* From the episode "Bad Wolf": the Doctor brings down the masking signal hiding the true force behind Satellite 5, revealing {{spoiler|a Dalek ship. Then the camera pulls back to reveal dozens upon dozens of them}}. The Doctor's face says it all. And then it gets turned around in a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]], when the Doctor announces ''exactly'' what he's going to do about the situation:

* It continues to go back and forth in the opening scenes of "The Parting of the Ways": first the Doctor confronts the Daleks: "I'm the Doctor, and if there's one thing I can do it's talk! I've got five billion languages and you've got no way of stopping me, so if anybody's gonna shut up, it's you!"—and a ''Dalek'' actually ''recoils''. Then, seconds later, the God Of All Daleks declares, "These words are blasphemy!"—the look on the Doctor's face as he realizes that the Daleks have found ''religion''...

* The Doctor gets one too when he finds out that {{spoiler|not only is Davros still alive, he's made an new army of Daleks, numbering millions.}}

** And then there's the look on {{spoiler|Davros's}} face when {{spoiler|Dalek Caan says ''[[Heel Face Turn|"No more"]]''}}.
<script async="" src="/w/load.php?debug=false&amp;lang=en&amp;modules=startup&amp;only=scripts&amp;skin=vector"></script>
*** This is likely because Dalek Caan has done the one thing that Davros had specifically designed the Daleks to NEVER be capable of: {{spoiler|Dalek Caan ''repented''.}}

* The {{spoiler|Daleks}} manage to provoke this expression twice in "Army of Ghosts" while having approximately ten seconds of screen time. First, the Doctor's face screams "Oh ''shit''!" when the {{spoiler|Cybermen tell him the Void Ship isn't theirs}}, then, when they actually appear, it's Rose's turn.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/w/load.php?debug=false&amp;lang=en&amp;modules=ext.gadget.NoSmallFonts&amp;only=styles&amp;skin=vector"/>
* Also in "Dalek", where Rose believes they have escaped the Dalek by running up a flight of stairs. Adam mocks it and the soldier orders it to return to its cell. One word: "EL-EV-ATE!"

** And, in the very same episode:

* Lacking faces, you wouldn't imagine the Daleks could pull off a decent Oh Crap moment. But in "Doomsday", when a strange man shows up on the vidscreen the Daleks are watching (and have just informed ''five million Cybermen'' that they are no threat, claiming that destroying them "is not war, this is ''[[This Is Pest Control|pest control]]''") and they demand Rose identify him, she calmly does so: "That's the Doctor." All four Daleks simultaneously jerk a few inches backwards. Rose's line is priceless:

* In ''The Macra Terror'', {{spoiler|the Macra [[Villainous Breakdown|freak out]] when the Doctor has the Pilot on his side and is about to use the gas from their lifeline to blow them all to Kingdom Come.}}

* ''The Invasion of Time'' is the definitive Classic Who example. After four episodes, the Vardans have been expelled from Gallifrey through copious amounts of mind-trickery; the Doctor, supremely smug with his success, addresses the cheering crowd with a victory speech. Puzzled at why the cheering abruptly stops, he turns around... {{spoiler|and standing behind him is a Sontaran battle squad, who have been playing the Vardans for patsies, and have taken advantage of the weakened Gallifrey defences to stroll in and claim the place for themselves.}} Tom Baker's boggle-eyes were MADE for moments like this.
</head>
* The Doctor is always good for one of these. At the end of the first episode of ''Remembrance of the Daleks'', in which the Doctor and Ace flee from a Dalek by going up the stairs, because [[Running Gag|Daleks can't climb stairs]]. Except, no, this one ''can''.

* The Doctor has accrued such a reputation by now that many aliens see him as a mythological figure, causing many an Oh Crap when he introduces himself. Perhaps the greatest is that of the Vashta Nerada, made all the more impressive by the fact that they can express it whilst being ''a shadow on the floor''. "Look me up." Indeed.

The look on his face when he realises it is absolutely heartbreaking.

** There's also the Doctor's reaction when he realizes that {{spoiler|the Time Lords are returning}}. [[David Tennant]] really sells it in that scene.
</div>
** Also, how about Lucy Saxon's reaction when she realizes that {{spoiler|the prison she is in is staffed by members of a crazed cult hell bent on using her to bring back The Master}}. Keep in mind, {{spoiler|The Master}}'s [[Mind Rape]] has worn off and this is {{spoiler|the same man she shot 2 years earlier because she was scared to death of him}}

* "Midnight". Sweet holy hell, "''Midnight''". When the Doctor is {{spoiler|taken over by the Midnight Creature and Sky is convincing the rest of the passengers to ''throw him to his death''}}, confirming the [[Humans Are the Real Monsters|Humans Are Bastards]] that he's been trying desperately to avert all episode, the look on his face has to be seen to be believed. Super Bonus points to [[David Tennant]] for distilling all of the Doctor's thoughts into ''just his face'', considering he was in a state of [[Mind Rape]] and ''couldn't move or speak in his own voice.''
<div id="mw-navigation">
** Of course, part of the [[Mind Rape]] was that he couldn't really move his face either, so he was stuck with an [[Oh Crap]] expression the entire time. It's the eyes that made the scene.

* Latest on the alien "Oh, crap, it's him" list is the Atraxi. After the 11th Doctor dresses them down for planning to destroy the Earth just to get an escaped prisoner, he asks them if they think the planet is under protection. Flash to a hologram showing Cybermen, Daleks, the numerous other aliens who have tried to conquer or destroy the Earth, and then a sequence showing every incarnation of the Doctor, ending with the latest walking through the hologram with a cheerful "Hello. I'm the Doctor." The Atraxi leave ''very'' quickly.

** Slightly earlier in the same episode, the Doctor's reaction when River tells him the date she's been dragged to {{spoiler|the 26th of June 2010, otherwise known as the date the TARDIS explodes}}. The look on his face, and the way his voice softens for an instant as he tells her to "Get out of there now," is a suitable indicator of how real shit just got.
<ul>
** River gets a great escalating [[Oh Crap]] moment when her scanner shows the ''ten thousand-plus'' battleships in orbit around Earth. Alex Kingston does a terrific job of showing the rising Oh Crap-ness of the situation.

River encounters the Dalek responsible, levels her gun at him and coolly promises to shoot him right through the eyestalk.

Kent is understandably perturbed -- the Doctor is not supposed to know of their past connection.}}

Who is happily aboard the villain's ship and is merrily messing with everyone's plans. The stunned silence on everyone's behalf speaks volumes.

* In "Let's Kill Hitler", the Doctor, Amy and Rory get one after {{spoiler|[[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|Hitler tells them that they have saved his life.]] }}
<div class="body">
* Another Dalek example, from ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/S9/E01 Day of the Daleks|Day of the Daleks]]''. It turns out that Jo (who's been captured) wasn't working on her own:

* The Doctor has a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] in The Doctor Dances intro when he defeats a child-led zombie invasion by sending the child to his room. When the Doctor investigate a private hospital's records of the child's death, they uncover a recorded interview with him and a [[Room Full of Crazy]] zombie-child drawings. The [[Oh Crap]] moment? {{spoiler|The realization that the taped interview ran out, and the child's voice is live, because the Doctor sent him to his room. This room.}}
</div>
** There's a similar one near the begining of 'The Girl in the Fireplace', where the Doctor realises that the clock's broken - so what's ticking?
<div class="portal" role="navigation" id="p-Troping_Utilities" aria-labelledby="p-Troping_Utilities-label">
* At the cliffhanger of "Rise of the Cybermen", the Doctor gets a good one when he realises {{spoiler|the Cybermen aren't going to let them surrender}}.
<h3 id="p-Troping_Utilities-label">Troping Utilities</h3>
* In "Night Terrors," the moment when the Doctor gets Alex to realize that George {{spoiler|can't possibly be his son}} because {{spoiler|Claire, his wife, ''can't have children.''}} Cue look of horror on Alex's face--{{spoiler|if he doesn't have a son, then who and WHAT is the child that's been living with him for ten years?}}
<div class="body">
* In "The Wedding of River Song," the Doctor can be heard speaking: "Imagine you were dying and a long way from home and in terrible pain. And just when you think it couldn't get any worse, you look up and see the face of the devil himself." And then we see who he's addressing: a Dalek. Who immediately starts screaming "EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY!"
<ul>
** And those who had an [[Oh Crap]] over Ten going [[A God Am I|Time Lord Victorious]] will have an all-too-familiar reaction to Eleven's last words to the Dalek he murders, in the most cold sociopathic voice he has ever used: ''[[Dissonant Serenity|Hello...Dalek.]]''

* A more humourous one happens in "The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe", when {{spoiler|Madge's}} interrogator Droxil confidently states that she won't use her gun. She then replies "Oh really? Well, [[Mama Bear|I'm looking for my children!]]". His expression is priceless.
