15. Fugitive Doctor (Jo Martin)

As a distinctive character, I think the Fugitive Doctor was always going to rank low on my list, but I could see her potentially outlasting a few others if not for how egregiously bad her very existence is. Steven Moffat made some QUESTIONABLE choices with regards to the Doctor's regeneration timeline...but at least he still kept within the show's boundaries of logic. Chris Chibnall just didn't give a fuck. He destroyed entire universes and made the Doctor so monumentally important that she was actually the basis for all Time Lords and their ability to regenerate.

The Fugitive Doctor is the amalgamation of all of the Doctor's pre-William Hartnell time, having apparently served on a spec ops team and imprisoned bad guys and all that good stuff. But eventually, she fled and disguised herself via a fob watch, and the end result was a storyline that COULD have been interesting...but instead was just pointless and way too full of itself. Jo Martin carried herself with the gravitas and flair necessary to portray the Doctor, but ultimately, she just felt so pointless and tacked onto the season in an unnecessary fashion. It would've been really cool is the Doctor was crossing paths with her next regeneration of something, like a sneak peak for the fans...but instead, this wound up being an awful plot twist.

Hint for #14: Interacted with the Master.
