Oh, my giddy aunt

"Oh, my giddy aunt" was a colloquialism that was often used as an exclamation of surprise.

By the Doctor

The Second Doctor used the phrase often. He said it to himself when he saw the side-effects of RTC units, (PROSE: Invasion of the Cat-People) to himself when he was surprised by a Kroton, (TV: The Krotons) to Sergeant Benton as a Gell guard tried to enter the TARDIS, (TV: The Three Doctors) to himself after escaping from a group of snake-like aliens (COMIC: The Forgotten) and to Dastari during an argument in a cellar. (TV: The Two Doctors)

A clone of the Second Doctor said it as Lucius threatened to devour him. (AUDIO: Survivors in Space)

The Eleventh Doctor said it while facing a Diceman with Henry Gordon Jago, (AUDIO: The Jago & Litefoot Revival) and when he'd simultaneously dodged the blasts of a gunstick, a cyber wrist blaster and a translation sphere. (COMIC: Doctor Who and the Last Stand)

The Seventh Doctor, when asked about his family, once listed only his granddaughter and a giddy aunt, "but she was probably a metaphor". (AUDIO: Forever Fallen)
