Doctor Who fans think they may have finally found Matt Smith’s secret Star Wars character | Radio Times

"Obviously, you can’t see much of this character behind his masked helmet and slightly scaled skin, but Whovians and other Matt Smith fans claim that the actor’s trademark brow and stare are unmistakable. Plus, the character’s name being kept secret (with only the very Doctor Who regeneration-friendly caption A New Face) only adds to their theories that this is Smith in action."

Saw Castrovalva the other day. I used to like this story, and then I kind of went off it and haven't even watched it properly in a decade. But... mark this up as another one I really enjoyed upon another revisit. Oh it has its flaws - dodgy pacing as always with Mr Bidmead - but it's still far more engaging than Traken or Logoboris. This is also the first time I've watched a story from the season 19 blu ray set I got for Xmas in full... and I have to admit I may have been wrong. The PQ is an improvement after all.

I have decided to start getting the Blu ray sets after all.

Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes

Asylum Of The Daleks

Amy: Where are we? A spaceship, right?
The Doctor: Not just any spaceship. The Parliament of the Daleks. Be brave.
Amy: What do we do?
The Doctor: Make them remember you. Well, come on then. You've got me. What are you waiting for? At long last, it's Christmas! Here I am.
(The Doctor closes his eyes tight, expecting to die. The organic Dalek speaks.)
Dalek PM: Save us. You will save us.
The Doctor: I'll what?
Dalek: You will save the Daleks.
Daleks: Save the Daleks. Save the Daleks. Save the Daleks. Save the Daleks. Save the Daleks. Save the Daleks. Save the Daleks.
The Doctor: Well.
Daleks: Save the Daleks.
The Doctor: This is new.

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

Dalek PM: What do you know of the Dalek Asylum?
The Doctor: According to legend, you have a dumping ground. A planet where you lock up all the Daleks that go wrong. The battle-scarred, the insane, the ones even you can't control. It's never made any sense to me.
Dalek PM: Why not?
The Doctor: Because you'd just kill them.
Dalek PM: It is offensive to us to extinguish such divine hatred.
The Doctor: Offensive?
Dalek PM: Does it surprise you to know the Daleks have a concept of beauty?
The Doctor: I thought you'd run out of ways to make me sick. Hello again. You think hatred is beautiful.
Dalek PM: Perhaps that is why we have never been able to kill you.
(A hole opens in the middle of the floor. The Doctor and Darla walk back to it. A planet is visible.)
Darla: The Asylum. It occupies the entire planet, right to the core.
The Doctor: How many Daleks are in there?
Darla: A count has not been made. Millions, certainly.
The Doctor: All still alive?
Darla: It has to be assumed. The Asylum is fully automated. Supervision is not required.
Amy: Armed?
Darla: The Daleks are always armed.
Rory: What colour? I'm sorry, there weren't any good questions left.

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

Rory: Shush. (Other Daleks start to boot up, too, making sounds.) What? Sorry, what?
Dalek: Eg eg eg eg eg eg eg.
Rory: Eggs? You mean those things?
(The roundels on the Dalek's casing. Some have fallen off onto the floor.)
Dalek: Egg.
Rory: I don't, I don't know what you want. Those things. Are those things eggs? This? You want this.
Dalek: Egg. Stir. Min. Ate. (Rory drops the ball.) Exterminate.
Daleks: Exterminate.
(One weapon blast just misses him. Rory tries to run the gauntlet.)
Dalek: Emergency. Emergency. Exterminate. Exterminate.
Oswin [OC]: Run! The door at the end, run for it. They're waking up, but they're slow. The door at the end. Just run. Now! Now! Now!
Daleks: Exterminate. Exterminate.

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

The Doctor: Identify me. Access your files. Who am I? Come on. Who's your daddy?
Dalek: You are the Predator.
The Doctor: Access your standing orders concerning the Predator.
Dalek: The Predator must be destroyed.
The Doctor: And how are you going to do that, Dalek? Without a gun you're a tricycle with a roof. How are you going to destroy me?
Dalek: Self-destruct initiated.
Amy: What's it doing?
The Doctor: It's going to blow itself up, and I with it. Only weapon it's got left.

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

The Doctor: Oswin, I think I'm close.
Oswin: You are. Less than twenty feet away. Which is the good news.
The Doctor: Okay. And the bad which I suddenly feel is coming?
Oswin: You're about to pass through Intensive Care.
(The Daleks here are in cages.)
The Doctor: What's so special about this lot, then?
Oswin [OC]: Don't know. Survivors of particular wars. Spiridon, Kembel, Eridius, Vulcan, Exxilon. Ringing any bells?
The Doctor: All of them.
Oswin [OC]: Yeah? How?
The Doctor: These are the Daleks who survived me.

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

Oswin: Run, you clever boy. And remember.

Jenna Coleman made a surprise early appearance in Asylum of the Daleks (2012) as Oswin, a splinter of her as yet unseen character (Don't ask it's a very long story) Clara Oswald.

Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes

Dinosaurs On A Spaceship

Brian: Are you saying dinosaurs are flying a spaceship?
The Doctor: Brian, please, that would be ridiculous. They're probably just passengers

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

Brian: What's the escape plan?
The Doctor: Why do we want to escape?
Brian: They have us hostage.
Rory: They're taking us somewhere. We might learn from it.
(The Doctor tweaks Rory's cheek.)
The Doctor: Oh, you see? He's so clever. I've missed you, Rory.
Rory: Don't do that.

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

The Doctor: Go, Tricy. Run like the wind!
(It doesn't move, even when laser bolts whiz past.)
Robot 1 [OC]: After them.
The Doctor: Quick, how do you start a Triceratops?
Robot 1: There they are.
Robot 2: I know, I saw them before you.
Brian: Tricy, fetch.
(Brian bounces his other golf ball off its nose, and the creature lumbers away.)
The Doctor: Go, Tricy.
Robot 1: They've stolen a dinosaur.
Robot 2: I can see that.
The Doctor: Come on, Tricy, faster, baby!
Robot 1: They're turning off. We're losing them.
Robot 2: Which way did they go?
Robot 1: I thought you were looking.
Robot 2: No. Now they've got away.
Robot 1: We definitely used to be faster.
Brian: I'm riding a dinosaur on a spaceship.
The Doctor: I know!

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

The Doctor: Hello! Having trouble leaving?
(The Doctor shorts out the robots with spare power cables.)
Robots: Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do.

Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes

A Town Called Mercy

The Doctor: Mercy. Eighty one residents.
Amy: Look at this. It's a load of stones and lumps of wood. What is it?
The Doctor: A load of stones and lumps of wood.
(The Gunslinger is watching from a distance.)
Rory: The sign does say Keep Out.
The Doctor: I see Keep Out signs as suggestions more than actual orders, like Dry Clean only. (They step over the load of stones and lumps of wood that circle the town and head down the street, towards the Grand Central Bank. The residents watch silently. An electric street lamp outside the Post Office sparks.) That's not right.
Rory: It's a street lamp.
The Doctor: An electric street lamp about ten years too early.
Rory: It's only a few years out.
The Doctor: That's what you said when you left your phone charger in Henry the Eighth's en-suite.
Amy: Doctor, er
The Doctor: Anachronistic electricity, Keep Out signs, aggressive stares. Has someone been peeking at my Christmas list?

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

(The piano playing and the conversations stop dead when our trio walk in. The Doctor goes to the bar.)
The Doctor: Tea. But the strong stuff. Leave the bag in.

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

Amy: What does he want? Has he issued some kind of demand?
Isaac: Says he wants us to give him the alien doctor.
Amy: But that's you. Why would he want to kill you? Unless he's met you.

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

The Doctor: Can I borrow your horse, please? It's official Marshal business.
Preacher: He's called Joshua. It's from the Bible. It means the Deliverer.
The Doctor: No, he isn't. I speak horse. He's called Susan, and he wants you to respect his life choices.
(The Doctor gallops out of town.)

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

Computer: Thank you for choosing Abarakas Security software. Incinerating intruders for three centuries.

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

(Amy gets another gun and fires in the air.)
Amy: Let him come back, Doctor.
The Doctor: Or what? You won't shoot me, Amy.
Amy: How do you know? Maybe I've changed. I mean, you've clearly been taking stupid lessons since I saw you last. (Her gun fires again.) I didn't mean to do that.
(Isaac fires to get everyone's attention.)
Isaac: Everyone who isn't an American, drop your gun.
