Now I'm watching Mawdryn Undead

A very bonkers story imho . The Brig returns! A new companion! Some nutter . Is it too busy? Personally I enjoy its helter-skelterness cough.
Great 'flashback' as well ...

Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes

The Sun Makers – Part 1

Cordo: Then there's the medical tax on Q-capsules, and work tax on extra hours, so I could never clear the debt. You see, the Company charges fifty percent compound interest on unpaid taxes. I'm only a grade D work unit, three talmars a shift. Three talmars. That's not enough.
Leela: What is he saying, Doctor? I do not understand.
The Doctor: He can't make ends meet. Probably too many economists in the government.
Leela: These taxes, they are like sacrifices to tribal gods?
The Doctor: Well, roughly speaking, but paying tax is more painful.
Leela: Then the people should rise up and slaughter their oppressors!
The Doctor: Well, if little Cordo's at all typical, they haven't any spirit left for fighting.
(A wailing noise fills the air.)
Cordo: It's the Gatherer! Quick, run!
(Cordo runs, Leela follows.)
Leela: Run, Doctor! It's the Gatherer!

The Sun Makers – Part 2

Hade: Ah, Citizen Doc-Tor. Welcome. Come in, sit down.
The Doctor: Thank you.
Hade: No, no, no. Please, please. (The Doctor takes Hade's tall backed chair.) Citizen Doc-Tor. An unusual name.
The Doctor: Yes, especially for an Ajack.
Hade: Indeed. There are so many Wurgs and Keeks in Megropolis Three I sometimes wonder how my distinguished colleague, Gatherer Pile, manages to keep track of you all.
The Doctor: Indeed. But how very clever of you to know my name.
Hade: Well, it's here, on your ConSumCard.
The Doctor: Ah.
Hade: The cause of your unfortunate experience, of which I trust there are no ill effects?
The Doctor: Oh, not at all, not at all. Your guards were entirely charming, and so attentive.
Hade: I am gratified. I brought you here, Citizen Doc-Tor, first of all to give you the thousand talmars you requested. (Marn hands over a pouch of money.) And also to apologise for any inconvenience. To err is computer.
The Doctor: To forgive is fine?

The Sun Makers – Part 3

Leela: K9.
K9: Mistress?
Leela: Hide. We must keep still. Make them think we will not fight.
Bisham: You have a gun, Leela. Why don't you kill us?
Leela: What?
Bisham: I'd rather die here than let them take us.
(The vehicle stops a few metres away and a guard gets out.)
Guard 2: Drop your arms.
(Leela walks to the side and puts the weapon down.)
Leela: Get them, K9.
(K9 shoots the first guard, and the second gets out of the vehicle cautiously. K9 moves forward and shoots him, too.)
K9: Satisfactory, mistress?
Leela: Get their guns.
K9: Satisfactory, mistress?
Leela: Yes, K9. What do you want, a biscuit? We will take this machine and crash through their barrier. Put K9 on the back.
(Around the corner, the guards at the barricade are curious.)
Guard 3: The shooting's stopped. Our lads must have got them. Not our lucky day.
Leela: Ready? Forward. (She puts her foot on the pedal and it goes backwards.) What's wrong with it? I said forward!
Bisham: Perhaps I'd better take over, Leela.
Leela: All right. I will have the gun.

The Sun Makers – Part 4

The Doctor: No, don't kill him. He hasn't done you any harm.
Leela: Then I shall kill him before he does.

Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes

Underworld – Part 1

The Doctor: You all right, K9?
K9: Affirmative.
Leela: What happened?
The Doctor: Trouble.
Leela: I know that.
The Doctor: Blast the door, K9.
K9: Blaster malfunction. Blaster malfunction. Blaster malfunction. Blaster malfunction.
(Leela uses an arm-held shield-like device she had been cleaning to blast the doors open.)
Leela: What is this thing?
The Doctor: It's a Liebermann laser. Fires charged particles along a laser beam. Don't ever play with strange weapons, Leela.
Leela: No, Doctor.
The Doctor: And switch the safety catch off.
Leela: Yes, Doctor.

Underworld – Part 2

Leela: Surrender or die!
The Doctor: No, no! Don't, don't, don't. Get off him, Leela. You're terrifying the poor fellow.
Leela: Oh

Underworld – Part 3

Idas: Are you, are you really from the stars?
Leela: Yes.
Idas: The stars really exist, then?
Leela: Of course they do.
Idas: And that is not the sky?
Leela: That is the roof.
Idas: Roof?
Leela: Yes.
Idas: Will you take me with you when you return to the stars?

Underworld – Part 4

Leela: They have given up without a fight.
The Doctor: Yes, it certainly seems like it.
Leela: Why?
The Doctor: I don't know.

New press release

"When Jodie Whittaker returns to Doctor Who next series, the Thirteenth Doctor and her friends won’t be the only familiar faces. The show, currently filming, is set to welcome back The Judoon as one of the Doctor’s fearsome adversaries.

More than twelve years after they stampeded onto screens to terrorise the Tenth Doctor and Martha Jones on the moon in 2007’s “Smith and Jones”, the rhino-headed, brutish intergalactic police are returning to cause havoc and thrill children and adults alike.

These ruthless enforcers are on a deadly mission: but what for? And why has it brought them to present-day Gloucester?

The episode will also star acclaimed actor Neil Stuke. Neil has an established career on stage, television and films, and is a two times BAFTA nominee. Neil’s recent credits include Doctor Foster, Silk and Silent Witness.

Chris Chibnall, Showrunner said “No! Sho! Blo! The Judoon are storming back into Doctor Who in full force, and the streets of Gloucester aren’t safe. If anyone has anything to hide, confess now. The Judoon are taking no prisoners, and will stop at nothing to fulfil their mission!

“The whole team on Doctor Who are delighted and scared in equal measure to welcome them back: one of many treats we’ve got in store for viewers next series.

“And we’re over the moon (with Judoon), to be welcoming the wondrous Neil Stuke as guest star. We can’t wait to show you what happens when his path crosses with the Thirteenth Doctor.”

The eleventh series of Doctor Who was the biggest series of the show in over a decade with an average audience of 8.6m viewers in the 28 days following broadcast, across all available devices."

Glad to see the Judoon return. Far better than any monster/villain/ whatever from the last series.
