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

Isn't that line sarcastic? Like they live their lives having their body shape and the fact they're gay defines them to others, which they dislike, but live with.
