffat lies. He's notorious for it. It's a shame the spoiler couldn't be kept a bit quieter though.. (not referring to here, it was all over farcebook)
