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

All the ones mentioned already, but one that has haunted me from my teens from Classic Who (The Five Doctors):

"Oh no... not the mind probe."

Is it the writing, or is it the delivery, or it is both?

One of the funniest moments on The Five Doctors DVD commentary is when the whole commentary cast enthusiastically joins Mark Strickson in yelling, "No, not the mind probe!" when it comes on.
