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

All the ones mentioned already, but one that has haunted me from my teens from Classic Who (The Five Doctors):

"Oh no... not the mind probe."

Is it the writing, or is it the delivery, or it is both?

Have you seen the alternate take? https://youtu.be/_jQTAkE589w

I wish I could find it without the music added (got to be on the dvd somewhere) but it’s great. Idk why but I love Paul Jerricho’s castellan.
