Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes
The Time Meddler – Episode 1 – The Watcher
Vicki: This isn't an ordinary ship, you know. This is a time machine.
Steven: Time? Look, this ship may have a way-out design, but time machines? That's ridiculous.
Vicki: Doctor? He says the Tardis isn't a time machine.
Doctor: Oh, does he now?
Vicki: Tell him.
Doctor: I don't see why I should, my child. He'll learn soon enough.
Steven: Look, Doctor, I've seen some spaceships in my time, admittedly nothing like this. Well, what does this do?
Doctor: That is the dematerialising control and that, over yonder, is the horizontal hold. Up there is the scanner, those are the doors, that is a chair with a panda on it. Sheer poetry, dear boy. Now please stop bothering me.
Steven: You gave this ship a name just now, what was it?
Vicki: TARDIS. T-A-R-D-I-S. It's stands for Time And Relative Dimensions In Space.
Steven: IDBI.
Vicki: What? IDBI?
Steven: I-D-B-I.
Vicki: Yeah.
Steven: Means I Don't Believe It.
