* EvilCripple: Lady Cassandra is a pretty extreme version of the trope, at least on the "cripple" end. Reduced to a sentient transhuman skin creature, she is reliant on her servants for absolutely everything, including being "moisturised" constantly to stop her from dehydrating to death.

Trope was renamed per TRS, and restricted to examples where swearing is significantly OOC for the person doing it. I would argue that neither of these qualify, because Rose and Nine both use this kind of language on a fairly regular basis.

* BrutalHonesty: When the Doctor shows Rose the day the Earth will be destroyed, she's having a rather hard time taking it in. She offers that perhaps the reason he took her here was to save the Earth from being destroyed. To this, the Doctor has a comically brusque (and [[BlackComedy frankly grim]]) response to such a sugar-coated theory:
-->'''TheDoctor:''' I'm not here to save it: time's up.

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Discussed and justified. Rose asks how the sun could expand into a red giant large enough to destroy the earth in only half an hour, when it should take millions of years. The Doctor explains that, yes, normally it would, but since the National Trust took over and kept the Earth preserved for its historicity, gravity satellites have been holding back the sun's expansion. However, now that the money's run out, the satellites have been shut off and nature is allowed to take its course. What unfolds in the episode is essentially the sun's life cycle fast forwarding to where it should be as of 5.5/Apple/26.
