Some of the worst cliffhangers came when longer episodes were edited down 
into a 25-minute format.

>From the four-part version of The Five Doctors:

Part 1 - Sarah rolls down a very gentle slope.  (This is actually quite 
dramatic and exciting compared to the next two!)

Part 2 - Susan and Turlough watch some Cybermen struggling to coil a 
garden hosepipe.

Part 3 - The Master walks down a musical staircase.  (David Tennant and 
Phil Colinson described this as the worst cliffhanger ever, and I'm not 
going to disagree with them!)
