This article needs a big cleanup.

Article needs to adhere more closely to just what is in DWU. Topic is valid, though, since the ninth Doctor says "Would you mind not farting while I'm trying to save the world?" Article might need to be re-retitled Farting.

These problems might be so great that the article's factual accuracy has been compromised. Talk about it here or check the revision history or Manual of Style for more information.

The Abzorbaloff farts, to the discomfort of his absorbed victims. (DW: Love & Monsters)

Flatulence or 'farting' was a bodily process that affected some species, involving the expulsion of gas.

Many people thought farting humourous. (SJA: Revenge of the Slitheen)

Amongst humans

Farting was frowned upon by humans, due to its foul smell and loud noise. Many humans, though, thought farting humourous. (SJA: Revenge of the Slitheen) Ingestion of food such as cabbage, (SJA: Revenge of the Slitheen) and baked beans, (K9TV: The Bounty Hunter) could induce it.

Among the Raxacoricofallapatorian species

When members of the Slitheen family used Compression fields to fit themselves into human skin suits, it caused a condition called 'gas exchange' which was similar to farting but with a smell like bad breath. This was due to calcium decay as Raxacoricofallapatorians were a calcium-based species. (DW: Aliens of London / World War Three)

When Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen, in the form of Margaret Blaine, took Cathy Salt to the toilets to kill her, she noted her "little tummy" was "complaining" when she farted loudly. Soon after, when she farted after entering the toilet, Cathy remarked, "Sounds like we got here just in time.". (DW: Boom Town)

Other instances

Farting was still possible after death, as the living dead man Owen Harper discovered shortly after being brought back to life by the resurrection gauntlet. (TW: Dead Man Walking)

When the Abzorbaloff, who came from a neighboring world to Raxacoricofallapatorius, called Clom, absorbed Bliss, her face ended up on his right buttock. When Elton Pope asked where she was, the Abzorbaloff lifted himself up, farting as Bliss told him he didn't want to know. (DW: Love & Monsters)
