10 Dumb Doctor Who Moments You Can't Help But Love

While it can be very silly at times, Doctor Who does also need to be scary for it to work.

Unfortunately, the line between silly and scary sometimes gets a little blurred, including this scene from the Tenth Doctor's two-part finale, The End of Time.

The Master is hiding out in a junkyard, recently returned to life by a group of his followers. He's hungry - ravenous in fact - and decides to chow down on a tasty-looking burger. However, he starts to enjoy the meal a little too much, which freaks out two bystanders. Oh, and he also eats the poor burger van lady, because he's a dick.

This sequence concludes with John Simm screaming the gloriously cheesy line "DINNER TIME!" before leaping into the air and pouncing on his next meal.

This is Doctor Who melodrama at its very best. A ridiculous premise performed in a ridiculous manner, to the point where the threat of the Master is almost compromised.

However, Simm had already built up such goodwill with his version of the character, that the scene is also very easy to enjoy.
