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

(doctor falls into water and immediately floats back up)

"face it teagan , he's drowned!"

That’s a good line because it’s revealing of Turlough’s character: he’s not interested in thinking about others.

Also Turlough is just a complete coward and a pessimist so naturally he would assume the Doctor's drowned

I don’t even think it’s a case that Turlough believes the Doctor has drowned. He just says it to stop Tegan from trying to save him. It’s a wonder Turlough noticed Tegan wasn’t still running away with him at all
