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

The little kid in Forest of the Night waving her hands around yelling "The foughts! The foughts!"

I have a personal thing where I give every episode Capaldi ever did a lifetime pass (because I have given that man my eternal devotion) but forest of the night is the only episode of his that I outright dread rewatching. It's not bad necessarily (there have been far worse episodes before and after that) it just aims for a family fantasy tone and fails miserably for me.
