20 Worst Moments In Modern Doctor Who
4. The Slab Who Loved Me (Love & Monsters)
Love and Monsters is often labeled as the worst episode of Series 2, and while I might disagree with that statement, I can absolutely agree that it includes one of the worst moments in the entirety of Modern Doctor Who.
We spend the whole episode waiting for Elton to pluck up the courage to admit his feelings to Ursula only for her to end up being absorbed by the Abzorbaloff before their relationship can blossom. Or so we thought.
The ending vlog reveals that the Doctor managed to sort of save Ursula as a strange pavement face. A weird but happy ending then… that is until Elton reveals that they’ve “even got a bit of a love life.” Leaving the older viewers with some truly horrific mental images and a lot of logistical questions.
Did we really need to know about their love life? No, but as ever, Russell T Davies just couldn’t help himself. No doubt he was absolutely hooting while his keyboard typed these cursed words into the script.
