Danny Pink
Danny Pink (born Rupert Henry Pink) is a fictional character in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. Created by Steven Moffat and portrayed by actor Samuel Anderson, he is a supporting character in the eighth series of the programme, first appearing in the episode, "Into the Dalek". He becomes the boyfriend of the Twelfth Doctor (Peter Capaldi)'s companion Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman). Formerly a soldier, Danny now works as a Maths teacher at Coal Hill School. Danny and the Doctor come to disapprove of each other throughout the series, with the Doctor disliking Danny being a former soldier, while Clara's travels with the Doctor puts friction on her relationship with Danny. Throughout the series, Danny, the Doctor, and Clara develop a dynamic with each other, with multiple episodes exploring their relationships with each other. Danny is eventually killed and revived as a cyborg known as a Cyberman during the episodes "Dark Water" and "Death in Heaven". During the events of "Death in Heaven," the converted Danny dies while stopping antagonist the Master (Michelle Gomez)'s plot to turn the entire Earth into Cybermen.
Anderson auditioned for the role of Danny in late 2013, with his casting being announced in early 2014. Danny was intended by Moffat to be a comforting presence for Clara upon returning home from adventures with the Doctor, with the Doctor's negative opinion of Danny done to show the Doctor making a "tactical error" in judging someone.
Danny was met with an overall negative response from critics, with some disliking how he was characterised, but his relationship with the Doctor and his status as a soldier has been the subject of analysis.
Doctor Who is a long-running British science-fiction television series that began in 1963. It stars its protagonist, The Doctor, an alien who travels through time and space in a ship known as the TARDIS, as well as their travelling companions. When the Doctor dies, they can undergo a process known as "regeneration", completely changing the Doctor's appearance and personality. Throughout their travels, the Doctor often comes into conflict with various alien species and antagonists.
Danny Pink (Samuel Anderson) is first introduced in the 2014 episode "Into the Dalek". He is a new Maths teacher at Coal Hill Secondary School in London, having previously served as a soldier in British Army. He and Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) fall in love. In the episode "Listen" (2014), the pair are shown on a date, which goes poorly due to Danny assuming Clara would not understand his career in the Army due to her anti-war stance. In the TARDIS, Clara uses the TARDIS's "telepathic circuits" to try and travel to her childhood, but accidentally travels to Danny's. She meets a young Danny, named Rupert, and she inadvertently inspires him to be a soldier. Clara attempts to reconcile with Danny in the present, but Danny leaves after Clara reveals she knows his full name. The Twelfth Doctor (Peter Capaldi) introduces her to a man named Orson Pink, who hails from the future and is the descendant of Danny and a time traveller. Believing the descendant of a time traveller to be her, Clara goes to Danny and reconciles with him.
In "The Caretaker" (2014), an alien known as the Skovox Blitzer (Jimmy Vee) is drawn to the school by the Doctor, who is posing as Coal Hill's caretaker. He clashes with Danny, mocking his past in the Army and refusing to accept that he is a Maths teacher, mistaking and dismissing him as a P.E. teacher instead, and subsequently insists in calling him P.E. repeatedly. Danny later helps the Doctor stop the Blitzer, who acknowledges his assistance subtly, and gives Clara his blessing to continue travelling. Clara later tells him she has stopped travelling with the Doctor in "Kill the Moon" (2014), but she later continues to travel with the Doctor after changing her mind. He appears in "In the Forest of the Night" (2014), when Clara, Danny and a group of special needs students become stranded in central London, which has become overgrown by trees and plant-life, they are forced to call on the Doctor for help. Danny discovers Clara has continued travelling with the Doctor without telling him and insists on staying with the students when the Earth is seemingly about to be destroyed. Though the plant-life is revealed to have been a defense mechanism intended to save the Earth from a solar flare, with the planet being safe, Danny asks Clara to reveal the truth about the Doctor's travels to him at a later time.
During a phone call with Clara in "Dark Water" (2014), Danny is unexpectedly struck and killed by a car. Danny's consciousness is uploaded to a digital realm known as the Nethersphere. Clara and the Doctor, attempting to find where Danny has gone after death, go to the "3W Institute," where they discover the Master (Referred to as Missy) is planning to raise a Cyberman army using humanity's dead. She uploads those in the Nethersphere into Cyberman bodies. During "Death in Heaven" (2014), all who have died are brought back as Cybermen, including Danny. Missy intends to use a raincloud with Cyberman technology inside of it to eradicate the living humans and make them Cybermen as well. Danny resists having his emotions removed like the other Cybermen, allowing him to rebel against Missy and lead the Cybermen to all self-destruct in the clouds, destroying the raincloud and stopping Missy's plan. Danny's consciousness is sent to the Nethersphere, now collapsing due to Missy's apparent death after the cloud was destroyed. Though he has a chance to escape, he decides to sacrifice himself to bring a child he accidentally killed while he was a soldier back to life.
Danny later appears in a dream state in the 2014 episode "Last Christmas". When Clara is attacked by the parasitic Dream Crabs, Clara is sent into a dream where Danny appears as if he is still alive and living with Clara. He reveals the true nature of the dream world whilst 12 is present and offers Clara the choice to leave the dream or stay in it and wait for the Dream Crabs to kill her in the real world. Danny urges her to move on, and Clara leaves the dream.
