The Twelfth Doctor used apology cue cards to get himself out of tight situations. These cue cards were more than likely written by Clara Oswald. (TV: Under the Lake)
Examples for the Apology cue cards
"I completely understand why it was difficult not to get captured."
"I didn't mean to imply that I don't care."
"It was my fault, I should have known you didn't live in Aberdeen."
"No one is going to be eaten / vapourised / exterminated / upgraded / possessed / mortally wounded / turned to jelly. We'll all get out of this unharmed."
Notes
- The Aberdeen cue card is a reference to TV: School Reunion, in which Sarah Jane Smith was revealed to have mistakenly been dropped off there (instead of in Croydon) by the Fourth Doctor.
