What is your least favourite episode of your favourite show?

Love & Monsters for me. You know an episode's bad when it hints at a character having sex with a paving slab.

Foamy

Love and Monsters, after a stiff competition with Fear Her. The whole thing was cringe-worthy, from start to finish.



But because I enjoy a good bit of juvenile humor, the bit with the slab at the end elicited a chuckle.

Nu Who: Love and Monsters.

Camille Coduri gave a tour-de-force performance as Jackie Tyler in this episode. If you watch only the bits she's in (fast-forwarding through the rest), then it's a terrific bit of story. But the rest is so unbelievably bad everyone forgets about her awesomeness.

Classic Who: Timelash

It narrowly surpasses Time-Flight and Warriors of the Deep. . . or whatever the opposite of "surpass" would be in this case.

The Doctor Who episode I personally disliked the most... From NuWho, it's unfortunately The End of Time. Controversial, I know, and to be fair, there are a few things I like about it, like with most not-so-good episodes. But, to me, it was a disservice to the characters of the Tenth Doctor and the Master, with a regeneration that alienated a significant portion of fans away from the rest of the show. Other episodes may be worse in terms of quality and acting, but this was the story that irritated me the most.

From Classic Who, I'd probably say Time-Flight. I remember just staring at my screen just wondering what on earth I was watching. Warriors of the Deep was pretty dire too, come to think of it.

I could never get into The End of Time, it felt a little too much like Logopolis in that it was missing the point somewhat. It's definitely not the worst of the series, but it's not entertaining either... The one that was the worst to my mind is The Time of the Doctor, which feels in many ways like a rehash of Parting of the Ways and all that particular era's failings on overdrive. It was bits and pieces cobbled together after The Day of the Doctor.

Time-Flight for me too, with some very stiff competition from Time and the Rani and maybe Underworld. It's just so damn dull. Timelash at least has an interesting story buried beneath that is trying to get out. I tend to have a much better opinion of Warriors of the Deep because of the Target novelisation Terrance Dicks wrote that fleshed out some of the characters and threw away the "poor man's Space: 1999" production values.

Worse than Animals or Stardrive??

I find this somewhat of a surprise. I didn't know there was anyone who didn't enjoy A Christmas Carol. In my view, it's not only the show's best Christmas Special so far but also among Steven Moffat's all-time greatest episodes.

The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe is the weakest of the Christmas specials for me. I haven't seen it since it first aired.
