Danny Pink is a fictional character created by Steven Moffat and
portrayed by Samuel Anderson in the long-running British science
fiction television series Doctor Who. He is a supporting character in
the eighth series of the program, first appearing in the second
episode, "Into the Dalek". He appears alongside Peter Capaldi's
Twelfth Doctor and his storylines stem primarily from being the
colleague, and later boyfriend, of companion Clara Oswald, portrayed
by Jenna Coleman. He appears in every episode of Series 8 except for
the series premiere "Deep Breath" and the third episode "Robot of
Sherwood".Danny Pink is first introduced in Series 8 Episode 2, "Into
the Dalek". He is a new Maths teacher at Coal Hill Secondary School in
London, and is reasonably new to the profession having spent a number
of years in the past serving with the British Army. A dark past is
hinted at when he avoids answering a question from one of his students
on whether he has ever killed someone who wasn't a soldier, with a
tear rolling down his cheek. He is instantly attracted to his new
colleague, Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman), an English teacher at the
school, and attempts to ask her out on a date, which is at first
disastrous, but she eventually asks him herself.Their first date is
seen in the fourth episode of the series, "Listen". Clara is offended
when Danny presumes that she will not understand his career in the
Army, knowing that she is anti-war, and she storms out. At the same
time, the Doctor (Peter Capaldi) is attempting to explore the
possibility that everyone has a constant companion, like a shadow,
that is always with them, relating back to the recurring dream of the
monster under the bed. Wanting to explore Clara's past experience of
the dream, the TARDIS taps into her mind to return to her childhood
but, as she is distracted by Danny, it takes them back to a children's
home in Gloucester where they meet Danny as a child, whose real name
is actually Rupert. Clara inadvertently inspires him to be a soldier.
She then returns to the present and goes back to the date immediately
after she stormed out. She attempts to reconcile things with Danny,
but he becomes suspicious when she reveals she knows his real name.
This time, he storms out. Clara is then stunned when the Doctor takes
her to meet Orson Pink, a time traveller from 100 years in the future
who has become stranded at the end of the universe. Orson bears a
striking resemblance to Danny (both are played by Samuel Anderson).
Clara realises that Orson is Danny's descendant, and she contemplates
the idea that he is also hers after he remarks that he is descended
from a time traveller. Realising that her future lies with Danny, she
visits him and they reconcile by sharing their first kiss.In the
season's sixth episode, "The Caretaker", a Skovox Blitzer 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, believing he is more suited to the
role of a P.E. teacher (to the point of nicknaming him "P.E."). Clara
struggles to balance her life with the Doctor and her relationship
with Danny, especially as neither one knows about the other. However,
when Danny becomes suspicious of the Doctor's activities, he discovers
the truth about Clara's time-travelling activities. Although he
initially struggles to come to terms with the idea, he gives Clara his
blessing to continue travelling, but warns her that there may come a
time when the Doctor pushes her too far, remembering similar
individuals from his time in the army. Danny Pink Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
