Series 3 finale Last of the Time Lords is commonly known as "The Space Jesus episode", and if it isn't, it should be.

The Tenth Doctor suddenly gaining godlike powers is pretty dumb no doubt, but it's easy to forget how ridiculous he looked immediately before this.

He begins the episode as an old man, as the Master has aged him by 100 years. As a further display of his power, the Master then ages the Doctor by an extra 900 years, and... yeah.

He looks like a little shrivelled peanut man.

This pickled house elf emerges from a pile of the Doctor's clothes in what is meant to be a heart-wrenching moment. Instead, it looks like somebody left Yoda out in the sun for too long. Somebody get this man some face cream!

Aside from the laughable way in which the aged Doctor is depicted, it doesn't even make sense for a Time Lord to change this much in just 1,000 years, which is pocket change for them.

It's a good thing the rest of this episode slaps. Apart from the Space Jesus bit.
