The Top 6 Worst Episodes Of Modern Who

Sometimes, Doctor Who gets it wrong. I'm not ashamed as a dedicated fan to admit that since the show returned in 2005, there have been a handful of absolutely terrible episodes that either get their respective tones wrong or leave you feeling like the last forty five minutes were wasted when you could have been having fun. Here's my top six:
6. THE HUNGRY EARTH- Its intentions are good, but so little actually happens in this one that it's easy to get bored, not to mention the fact that it sports perhaps the worst cliffhanger since Who returned ("Look what I've found, a big cave! Wow!!" Cut to credits).
5. 42- Trying too hard to juggle the Mr Saxon arc of Series Three and an epic race against time, 42 felt like a wasted opportunity to take the series into dark territory. Plus, what the heck were those monsters meant to be?
4. THE LONG GAME- These next few are all particularly loathsome, but there was just too much going on here- Rose was reduced to a mere two or three lines, and Simon Pegg didn't get enough chance to shine!
3. BOOM TOWN- Okay, so the resturant scenes between Chris Eccleston's Doctor and antagonist Margaret Blaine were funny to watch, yet this is another example of Who going domestic unsuccessfully.
2. THE IDIOT'S LANTERN- God, was the Wire annoying! David Tennant does a great turn as a vengeful Doc when Rose loses her face, but otherwise this was a bog-standard historical episode with terribly mundane guest stars. Watch this, and you're facing the ultimate endurance test...
1. FEAR HER-...unless of course you sit through this, which makes number 2 seem like an Oscar winner. Try as it might to convince us it was a cool glimpse at the 2012 London Olympics, Fear Her was in reality a story on low-budget, and it showed. Scribble monsters? Really?
