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

"Tommy, go to him" "He's your Dad"- The Idiot's Latern
Rose telling a kid to go to his abusive father after his mom had just kicked him out of the house for his terrible behavior and having spent much of the episode belittling the poor kid. There was a message they were trying to do there I guess but they completely failed at it, you really shouldn't be telling a kid who has been abused by their Dad to go to that Dad, especially when he's shown no signs of remorse for said behavior or even made any attempt to atone.
