Doctor Who: 10 Most Cringeworthy Moments Of The Revived Series So Far

by Tony Whitt

1. Sex With A Concrete Slab (Love And Monsters)

C'mon, admit it. You knew this had to be at the top of the list, didn't you? Mind you, there's a sizable and vocal contingent of fans out there who think that the entirety of Love and Monsters should be included on this list, especially given the presence of the Abzorbaloff. Something tells us, though, that it's actually Peter Kay that people are reacting against so viciously and not the monster itself. Besides, both of these elements pale in comparison to the horror that is Elton's revelation that he and Ursula (who is now a deathless face in a paving slab, by the way) still have "a bit of a love life".

This, in a "family programme," ladies and gentlemen. A character basically admitting that he puts his tallywacker into a paving slab. Words fail us, except to say you never got that sort of thing during the JNT era... and that's where you'd probably expect it. The mind boggles.

What did you think of this list? Are there any cringeworthy moments from the revived series that should've been included? Let us know in the comments section below.
