20 Worst Moments In Modern Doctor Who
16. Rory’s Bathroom Accident (The Rebel Flesh)
Doctor Who and dodgy CGI. Name a more iconic duo.
While there’s a lot of great creepy body horror in Series 6’s The Rebel Flesh and The Almost People, the scene in part one where Jennifer channels her inner Mr. Fantastic to give Rory the fright of his life in the bathroom is more laughable than anything else.
“JUST LET US LIIIIIIIIIIVE!"
There’s a distracting contrast throughout this story between the excellent practical effects work of the flesh doppelgangers’ normal humanoid forms, and some of the overegged CGI monstrosities they turn into.
Bonus points in this category for the big hulking four-legged Jennifer beast at the end of The Almost People, but it’s her earlier toilet encounter with Rory that truly takes the rubbish biscuit.
