Watching this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4tYcP-0KsY with:
"NO, not the mind probe!"
and
"My dreeaaaammmsss of CONQUEST!"
:D:D
It got me thinking; what other really hilarious and/or poorly delivered lines have there been throughout Doctor Who's history?

Yes I know it wasnt in the actual show like that, but the recording made me cringe.
"No I shan't... you shan't take him" and later "no no Sabor my love, why, why..." Had she got some sort of dirt on Barry Letts - can't imagine why she was cast otherwise!
And then of course there is the plank of wood named Rick James, arguably the very worst actor ever cast in Doctor Who. Whatever was the casting director thinking? A part written as a chirpy cockney chappie, so they cast an inexperienced West Indian... hmmm... was this some sort of old school colonial in joke on the part of the director. The character's called Cotton, so let's get a West Indian... not funny whatever way you look at it. Poor Rick James was horribly miscast, though his acting ability was so lacking, his timing all wrong, his diction and delivery just hopeless, he couldn't even stand still convincingly - so frankly he'd have been miscast in absolutely anything.
It wasnt in the show so it doesnt count. :rolleyes:
1. The Watcher! So he was the Doctor all along!
2. I know so little about telebiogenesis.
3. What is this dreadful place?! (exploring Terminus)
Not just a badly delivered line though, it was just a terrible line in general XD
(I know I'm the only person in the entire universe who thinks this).
Good one - but (he asks cheekily, then runs away and hides from the irate sh*tstorm that will surely follow) that's from Dimensions In Time isn't it? So is it canon...?

I wouldn't say it was badly delivered but that moment as a whole is overrated, IMO.
I find the "I said no" line from Bad Wolf a much more powerful scene from that era.

Ace trivialising the sensitive issue of racial hatred with a sub-Grange Hill performance from Sophie.
I haaaaaaaaaaaate yoouu. xD
It was a line used in the show, and that is how it was delivered in a recording by the star of the show so why doesnt it count? are you making up the rules?
Its crap and it counts
In The Wedding of River Song, Amy's 'You took my baby from, and you hurt her, but now she's fine' is an awful line, and awful expressed. Karen Gillan has always been incapable of delivering lines right.
"How utterly evil!"
"There's nothing you can do to prevent the catharsis of spurious morality!"
Ah. Episode 14 of The Trial of a Time Lord. It's as though the actors really wanted to convey the crapness of Pip and Jane's script.
Terrible isn't it? So amateurish.
