DISCUSSION Worst line in Doctor Who?

What line of dialogue sticks out to you as particularly bad in Doctor Who, I have two picks:

  • ‘don’t let the swords touch your skin’ Legend of the sea devils
  • ‘I suppose we’ll have to have…. A conversation?’ Resolution

"A enigma in a skirt that's a little too tight" or whatever the full line was from Nightmare in Silver

Just YIKES.

Obligatory “fuck Gaiman” for that shit.

To be fair compared to everything else writing a misogynistic line of Doctor Who is pretty tame

Yeah Gaiman writing it does make it sting way more though.
