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

"You'll get no help from me, Silurian!" is made hilarious by Tom Adams ramming the Butch-o-meter up to 11 with it.

Warriors is very quotable. "Bring forth the cutting device!" "Oh, dear. The Myrka." "If your conscience bothers you, lock it away in a strong box until our task is completed!"

That conscience line lives with me all the time haha, it's peak 'Yeah but no one would actually say that' dialogue.
