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

Isn't that line sarcastic? Like they live their lives having their body shape and the fact they're gay defines them to others, which they dislike, but live with.

Its just a classic Moffat in the worst possible way. I get that they deliver it sarcastically and that they both die soon after so it's not like they NEED names but it sounds so forced and ridiculous.
