As one of my student drinking buddies used to say, "Dignity?! There is no dignity!!" So, yeah, about as embarrassing as a student drinking session, really.

I guess some people will like it, saying it shows the Doctor showing real emotion, responding realistically to his predicament etc, but for me it was reminiscent of the terrible "they break my heart" thing from The Next Doctor - just an excuse for pure angst-wallowing, and completely unworthy of a stoic, selfless hero like the good Doctor.

Although you could argue it was totally in character for Ten as written by Rusty...
