20 Worst Moments In Modern Doctor Who
5. CHOCOLAAAAAAAAATE (The Vanquishers)
If you’d told someone in 2020 that one of the most divisive Doctor Who moments of the next few years would be a Sontaran addicted to chocolate, then you know what, they probably would’ve believed you, this is Doctor Who and crazy stuff happens!
With the potato-heads having finally conquered our feeble little rock, they start to get a taste of human culture, which leads to one particular Sontaran developing an insatiable appetite for our sweet, delicious chocolate. He stuffs it down his gullet like an excited kid on Christmas morning, before proclaiming "CHOCOLAAAAATE" with a crazy, sugar-induced look in his eyes.
It’s… quite gross actually. But also weirdly mesmerising.
Chris Chibnall was initially praised for balancing the comedic and serious aspects of the Sontarans better than in the Moffat era, where they were 100% comedic relief. But then along came a couple of Mars bars to completely destroy all that good work. We don’t remember any of the great Sontaran scenes in Flux anymore – all we remember is, “CHOCOLAAAAAAAAAATE”.
Now if you’ll excuse me I’m off to scoff a Galaxy Ripple before the next entry.
