* OurClonesAreDifferent:
** The Sontarans are an entire race of clones dedicated to warfare against their ancient enemy, the Rutan Host. The clones require a mix of chemicals known as "clone feed" in order for them to reach full health and maturity, with one storyline ("The Sontaran Strategem"/"The Poison Sky") revolving around them engulfing the entire Earth in those chemicals in order to create a surplus of new troops.
*** In "The Sontaran Stratagem"/"The Poison Sky", the Sontarans use a bactic tank of green fluid to grow a human clone as an infiltrator. Upon wiring Martha Jones into the machine as the template, the clone grows from a near-featureless adult-sized humanoid that can't leave the tank into a physical double of Martha within hours or less. The Martha clone has all of Martha's memories uploaded into her, but is reliant on Martha remaining connected to the cloning machine to stay alive, and she instantly starts dying the second Martha is removed from the machine.
** The Daleks, being a severely-mutated remnant of the Kaled race which can't function much at all without their cybernetic casings and other advanced technology, and which have delusions of being a racially-pure organism coloring their actions to boot; oftentimes boost and replenish their numbers primarily by factory-growing clones of their organic components (the mutants) and inserting them into casings. After the Time War, Davros, being of the same pre-mutation stock as the original Daleks since he's the last non-Dalek Kaled in existence, was able to grow a new army of millions of Daleks, using a single cell of his own body for each one.
** In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E1NewEarth New Earth]]", Cassandra O'Brien was able to "force-grow" a clone called Chip, whose appearance she modeled on a man she'd met long ago: Cassandra implicitly imprinted Chip's likeness on him from her own memory without any DNA samples from the "original" actually being used. Chip has a "half life", which causes him (physically appearing to be a young man) to die of organ failure at the episode's end.
** In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E13JourneysEnd Journey's End]]", the Tenth Doctor redirects his aborted regeneration's energy into his preserved severed hand (which he regrew a replacement for in a previous episode), and Donna later comes into contact with the energized hand, resulting in a "biological meta-crisis" where the hand both literally and figuratively regenerates the rest of its missing body, now spliced with human DNA donated from Donna. The result is a physically-identical clone of the Tenth Doctor who has part-human DNA from Donna -- the effects of which include a more human-like internal biology, lacking a regeneration cycle, and having a mix of Donna's and the original Tenth Doctor's personality quirks -- and the new Meta-Crisis Doctor has the same thoughts and memories as the original Tenth Doctor, but with a more ruthless and aggressive streak due to the clone being "born in blood and battle and revenge".
** The Gangers are human duplicates made from a form of living flesh who are designed to mine dangerous materials whilst controlled by humans. However, they are given independent thought upon being exposed to a solar storm. When they do gain this, they retain the memories of their original template up to the moment of independence but also have skills such as extending their limbs or mutating into monsters. They're initially unstable as well, shifting between half-flesh and human faces, although it is possible for them to be stabilized, as shown when it's revealed in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E6TheAlmostPeople The Almost People]]" that Amy has been one of them for at least a short amount of time without anyone noticing.

Unfortunately, his expansive apparent knowledge followed by his sudden absence ramps up the paranoia among the humans to fever pitch to the point where everyone turns against him and the General even accuses him of killing his son.

[[ArchEnemy The Master]] had [[TheBadGuyWins succeeded]] in taking control over the entire world, trapping the Doctor in a rapid ageing state, and Martha Jones on the run on the ground. The Master accomplished this by using a psychic MindControlDevice to gradually work his way into being elected Prime Minister of Britain, before using an army of Toclafane (cyborg future human he had transported to the present) to cease control of the whole world. The Master would spend a year having his army gradually killing off the population of Earth, which was a TemporalParadox since they were killing their ancestors. This is only made possible due to the Master turning the Doctor's TARDIS into a paradox machine. The Doctor ultimately manages to defeat the Master, by having Martha travel the Earth to every human survivor (linked with the Master's psychic device) and have them [[WordPower all think his name in unison]], allowing the psychic energies to be [[EmpoweredBadassNormal granted to him]]. Once the Master is out of the way, the paradox machine is destroyed, causing the entire year of the Master's reign to reset back to before the paradox machine was activated. Only the select few people present near the machine retained memories of the year, while the rest of the population of the Earth were unaware of it occurring.

The Master would spend a year having his army gradually killing off the population of Earth, which was a TemporalParadox since they were killing their ancestors. This is only made possible due to the Master turning the Doctor's TARDIS into a paradox machine. The Doctor ultimately manages to defeat the Master, by having Martha travel the Earth to every human survivor (linked with the Master's psychic device) and have them [[WordPower all think his name in unison]], allowing the psychic energies to be [[EmpoweredBadassNormal granted to him]]. Once the Master is out of the way, the paradox machine is destroyed, causing the entire year of the Master's reign to reset back to before the paradox machine was activated. Only the select few people present near the machine retained memories of the year, while the rest of the population of the Earth were unaware of it occurring. This year came to be known as "The Year That Never Was".

The Doctor turns out to be the Timeless Child, and actually has infinite regenerations. The Doctor's first known incarnation as a young girl existed long before the show's "First" Doctor, and she was ruthlessly experimented on by the original Gallifreyans until they could replicate her regneration ability and turned themselves into the Time Lords. The Time Lords then erased the young Doctor's memories, creating the First Doctor.

** Let's just say that all the ''Doctor Who'' trailers tell us these days is the title of the episode and a few big shocks that WON'T be happening in the episode.
*** This only applies to the UK though. On the Sci-Fi Channel, [[TrailersAlwaysSpoil the trailers frequently gave away huge twists]].
** The Sci-Fi trailer for [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E5EvolutionOfTheDaleks "Evolution of the Daleks"]] showed the Doctor standing below a hovering Dalek urging it to kill him [[spoiler: followed immediately by a shot of someone standing in the same place, in the same position (arms spread, looking up) being blasted by the Dalek. Of course, this wasn't the Doctor but a secondary character, though you couldn't tell because of the "glowing skeleton" effect that victims of a Dalek blast get in the new series. Anyone watching the trailer would swear the Doctor was just exterminated.]]
** A trailer for the 2007 episode [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E9TheFamilyOfBlood "The Family of Blood"]] showed [[spoiler:John Smith getting married and having children. In the episode itself, this was just a Last Temptation to the life he could have if he didn't turn back into his usual self.]]
** The ad for [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E6TheDoctorsDaughter "The Doctor's Daughter"]] puts a great deal of emphasis on a blonde girl backflipping through a row of lasers. The scene was actually [[spoiler:a three-second filler with no real importance to the plot (except to further showcase the amazing talents of the Doctor's offspring)]].
*** The Australian trailer kept repeating "Father and daughter REUNITED!", even though Jenny was actually a newborn clone who took her first breaths in the episode. (May also be a misunderstanding of the fact that the Doctor's original companion was his ''granddaughter''.)
** Let's not even get ''started'' on [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E11TurnLeft "Turn Left"]]...
** The BBC One trailer for [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E16TheWatersOfMars "The Waters of Mars"]] ends with the [[BlatantLies Blatant Lie]] of someone knocking four times just like TheProphecy said, in the actual episode however, [[spoiler:it was LampshadeHanging and the Doctor stopped the villain from knocking a fourth time.]] The trailer repeated the first knock.
** Suffice it to say, no one was really surprised when the ads for [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E17E18TheEndOfTime "The End of Time"]] featured Wilf ominously informing the Doctor, "The Master is going to kill you!"... [[spoiler:and in the actual episode — guess what? — he didn't!]]
** We can't even trust promo shots: almost all the photos of the Eleventh Doctor's companion Amy Pond showed her wearing a policewoman's uniform, leading many to believe that that would be her job; turns out she works as a kissogram, and the uniform was just a costume she switched into when the Doctor showed up in her house.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E10VincentAndTheDoctor "Vincent and the Doctor"]]:
*** The "Next Time" trailer for the episode ended with a coffin topped with sunflowers, implying it was Vincent's. In the actual episode, it's the coffin of a girl whose death by the MonsterOfTheWeek Vincent is blamed for, and who is never seen. It's also a reference to a lost van Gogh painting of the same subject matter.
*** One BBC trailer made the episode look like a ''Film/GirlWithAPearlEarring''-style romance with an artist being revitalized by a new muse.
** The preview trailer for Series Six (played at the end of the [[Recap/DoctorWho2010CSAChristmasCarol 2010 Christmas Special]]) has two examples: a shot of three Nazis bursting into a room [[spoiler:while one episode ''did'' take place in Nazi Germany, this scene never occurs]], and a naked River Song winking at someone (presumably the Doctor). [[spoiler:Again, no sign of that anywhere in the new series.]]
** The trailers for [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E6TheAlmostPeople "The Almost People"]] suggested that [[spoiler: [[CloningBlues Ganger!Doctor]]]] was a villain, when in reality [[spoiler:he was generally good and helpful throughout the entire episode, even pulling a HeroicSacrifice at the end]].
** Series 7 trailers showed a clip from [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E1AsylumOfTheDaleks "Asylum of the Daleks"]] with Rory surrounded by a group of blown up Dalek shells, leading him to ask "Who killed all the Daleks?" Implying this was the end of the episode. [[spoiler:It wasn't, it was only the halfway point. They were merely half-active and insane by Dalek standards.]]
** The trailer for [[Recap/DoctorWho50thASTheDayOfTheDoctor "The Day of the Doctor"]] has the War Doctor's line "Great men are forged in fire. It is the privilege of lesser men to light the flame." In this context, it makes the War Doctor sound villainous. In the episode proper, we learn [[HeroicSelfDeprecation he's referring to himself]] as the lesser man, and the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors as the great ones.
** The "Next Episode" clip for [[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E12DeathInHeaven "Death in Heaven"]] (the Series 8 finale) has Clara say "I am not Clara Oswald. Clara Oswald never existed!" implying a rather dark twist. [[spoiler:She's merely trying to stall for time against the Cybermen by claiming to be the Doctor. There very much is a Clara Oswald.]] For that matter, TrailersAlwaysLie was deliberately invoked for this and its predecessor "Dark Water", making Clara look worse than she was to hide the massive plot twists of [[spoiler: Danny Pink's death]] and [[spoiler: Missy's true identity]] until "Dark Water"'s transmission.
** The trailer for Series 9 prominently featured the shot of Creator/MaisieWilliams removing her Knightmare mask in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E6TheWomanWhoLived "The Woman Who Lived"]], with the Doctor knowingly exclaiming "You!", and Maisie calmly responding "What took you so long, old man?" Since the trailer was shown before anyone knew ''anything'' about her character, that scene understandably gave fans the impression that she would be playing a character from the Doctor's past, fueling speculation that Romana or Susan Foreman would be returning to the show. The trailer left out the fact that "The Woman Who Lived" is ''not'' the character's introduction. The Doctor acts like he knows her because he first meets her in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E5TheGirlWhoDied "The Girl Who Died"]], the episode before "The Woman Who Lived"; for those who are curious, she is a Viking girl [[spoiler:whom he saves from the grave in a way that makes her functionally immortal, and who from there must take The Slow Path]].
** The "Next Time" for [[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E12HellBent "Hell Bent"]] showed what looked for all the world like [[spoiler:someone being forced to regenerate. While a regeneration ''does'' take place in the episode, it happened because the Time Lord in question was ''shot'' -- no one was force-regenerated]]. In addition, [[TrailersAlwaysLie most promotional materials focused on the first 20 minutes of the episode]] and the Doctor's [[spoiler: return to Gallifrey for the first time post-Time War]] to hide the twist that he [[spoiler: wants to save Clara Oswald's life ''after she already died'']], which drives the remainder of the story and was ''not'' what many fans expected from the story's setup.
** The Series 10 trailer that aired after [[Recap/DoctorWho2016CSTheReturnOfDoctorMysterio "The Return of Doctor Mysterio"]] included an exchange from late in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS36E5Oxygen "Oxygen"]] where the Doctor, after being asked who he is, responds with a BadassBoast that he's the "man who will save all your lives, and you'll spend the rest of them wondering who I was." When the episode actually aired, it became clear that the shot had been edited [[spoiler:to make the Doctor's eyes look normal, as partway through he gets [[TemporaryBlindness blinded]] after having to go on a spacewalk without a helmet, leaving him with ProphetEyes for most of the rest of the episode]].
** The trailers for [[Recap/DoctorWhoS36E7ThePyramidAtTheEndOfTheWorld "The Pyramid at the End of the World"]] made it look like [[spoiler:the imminent threat of WorldWarIII was how the Monks were going to get permission to take over the Earth. It's actually misdirection — the real threat that may bring about the end of the world is the accidental creation and release of deadly bacteria from a lab]].
** The trailers for the next episode, [[Recap/DoctorWhoS36E8TheLieOfTheLand "The Lie of the Land"]], focused on [[spoiler:Bill and Nardole having to [[StormingTheCastle storm the castle]] to find the BrainwashedAndCrazy Doctor, and Bill having to shoot him in the chest, which causes him to partially regenerate]] — all of which happens in the ''first half'' of the episode. The ''real'' climax is something different.
** One much-circulated still for [[Recap/DoctorWhoS37E1TheWomanWhoFellToEarth "The Woman Who Fell to Earth"]] shows the Doctor staring out at something in front of Yaz, Ryan, Graham and Grace. Trouble is, the Doctor's in her new costume, which in the episode she only chooses after [[spoiler:Grace's funeral]].
** According to Creator/RussellTDavies in ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' #585, the dark and stormy sky behind the Fifteenth Doctor in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_fZE4f4JAg the first teaser for the 2023 specials]] (and subsequent trailers) was invented specifically for the teaser to hide his actual location, and doesn't appear in the final scene.
