10 Times Doctor Who Wanted You To Hate It

10. Rickston Survives (Voyage Of The Damned)

As Doctor Who's take on a classic disaster movie there are a lot of characters who bite the dust in Voyage of the Damned, and most of them are quite likeable.

But true to form it’s not just the good guys that make it out the other side, with loyal crew member "Allons-y" Alonso Frame and lovable tour guide Mr Copper joined by arrogant businessman Rickston Slade.

Slade is exactly the type of guy you wouldn't want to find yourself stuck on a crashed spaceship with. Or stuck anywhere with, really. He spends all his time on the Titanic looking out for himself, refusing to give a helping hand when needed, making lots of rude comments and just generally being a dick.

To twist the knife even further he actually profits from the ordeal too, having sold his shares in Max Capricorn Cruiseliners shortly before the Titanic crashed.

He’s one of those characters that exists to remind us that life isn’t fair, and was designed with the sole purpose of being hateable. As Mr Copper puts it, "if you could decide who lives and who dies, that would make you a monster."

Quite right, but we all still wanted to see Rickston sliced up by one of those golden frisbees, didn't we?
