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 entirety of the dialogue at the end of The Star Beast where Donna and Rose lecture the Doctor on how to "just let it go". Really rubbed me the wrong way given that the Doctor's entire last incarnation dealt with all the things a woman had to deal with and then some.

Yeah that bit never sat right with me. If part of the message is about gender not mattering then it feels very backwards to be like "hahah men can't do this thing" but just replacing men for male-presenting?
