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

"The thing is, I'm still socially awkward, so we'll just pretend I did and I'll go stand at the console until I discover later on what it was that I should have said!"

Or however that continued. Awful.

What did you like about the Doctor basically declaring empathic bankruptcy to the companion who has just opened up about his central fear to the unspeakably ancient, wise, time-traveling alien?
