4. The Sixth Doctors Outfit (his entire eye-watering run)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=714q1r74xLs Dont get me wrong, I like the Sixth Doctor. In fact, the Sixth and the Eighth are two of my favorites, and this is due almost entirely to the audio adventures. With
the Eighth (and also
here), its because, well, otherwise we have only the movie appearance for him. With
the Sixthits not entirely because I cant see his outfit, but, frankly, it helps. What can I say about it, really? Just look at the damn thing. Look at it! Then keep looking at it! Now keep looking at it across two seasons of stories! Argh, its awful. Baker hated the hell out of it, and by virtue of that alone, the fanboys should give him a break. His idea was that the Doctor should wear a black suit and a tie. I dont know if that would have helped the ratings, but it sure couldnt have hurt.
3. The Slitheen (Aliens of London/World War Three, Boom Town and some The Sarah Jane Adventures episodes)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xg6UY-0b7U If you want a great example of what was wrong with the RTD era of Doctor Who, take a look at these guys. They, along with the following two items, all go to prove something Ive often said about Davies; hes a great writer, but he cant take science fiction seriously. The Slitheen are a great example of this. They came to Earth with a very stupid plan, but no stupider than some (see: The Dalek Invasion of Earth), and are, at times, actually menacing. But then any air of menace is destroyed when they start farting. Which they do. A lot. Im sure all the junior high school kids out there loved it, though possibly Im not giving them the credit they deserve. The characters work marginally better in SJA, but thats like saying youd rather eat ten servings of Mexican food instead of ten servings of Indian food. At the end of the experience, youre still left with a lot of crap. (note to Mexicans and Indians: I apologize for comparing your fine cooking to the Slitheen)
