Doctor Who: 10 Worst Episodes Of NuWho

Worst. Episodes. Ever.

Let's face it, Doctor Who is the best show on television. After all, it's been lighting up our screens since 1963 and it even got axed and lived to tell the tale, so it's definitely been doing something right. Sometimes, though, even something that's so very right can get it very, very wrong. Before you read any further, though, please allow us to point out that this isn't just an excuse to hate on the ongoing escapades of TV's favourite Time Lord. It's been scientifically proven that even the 'worst' Doctor Who episodes are better than the rest of what the televisual market has to offer, so saying that an episode is bad isn't even that much of an insult, really. A bad episode of Doctor Who is still great, it's just not as good as Doctor Who can be, which is what makes it so frustrating. Doctor Who fans are notorious complainers but they're (usually) only complaining when there's something worth complaining about. Your favourite show not reaching its potential is as good enough reason as any to moan and whine, right? And here are 10 episodes from the revived series that definitely fall into that controversial category. These are the ones that had so much potential but, for whatever reason, failed to live up to the expectations that preceded them. Rather surprisingly, a lot of them are about a little thing called love. Not really sure what that says about us, but that's a discussion for another day. Onwards!
