Caves of Androzani. It's tedious, highly derivative (and derivative of the already fairly lame and derivative "Phantom of the Opera", at that), and I've never managed to actually stay awake through the entire thing. Also, it features the whiniest companion ever, the stupidest "touching" self-sacrifice (DUDE, enough with the idiotic quest for bat milk; just spare us the pain of the coming season and let her die, all right? Seriously, does it make a difference plot-wise whether you unceremoniously give her to Caveman Brian Blessed or to the Phantom of the Quarry?), and it contains a sum total of 70 seconds of watchable senes; 30 of them are the secretary overthrowing the company, and the other 40 are all Colin Baker. And 70 seconds out of what feels like a goddamn thirty-two part story or something (I can't quite remember how many it is - I think I usually sleep through 12 or 13 of the episodes) is not much.
