Doctor Who: Every Tenth Doctor Episode Ranked From Worst To Best

35. Love & Monsters

Doctor Who The End of Time
BBC Studios

Love & Monsters took a huge risk with the Doctor Who formula, and it didn't pay off.

While there's some fun to be had in watching Elton's vlogs and the formation of LINDA, there's just nothing here that's as exciting or as clever as you'd expect a Doctor Who episode to be.

It could've been elevated with a truly fantastic villain, but it instead has one of the worst villains in the history of the show. Even Peter Kay regrets his turn as the Abzorbaloff, saying, "I’m a big green lizard running around Cardiff? Is that it?"

Yes, Peter. That's it.

Throw in a final gag that has aged as poorly as the Abzorbaloff's cheap green suit, and Love & Monsters is an easy selection for the bottom part of this list.

An avid cinephile, love Trainspotting (the film, not the hobby), like watching bad films ironically (The Room, Cats) and hate my over-reliance on brackets (they’re handy for a quick aside though).
