If i had it i'd definitely sell it for that price.

a) I wonder if that is the fixed copy, or the one with the audio glitches

b) I bet the staff at CEX were overjoyed when someone turned up with this, five minutes after they had opened, expecting to get £208 in cash!

Shame it wasn't 'The Web(sters) Of Fear' or 'The Doomsday Machine' (which featured Helen Worth)

Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes

The Doctor's Wife

The Doctor: There are no Time Lords left anywhere in the universe. But the universe isn't where we're going. See that snake? (The Ourobouros, the snake swallowing its own tail.) The mark of the Corsair. Fantastic bloke. He had that snake as a tattoo in every regeneration. Didn't feel like himself unless he had the tattoo. Or herself, a couple of times. Ooo, she was a bad girl.

****************************

The Doctor: I don't understand. Who are you?
Idris: Do you not know me? Just because they put me in here?
The Doctor: They said you were dangerous.
Idris: Not the cage, stupid. In here. They put me in here. I'm the. Oh, what do you call me? We travel. I go (Tardis sound)
The Doctor: The Tardis?
Idris: Time And Relative Dimension In Space. Yes, that's it. Names are funny. It's me. I'm the Tardis.
The Doctor: No, you're not. You're a bitey, mad lady. The Tardis is up and downy stuff in a big blue box.
Idris: Yes, that's me. A Type Forty Tardis. I was already a museum piece when you were young, and the first time you touched my console you said
The Doctor: I said you were the most beautiful thing I had ever known.
Idris: And then you stole me. And I stole you.
The Doctor: I borrowed you.
Idris: Borrowing implies the intention to return the thing that was taken. What makes you think I would ever give you back?
The Doctor: You're the Tardis?
Idris: Yes.
The Doctor: My Tardis?
Idris: My Doctor.

***********************************

Idris: Bond the tube directly into the Tachyon Diverter.
The Doctor: Yes, yes, I have actually rebuilt a Tardis before, you know. I know what I'm doing.
Idris: You're like a nine year old trying to rebuild a motorbike in his bedroom. And you never read the instructions.
The Doctor: I always read the instructions.
Idris: There's a sign on my front door. You have been walking past it for seven hundred years. What does it say?
The Doctor: That's not instructions.
Idris: There's an instruction at the bottom. What does it say?
The Doctor: Pull to open.
Idris: Yes. And what do you do?
The Doctor: I push.
Idris: Every single time. Seven hundred years. Police Box doors open out the way.
The Doctor: I think I have earned the right to open my front doors any way I want.
Idris: Your front doors? Have you any idea how childish that sounds?
The Doctor: You are not my mother.
Idris: And you are not my child.
The Doctor: You know, since we're talking with mouths, not really an opportunity that comes along very often, I just want to say, you know, you have never been very reliable.
Idris: And you have?
The Doctor: You didn't always take me where I wanted to go.
Idris: No, but I always took you where you needed to go.

*****************************

Idris: Not good. Not good at all. How do you walk around in these things?
The Doctor: We're not quite there yet. Just hold on. Amy, this is, well, she's my Tardis. Except she's a woman. She's a woman, and she's my Tardis.
Amy: She's the Tardis?
The Doctor: And she's a woman. She's a woman and she's the Tardis.
Amy: Did you wish really hard?
The Doctor: Shut up. Not like that.
Idris: Hello. I'm Sexy.
The Doctor: Oh. Still shut up.

***********************

The Doctor: The House deleted all the bedrooms. I should probably make you two a new bedroom. You'd like that, wouldn't you?
Amy: Okay. Er, Doctor, this time could we lose the bunk beds?
The Doctor: No. Bunk beds are cool. A bed with a ladder. You can't beat that

Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes

The Rebel Flesh

The Doctor: Waves disturbing the Earth's magnetic field. There is going to be the mother and father of all power surges. See this weathervane, the cock-a-doodle-do? It's a solar router feeding the whole factory with solar power. When that wave hits, ka-boom. I've to get to that cockerel before all hell breaks loose. I never thought I'd have to say that again. Amy, breathe.
Amy: Yeah! I mean, thanks. I'll try.

********************************

Jennifer: I thought I was going to die.
Rory: Welcome to my world.

*********************************

The Doctor: It would seem the storm has animated your Gangers.
Cleaves: They've ransacked everything.
The Doctor: Not ransacked, searched.
Cleaves: Through our stuff!
The Doctor: Their stuff.
Jimmy: Searching for what?
The Doctor: Confirmation. They need to know their memories are real.
Buzzer: Oh, so they've got flaming memories now.
The Doctor: They feel compelled to connect to their lives.
Cleaves: Their stolen lives.
The Doctor: No, bequeathed. You gave them this. You poured in your personalities, emotions, traits, memories, secrets, everything. You gave them your lives. Human lives are amazing. Are you surprised they walked off with them?

*******************************

Jimmy: This is insane. We're fighting ourselves.
The Doctor: Yes. Yes, it's insane, and it's about to get even more insanerer. Is that a word? Show yourself, right now!
Amy: Doctor, we are trapped in here and Rory's out there with them. Hello? We can't get to the Tardis and we can't even leave the island.
Ganger-Doctor: Correct in every respect, Pond. It's frightening, unexpected, frankly a total, utter splattering mess on the carpet, but I am certain, one hundred percent certain, that we can work this out. Trust me. I'm the Doctor.

...And I had it!

I've gone and bought the season 23 blu ray lol. I wasn't sure I was going to, but I managed to get it for just $40 off eBay, which is a pretty cheap price considering (it's not out here officially until December, and is about $80).

I'm just really curious for the 'new' Vervoids...

Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes

The Almost People

Ganger-Doctor: Argh. What's happening? I wonder if we'll get back. Yes, one day. Argh. I've reversed the polarity of the neutron flow.
The Doctor: The Flesh is struggling to cope with our past regenerations. Hold on.
The Doctor 4 [OC]: Would you like a jelly baby?
Ganger-Doctor: Why? Why? Why?
The Doctor: Why what?
Ganger-Doctor: Hello. I'm the Doctor. No, let it go, we've moved on.
The Doctor: Hold on, hold on, you can stabilise.
Ganger-Doctor: I've reversed the jelly baby of the neutron flow. Would you like a Doctor, Doctor, I'm, I'm the. I can't.
The Doctor: No, listen, hold on. Hold on.
Ganger-Doctor: No! Argh.

********************************

The Doctor: Formulate a protocol.
Ganger-Doctor: Protocol? Very posh.
The Doctor: A protocol between us. Otherwise
Ganger-Doctor: It gets horribly embarrassing.
The Doctor: And potentially confusing.
Amy: I'm glad you've solved the problem of confusing.
Ganger-Doctor: That's sarcasm.
The Doctor: She's very good at sarcasm.

**********************************

Jennifer: This room's always sealed. Power surge must have thrown the bolts.
Rory: What is that?
(A pile of uniforms with gunge and blank faces.)
Jennifer: Discarded Flesh. Faulty, probably. Just thrown away. Look at them. One of my old Gangers. (It opens its eyes.) Left to rot, fully conscious. Can you imagine what kind of hell they're in?
Rory: But Cleaves, the Company, how could they do this? How could they?
Jennifer: Who are the real monsters?

*********************************

Rory: Doctor! What is happening to her?
The Doctor: Contractions.
Rory: Contractions?
The Doctor: She's going into labour.
Amy: Did he say? No. No, no. Of course he didn't. Rory, I don't like this. Ow.
Rory: You're going to have to start explaining some of this to me, Doctor.
The Doctor: What, the birds and the bees? She's having a baby. I needed to see the Flesh in its early days. That's why I scanned it. That's why we were there in the first place. I was going to drop you off for fish and chips first, but things happened and there was stuff and shenanigans. Beautiful word, shenanigans.
Amy: It hurts.
Rory: But you're okay?
The Doctor: Breathe. I needed enough information to block the signal to the Flesh.
Amy: What signal?
The Doctor: The signal to you.
Amy: Doctor. Doctor.
The Doctor: Stand away from her, Rory.
Rory: Why? No. And why?
The Doctor: Given what we've learned, I'll be as humane as I can, but I need to do this and you need to stand away!
(Rory slowly steps back.)
Amy: No. No. Doctor, I am frightened. I'm properly, properly scared.
The Doctor: Don't be. Hold on. We're coming for you. I swear it. Whatever happens, however hard, however far, we will find you.
Amy: I'm right here.
The Doctor: No, you're not. You haven't been here for a long, long time.
(The Doctor aims his sonic screwdriver at her.)
Amy: Oh, no.
(Amy goes splosh. )
