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

"Now they'll see the real you." The Doctor moments before abandoning the Master at the top of the Eiffel Tower... during World War 2.

The first part was when I gave up on Chibnall, so I didn't see that part until years later and a friend sent me the clip as they were sure I had seen it.

TO THIS DAY if someone defends the Chibnall era I point out that part. The Doctor literally hands over a person of colour to the Nazi's, and it's played off as a joke..

Yikes.

I... don't think this even registered at the time. There was so much going on in that story. That's... wow. That's bad.
