Kill the Moon (TV story)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Kill the Moon was the seventh episode in series 8 of Doctor Who.
It saw the Twelfth Doctor take Coal Hill School student Courtney Woods on a trip in the TARDIS with him and Clara following her discovery of his true nature in the previous episode.
It also made a return to the apocalyptic period of mid-21st century Earth as well as the concept of time in flux, with the Doctor choosing to take a step back and leaving the future in the hands of his human company, a choice that would lead to a divide between the Doctor and Clara.
