20 Worst Moments In Modern Doctor Who

14. Dodgy CGI Baby Mouths (Space Babies)

While I can let the mid 2000s CGI issues slide, the same cannot be said for an episode released in 2024.

Space Babies could have been a stronger episode if it wasn’t for the overly distracting CGI mouth movements of the talking babies. This very much feels like an example of "less is more" – the babies could and SHOULD have spoken through a toy or even telepathically – much less work in post production, not to mention cheaper, and yet, by adding the extra detail of moving mouths, the whole concept fell flat and became more of a gimmick than a clever use of VFX.

Not exactly a great note to start your bold new Doctor Who era out on.
