''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'', in all its myriad incarnations, is a bountiful supply of ham. It's one of the things that makes the series so fun.
 
* [[Colin Baker]] as the Sixth Doctor:

"'''''[[I'm a Humanitarian|DINNERTIIIIIIIIIIIIME!!!!!]]'''''" }}
** [[Derek Jacobi]] during the last ten minutes of his performance in the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' New Series episode "Utopia". Having given a subtle, moving performance as the kindly Professor Yana for most of the episode, {{spoiler|he then is transformed into the Doctor's uber-evil arch-foe the Master... and at the same moment, into a really [[Large Ham]]. Consequently, John Simm is a very ''very'' [[Large Ham]], albeit an evil one.}}
** [[John Simm]]'s Master may be the hammiest yet. Four words. "Here! Come! The Drums!"
{{quote| *cue 'Voodoo Child' by Rogue Traders*}}
Line 71:
{{quote|'''Dalek (To the Cyber-leader):''' IT! IS! NOT! WAR! IT! IS! PEST-CONTROL!}}

* Following close behind is [[Doctor Who (TV)/NS/Recap/S2 E5 Rise of the Cybermen|John Lumic, creator of the new Cybermen]]. "And how will [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|you]] '''HAM''' from ''beyond the grave?!''"
* Captain Jack has his hammy moments, mostly on Torchwood, but it's generally scarier when he's delivering a cold [[Hannibal Lecture]] to his {{spoiler|mutinying}} team.
* The [[Big Finish Doctor Who]] audio play ''Omega'' has an in-universe [[Large Ham]] in the form of Daland. A [[Classically-Trained Extra]] on a [[Show Within a Show]], he declares, upon hearing that he might be replaced by a robot: "no mere ''machine'' could do my job!!" To which [[Deadpan Snarker|Sentia]] replies: "I dunno, a fridge could do your job. You can fit a lot of ham in a fridge."
** Also from Big Finish's ''[[Deep Space Nine]]'' parody ''Bang-Bang-A-Boom!'', Patricia Quinn as the outrageous Queen Angvia, the [[Green-Skinned Space Babe|Green Skinned Space]]... ''Valkyrie''.
{{quote| "''Ze Universe can VAIT!'' '''I AM A VOMAN!!!'''"}}
* Big Finish's remake of "[[Doctor Who (TV)/Recap/S17 E6 Shada|Shada]]" features an incredibly Hammy turn from [[Fawlty Towers|Andrew Sachs]] as the [[Sissy Villain|hysterically camp]] [[Big Bad|Skagra]].
{{quote| "''REMOVE'' all the contents of his ''MIND?'' Why not? [[Evil Laugh|Muah-ha-ha!]] ''[[Evil Laugh|Muah-HA-HA!]]'' '''[[Up to Eleven|AH-HAH-HA-HA-HAAAA!]]'''" }}
** Hell, Andrew Sachs even gives ''Adric'' a pretty hamtastic upgrade while voicing his [[Not Good With People|crazy-old-man/scorpion-king]]/[[A God Am I|God-Mode]] self (yes, [[It Makes Sense in Context|you read that right]]) in ''The Boy That Time Forgot.''
Line 98:
{{quote| "''FOR GALLIFREY! FOR VICTORY! FOR THE END... OF TIME...'' '''''ITSELF!!!'''''"<br />
"I. ''Will''. '''NOT DIE!!! ''[[Punctuated for Emphasis|DO]]''! [[Punctuated for Emphasis|YOU! HEAR! ME?!]]'''" }}
* [[Doctor Who (TV)/NS/Recap/S4 E14 The Next Doctor|Jackson Lake]] was probably a lot more... ''florid'' than usual when he ''thought'' he was the Doctor. Those Cyberman infostamps must have come with some kind of Ham template.
* ''The Talons of Weng-Chiang'' features Magnus Greel, an enormously hammy 51st-century time traveler kidnapping girls in Victorian London and draining their life-energy.
{{quote| '''Magnus Greel''': "Let the [[Title Drop|Talons of Weng-Chiang]] SHRED your FLEEEEEESSH! [[Evil Laugh|HAHAHAHAHAHA!]]"}}
Line 106:
{{quote| '''Aris:''' I still control them! ''I am Aris!'' I. HAVE. VOICE!<br />
'''Fifth Doctor:''' YES, SO I HEAR! }}
* The final form of [[Doctor Who (TV)/Recap/S14 E2 The Hand of Fear|Eldrad]], despite only being in one episode, easily produces enough ham to feed a family for months.
{{quote| '''Eldrad''': I CREATED THIS WOOOOOORRRRRRLLLLLLD!!!!!! IT IS MIIIINE!!! MINE BY RIIIGGGHHHT!!!}}
* Also Omega, from ''The Three Doctors'', with the help of some truly hammy scriptwriting.
