20 Worst Moments In Modern Doctor Who
1. The Abzorbaloff (Love & Monsters)
Love & Monsters is so bad that it holds the dubious honour of being given a second entry in this list. While the rest of the episode is actually pretty sweet and an interesting story to tell, it all goes down the toilet in the final 15 minutes.
Every single second that Peter Kay is onscreen as the Abzorbaloff is just bad. Bad, bad, bad! And not good bad, either – the kind of bad that gives Doctor Who a bad reputation. The kind of bad that wouldn’t feel out of place in a comedy sketch.
This alien may have been designed by a child, but that doesn’t excuse the woeful direction and performance that brought it to life, and in fact, the world would be a better place had it never been brought to life at all.
Peter Kay has since admitted that this episode is one of the only regrets of his career, and you know what… I can see why.
