Doctor Who: 11 Worst Costume Disasters Of All Time

5. The Menoptera (The Web Planet)

A failure on the writer€™s part mainly, since he should have realised that his story involving both an alien planet and multiple races would be so vastly overbudget that it would make the entire production team starve for a month. So rather than live on a diet of floorboard dust, they put actors in full body spandex then wrapped feather boas around them. Brilliant. The wings, while well made, are still see through so they don€™t make as much as an impact as the awful headgear, where the eyes are courtesy of the cucumber that women wear when they put a facemask on. While there is something to be said about the sheer will of the makers of 60s Doctor Who that the story was even allowed to run, it doesn€™t excuse this costuming choice. But if you really can€™t stand to look at them, it doesn't really matter anyway. The majority of this story was filmed through a blurry sheen of Vaseline on the lens.
