16. Slitheen With Bottom Burps
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkHVM3Qf_Hk Series 1 had almost as many mortifying moments as cheer-out-loud ones. Consider the farting Slitheen in the two parter, Aliens of London/World War Three for example. Whilst children of all ages most certainly find passing gas to be one of the most hilarious activities imaginable, it's not something that usually gets quite so much attention in a primetime adventure programme. Most frustrating of all, the persistent farting did not help those fans who were trying to convince their families to continue watching Doctor Who so soon after its return to television.
