10 Worst Doctor Who Episodes According To YOU

Fear Her seems to have dethroned Love & Monsters as Tennant's least-popular episode as time has gone by. Is that deserved? Well, it's certainly a contender.

The 2012 Olympics setting means that the episode is a little dated now, but that’s far from its biggest failing. No, that’d be the plot, the antagonist, the effects, and the supporting cast. So pretty much everything.

Ten and Rose find themselves pitted against Chloe Webber, a child possessed by a lonely jellyfish, whose superpowers include turning people into drawings and speaking only in whispers at all times. The plot trundles along at a snail’s pace, and has one of the highest cringe-per-minute ratios in modern Doctor Who.

Meanwhile, Rose befriends certified legend and walking meme, Kel the Council Worker, who is a shining light in the dark. Rose also fights an angry scribble, but the less said about that, the better.

In the end, the Doctor takes it upon himself to steal the Olympic Torch and light the Olympic Flame, but what’s more impressive is that he isn’t tackled to the ground and arrested.

Despite a few funny moments – like the TARDIS materialising facing a shipping container, or the Doctor nonchalantly helping himself to some marmalade in the middle of a serious conversation – it's not enough to save an episode whose script we can only assume resembles that scribble monster quite closely.
