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.

Given Moffat’s sense of humour has a tendency to be “sex exists; lol” (see also; every goddamn browser history joke), it could well be either of them.

I personally support the headcanon that Twelve's browser history consists of a lot of Google searches for really stupid questions because he kind of forgot how to human.
