DOCTOR WHO
NEW THIS WEEK:
"Oh, now what's this, then? I love this. A big, flashy-lighty thing.
That's what brought me here. Big, flashy-lighty things have got me
written all over them. Not actually, but give me time... and a crayon.”
-Eleven

“I’m
on my way to Los Angeles now to stick my head in the pond”--Matt Smith, making 'shippers squeal
Cheeky Billie has let slip that her nickname for Dr Who co-star David Tennant is David Ten-Inch. But she added hastily "I've no grounds for calling him that - I just find it funny."
In a ‘School Holidays’ special
issue of Radio Times, Doctor Who star Matt Smith is interviewed by 13
year old Jack:
JACK: What makes you different from previous Doctors?
MATT: I’m younger, so my skin is a bit smoother. What would you say
makes me different? Bigger ears?
JACK: You’re crazier.
MATT: There you go, I’m crazier.
JACK: How many marks out of ten would you give yourself so far?
MATT: That’s a tough one. Let’s say eight. I’ve two episodes left, so I
can still get to ten. I don’t want to undersell myself.
JACK: We don’t often see the Doctor eating anything. My favourite food
is sausage and mash. What’s yours?
MATT: Spaghetti bolognese, banana sandwiches. I love biscuits with tea
and am partial to a chocolate muffin or two.
"The funny stuff is all down to Catherine Tate--I'm just her
bitch."--David
Tennant

11th Doctor: I'm the Doctor; I'm worse than everybody's aunt!
And that is not how I'm introducing myself.
-The Eleventh Hour
The Silence: "Fear me...I've killed Hundreds of Time Lords"
11th Doctor: "Fear me...I killed them all."
Day of the Moon
"From the day they arrive on the planet, and blinking, step into the sun, there is more to see than can ever be seen, more to do than... no. Sorry, that's The Lion King."--Ten
"An apple a day keeps the.... oh, nevermind."--Five
"Well Sergeant, aren't you going to say that it's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside - everybody else does."--Three
"You know, you're a classic example of the inverse ratio between the size of the mouth and the size of the brain."--Four
Doctor: Human?
Donna: Yes, why, is that optional?
Doctor: It is for me.
The Runaway Bride
The Doctor:(posing as a teacher) So... Physics! Physics, ey? Physics! Phyyyysics! Physics, Physics, Physics, Physics, Physics Physics, Physics, Physics, Physics... I hope you're getting all this down! School Reunion
The Doctor: Correctamundo! A word I've never used before, and
hopefully
never will again...
School Reunion
The Doctor: Oh, brilliant! It's you! You're my favorite, you are!
You
are the best! Know why? 'Cause you're so...thick! You're Mr Thick Thick
Thickety Thickface, from Thicktown, Thickania! And so's your dad!
Girl In The Fireplace
Fashion-Bot: "Where did you get that weapon? You were unarmed!"
Captain Jack : "Ladies....You DON'T want to know."
Bad Wolf
Paul O'Grady: [on TV] Do you know what? I look up and there's all
these
moons and things, have you seen them? Do you see them?
[the audience agrees]
Paul O'Grady: What was I drinking last night? Furniture polish?
[Ianto laughs at the television screen]
Captain Jack Harkness: Ianto, time and a place!
Ianto Jones: It is funny though.
The Stolen Earth
Captain Jack Harkness: I met a soldier in a bar...
[Ianto shoots him a death glare]
Captain Jack Harkness: [to Martha] Long story.
Ianto Jones: When was that?!
Captain Jack Harkness: Strictly professional!
The Stolen Earth
Doctor (Nine): If ever he was a captain, he's been defrocked.
Rose (smiling):Yeah, shame I missed that.
Jack: Actually I quit. Nobody takes my frock.
The Doctor Dances
9th Doctor: "Rose... you
were fantastic... absolutely fantastic -- and d'you
know
what? So was I..."
- The Parting of
the Ways
9th Doctor:"That'll never
last. He's gay, and she's an alien."
Rose
BARBARA (trying to tell the Doctor that the TARDIS has landed):
Doctor,
the trembling's stopped.
THE DOCTOR: Oh, my dear! I'm so glad you're feeling better.
BARBARA: No! Not me, the ship!
The Rescue
VICKI (on the Beatles): I didn't know they played classical music!
The Chase
BARBARA: You're from Earth?
MORTON C. DILL: No, ma'am. I'm from Alabama.
The Chase
THE DOCTOR: The power cable generated an electrical field and
confused
their tiny metal minds. You might almost say they've had a complete
metal
breakdown.
JAMIE: Oooo!
THE DOCTOR: Sorry.
The Tomb of the Cybermen
THE DOCTOR: Logic, my dear Zoe, merely enables one to be wrong with
authority.
The Wheel in Space
THE DOCTOR: You know Jo, I sometimes think that "military
intelligence"
is a contradiction in terms.
Terror of the Autons
JO: So that was some sort of spell that you said?
THE DOCTOR: He thought it was. That's why he ran away. Actually it
was the first line of a Venusian lullaby. Roughly translated, it goes,
"Close your eyes, my darling; well, three of them at least."
[The Daemons]
THE DOCTOR: Allow me to congratulate you, sir. You have the most
totally
closed mind that I've ever encountered.
[Frontier in Space]
THE DOCTOR: You humans have got such limited, little minds. I don't
know why I like you so much.
SARAH: Because you have such good taste.
THE DOCTOR: That's true! That's very true.
[The Masque of Mandragora]
THE DOCTOR: I wonder...
LEELA: What?
THE DOCTOR: Shh! I'm wondering.
[The Face of Evil]
THE DOCTOR: You know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one
thing in common: they don't alter their views to fit the facts, they
alter
the facts to fit the views, which can be uncomfortable, if you happen
to
be one of the facts that needs altering.
[The Face of Evil]
THE DOCTOR: Answers are easy. It's asking the right questions which
is hard.
[The Face of Evil]
THE DOCTOR: You're a classic example of the inverse relationship
betweeen
the size of the mouth and the size of the brain.
[The Robots of Death]
THE DOCTOR: I never carry weapons. If people see you mean them no
harm,
they never hurt you. Nine times out of ten...
[The Robots of Death]
THE DOCTOR: Should we try using our intelligence?
LEELA: Well, if you think that's a good idea.
[The Invisible Enemy]
BORUSA: You have access to the greatest source of knowledge in the
universe.
THE DOCTOR: Well, I do talk to myself sometimes...
[The Invasion of Time]
THE DOCTOR: Professor, when we were by the river, we heard the
strange
babble of inhuman voices, didn't we, Romana?
PROFESSOR CHRONOTIS: Oh, undergraduates talking, I expect. I'm trying
to have it banned.
[Shada]
THE DOCTOR: First things first, but not necessarily in that order.
[Meglos]
NYSSA: It sounds as if it might be some sort of neutral environment.
An isolated space cut off from the rest of the universe.
TEGAN: If that's all the Doctor needs, I could have shown him around
Brisbane!
[Castrovalva]
TURLOUGH (to Tegan): You look so sweet when you get angry.
[Terminus]
THE DOCTOR (to Peri): America doesn't have a monopoly on bad taste.
[Revelation of the Daleks]
THE DOCTOR: Weapons. Always useless in the end.
[Remembrance of the Daleks]
THE DOCTOR: Anybody remotely interesting is mad, in some way or
another.
[Remembrance of the Daleks]
ACE (when the Doctor won't let her help defuse a bomb): I never get
to have any fun!
[The Happiness Patrol]
GWENDOLINE: I think Mr. Matthews is confused.
THE DOCTOR: Never mind. I'll have him completely bewildered by the
time I'm finished.
ACE: I'll help.
[Ghost Light]
THE DOCTOR: Who was it said Earthmen never invite their ancestors
round
to dinner?
[Ghost Light] (Douglas Adams, by the
way!!)
GRACE: Maybe you have selective amnesia brought on by shock.
THE DOCTOR: Maybe. I don't remember.
[Doctor Who-The Movie]
GRACE: Doctor? I only have one life. Can you remember that?
THE DOCTOR: I'll try.
[Doctor Who-The Movie]
"I have a very quick temper and very long claws!"

The Doctor, City of Death
"Please do not throw hands at me."
D84, The Robots of Death
"I may have had a bang on the head, but this is a dashed queer
story!"
Professor Litefoot, The Talons of
Weng-Chiang
"Well, you're an agent aren't you?"
"No, I'm the Doctor. I keep telling you that."
"Yes, but who do you work for?"
"Work for? I don't work for anybody. I'm just having fun."
Rigg and the Doctor, Nightmare of
Eden
"Why are Earth people so...parochial?"
The Doctor, The Visitation
"That sounded awfully close."
"Some sort of subterranean wind effect, I should think."
[A roar sounds]
"Who're you kidding?"
"Myself, chiefly."
Sarah and the Doctor, Death to the
Daleks
"I might be able to help."
"That's what worries me!"

"To the rational mind nothing is inexplicable, only unexplained."
The Doctor, The Robots of Death
"Don't you think it would be simpler to use a computer?"
"Yes, they're very useful for digital analysis...but I rarely
use them -- except when I have to. There is one thing you could do
for me that would be very important."
"Yes, yes -- anything. What is it?"
"Lend me a pencil."
Clent and the Doctor, The
Ice Warriors
"Perhaps everyone runs from the tax man?"
Leela, The Sun Makers
"They are aggressive, callous and unfeeling. Don't expect them to
act
as you do! They are alien -- from another world."
"Well so are you, Doctor."
"Oh dear, you've got me there!"
The Doctor and Senex, The Dominators
ACE: What's going on, Doctor?
THE DOCTOR: Adventure, excitement, that
sort of thing.

best
at, that's what I say!"
The Doctor, Nightmare of Eden
"You know, I don't think these cows know anything about the Time
Scanner."
The Doctor, Image of the Fendahl
"We're on the edge of the cosmos! The frontiers of creation! The
boundary
between what is and isn't or isn't yet, anyway. Do you think that's
interesting?"
"I suppose so."
The Doctor and Leela, Underworld
"Killing me isn't going to help you -- and it isn't going to do me
much
good either."
The Doctor, The Face of Evil
"Later, you will be tortured, questioned and killed!"
"Well, I hope you get it in the right order!"
The Nimon and the Doctor, The Horns of Nimon
"There's no comfort in dying. I always said it was the last thing I
wanted to do!"
Garron, The Ribos Operation
The Doctor:"Our lives are different to anybody's else's, that's the
exciting
thing!
Nobody in the universe can do what we're doing..."
The Tomb of the Cybermen
"Shall we take the lift, or fly?"
"Let's not be ostentatious."
"All right, let's fly then."
"That would be silly. We'll take the lift."
The Doctor and Romana, City of Death
The Doctor:"For some people, small beautiful things is what life is all
about!"
Earthshock
"How do we look?"
"Oh, good gracious! Absolutely absurb! Why you want to dress yourselves
up like convicts I can't imagine. You're asking for trouble."
Dodo and the Doctor, The Gunfighters
The Doctor:"You've had this place redecorated, haven't you? I don't
like it!"
The Five Doctors
The Doctor:"Oh, I used my own special technique: keeping my eyes open
and my
mouth
shut!"
The Tomb of the Cybermen
The Doctor:"There's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish
sometimes."
Robot
The Doctor:"The trouble with computers, of course, is that they're very
sophisticated
idiots."
Robot
"Where to now, Ace?"
"Home."
"Home?"
"The TARDIS."
"Yes, the TARDIS." [As the Doctor
leads Ace back to the TARDIS, he
tell his companion] "There are worlds out there where the sky is
burning,
and the sea's asleep and the rivers dream. People made of smoke and
cities
made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice,
somewhere
else the tea's getting cold. Come on, Ace, we've got work to do."
