I particularly hate episodes from the new series that don't feature the Doctor and co as the main characters; e.g, Love and Monsters...actually, I can't think of any others. I suppose I hate Love and Monsters then! It was really, really bad.

I must argue that Fear Her wasn't really the worst. I'd just say it dragged a little. But the main plot was good, just the bits in between.

The others were Blink and Turn Left, but I agree above Love and Monsters is one I don't go out of my way to watch again.

I could have cared less for Turn Left, Fear Her...

Turn Left? Seriously? That's one of the best of the series as far as I'm concerned. Wow.

Anyway, Fear Her was the worst of the new series. I don't know that it's actively bad so much as actively boring. I don't know that I've ever re-watched it.

The closet monster is pretty scary, but over-all the episode is as dull as a Kroton Dance Recital.

I hated Turn Left pretty intensely -- it's the only one of the new Who episodes I've ever bothered to savage in detail on SC. People seem to love Midnight, but I couldn't stand that one either.

42 was pretty awful, too.

ooh I forgot to mention another bad one Dimensions in Time...I think MST3K would have had fun with that episode. Major fail...

Fear her and Love and Monsters are both awful. Love and Monsters has ELO tho, so that makes is slightly less bad.

Now my least favorite is End of Time. I've watched it several times now and hate it worse and worse each time. Bernard Cribbons is fantastic, though. Rubbish. I'd rather watch Happiness Patrol or Greatest Show in the Galaxy. And that says something...

I wish ELO could save that story for me, but sadly this tops my worst story list.

As for a Guilty pleasure story, Not sure, but I love the Chase and yet I read about so many who don't, so maybe that one is it. I don't feel guilty though.

I like The Chase, it is a fun little romp. And it has Mechonoids!

The more time passes, the closer to the top of my "This is rubbish!" list The End of Time gets. So many wonderful performances and neat character bits wasted by being crammed into a tangled, virtually nonsensical script...

I'm sure I will get some flack for this this, but I just watched Robot, and I think it was utterly stupid. Aside from Tom's performance (and even that was annoying at times) it had crap effects, a stupid plot line and terrible acting. I'm sure many will disagree. Other than that, I find even the bad classic episodes enjoyable. Horns of Nimon was the first Doctor Who episode I ever saw on PBS and it got me hooked. As for the new series, I find most episodes unwatchable. The possibilities with special effects and large budget are endless, and they waste it by doing the same old stuff time and time again. Some of the new monsters are very silly also. So I guess I'm a strange one.
