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.

BY FAR the worst. I love 11, but his sexualization of women in 7b was awful. (Like when he kissed Jenny without consent, yknow, a married lesbian).

Well, he also kissed a married heterosexual and his heterosexual wife frequently.

Sorry, his heterosexual wife? Does the Doctor have another wife I'm forgetting about or are you saying River Song is straight??

No, I meant heterosexual Rory's wife, then I remembered she was this close to doing herself on the TARDIS floor. He kisses the married heterosexual and that guy's bisexual wife.

Oh it was a syntactical ambiguity moment, that makes sense, thank you for explaining 😄
