26. When Bins Attack, Eat You And Then... Erm, Burp...
Well, this definitely set the precedent for Doctor Who WTF moments, didn't it? It was bad enough when Rose Tyler made that wisecrack about the Nestene Consciousness taking over breast implants but let's not forget the single most ridiculous moment from the NuWho premiere which, as NuWho's most ridiculous moments often do, involved everybody's favourite would be tin dog Mickey Smith. Oh, and a burping wheelie bin. And how on Earth didn't Rose realise that Mickey had been swapped with a plastic doppelgänger of himself, by the way?! She's shamelessly self absorbed at the best of times but surely the fact he kept twitching and had transformed into a creepy human doll would've been enough to raise her suspicions. Evidently not.
