Worst Episode Ever?
Glancing at the Outpost Gallifrey forums before bed, I noticed that someone had finally posted the combined results of the last round of cross-medium 'what's your favourite story?' voting. The answer is still Spare Parts, while The Talons of Weng-Chiang is the top story most people have actually heard of.
The bottom story, on the other hand, was the book version of The Ghosts of N-Space. While this is a legendarily bad story, I don't think I'd say it was the worst Doctor Who in all its occasionally glorious badness has to offer. Even given the Elvis impersonator. My nominations?
If I have to stick to TV stories, Time-Flight gets the wooden spoon. Pointless, annoying, boring tripe that looks like it was made for approximately $1.50.
My least favourite of all, though? The Unbound audio Exile, one of the few Doctor Who stories that personally offends me [1]. It's is disgustingly sexist without the excuse of having been made in the last century, but far worse, it's not funny. "The Doctor regenerates into a woman and promptly becomes an incompetent drunk" is probably the least good idea for a story in the history of anything ever. Offensive on every possible level, and made me think less of everyone involved.
So, what's your most hated Doctor Who?
[1] As opposed to the absolute legion that are offensive in the more general sense. To give you an idea how hard I am to offend, I am the card-carrying feminist who owns Sin City on DVD.

For worst audio evar, I'd have to say "Creed of the Kromon" - although I've only heard about 25 minutes of it, because that was all I could take.
For TV... I think I'm with you on Time Flight or possibly that awful one with the licorice allsorts monster (the name of which, I've scoured from my memory)
I've only just started catching up with the books (that's my reading list for the next three years sorted...) but recently I was completely and utterly underwhelmed by Halflife, an EDA by Mark Michalowski (sp?)

It is memorably awful, but I hate Minuet in Hell even more. Not even the Brig could save that one for me, I'm afraid.

It's The Happiness Patrol, if you were morbidly curious *g*.

It's a horrible audio all around, but the appalling accents are the last nail in the coffin.
