Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes
Boom Town
Jack: Don't tell me. This must be Mickey.
The Doctor: Here comes trouble! How're you doing, Ricky boy?
Mickey: It's Mickey!
Rose: Don't listen to him, he's winding you up.
Mickey: You look fantastic.
(Rose and Mickey hug. The Doctor is up a ladder mending something.)
Jack: Aw, sweet, look at these two. How come I never get any of that?
The Doctor: Buy me a drink first.
Jack: You're such hard work.
The Doctor: But worth it.
Rose: Did you manage to find it?
Mickey: There you go.
(Mickey hands over Rose's passport.)
Rose: I can go anywhere now.
The Doctor: I told you, you don't need a passport.
Rose: It's all very well going to Platform One and Justicia and the Glass Pyramid of San Kaloon, but what if we end up in Brazil? I might need it. You see, I'm prepared for anything.
Mickey: Sounds like your staying, then. So, what're you doing in Cardiff? And who the hell's Jumping Jack Flash? I mean, I don't mind you hanging out with big-ears up there
The Doctor: Oi!
Mickey: Look in the mirror. But this guy, I don't know, he's kind of
Jack: Handsome?
Mickey: More like cheesy.
Jack: Early twenty first Century slang. Is cheesy good or bad?
Mickey: It's bad.
Jack: But bad means good, isn't that right?
The Doctor: Are you saying I'm not handsome?
Rose: We just stopped off. We need to refuel. The thing is, Cardiff's got this rift running through the middle of the city. It's invisible, but it's like an earthquake fault between different dimensions.
The Doctor: The rift was healed back in 1869.
Rose: Thanks to a girl named Gwyneth, because these creatures called the Gelth, they were using the rift as a gateway but she saved the world and closed it.
Jack: But closing a rift always leaves a scar, and that scar generates energy, harmless to the human race
The Doctor: But perfect for the Tardis, so just park it here for a couple of days right on top of the scar and
Jack: Open up the engines, soak up the radiation.
Rose: Like filling her up with petrol and off we go!
Jack: Into time!
The Doctor + Rose + Jack: And space!

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

The Doctor: How'd you think of the name?
Margaret: What, Blaidd Drwg? It's Welsh.
The Doctor: I know, but how did you think of it?
Margaret: I chose it at random, that's all. I don't know. It just sounded good. Does it matter?
The Doctor: Blaidd Drwg.
Rose: What's it mean?
The Doctor: Bad Wolf.
Rose: But I've heard that before. Bad Wolf. I've heard that lots of times.
The Doctor: Everywhere we go. Two words following us. Bad Wolf.
Rose: How can they be following us?
The Doctor: Nah, just a coincidence. Like hearing a word on the radio then hearing it all day. Never mind. Things to do. Margaret, we're going to take you home.
Jack: Hold on, isn't that the easy option, like letting her go?
Rose: I don't believe it! We actually get to go to Raxa. Wait a minute! Raxacor
The Doctor: Raxacoricofallapatorius.
Rose: Raxacorico
The Doctor: fallapatorius.
Rose: Raxacoricofallapatorius. That's it! I did it!
Margaret: They have the death penalty. The family Slitheen was tried in its absence many years ago and found guilty with no chance of appeal. According to the statutes of government, the moment I return, I am to be executed. What do you make of that, Doctor? Take me home and you take me to my death.
The Doctor: Not my problem.

Watching The Green Death

Another ending. That flying beastie cough. Welsh people on TV. I always enjoyed the novel.
When the working class start turning up dead, UNIT send The Doctor to the land of leeks to stir the pot. What he finds is a faceless corporation (BOO HISS etc) bent on the old domination lark. Mix in some hippie scum, and you have a classic piece of marxist propaganda, er, childrens entertainment COUGH.

Finished off The Masque of Mandragora last night.

A beautiful slice of Who Gothic that you'd never know wasn't filmed in Italy thanks to it's delightful Portmeirion location work.

The story i suppose isn't anything special but it's one i love thanks to it's Poe influences and it's Occult sub plot. As for the masks at the Masque and in the Occult rites? Well they are terrific. I was terrified as a kid and they still stand up today i feel as creations as good as any from pretty much any horror production both then and now.

Indeed. Coincidence central as I also watched this last night

Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes
Bad Wolf
[Big Brother House]
(100 years later than The Long Game. Transcriber's note - never seen the BB show, never want to, and I am proud of that!)
The Doctor: What is it? What's happening?
(The Doctor falls out of a small spinning cupboard.)
Lynda: Oh, my God! I don't believe it! Why'd they put you in there? They never said you were coming.
The Doctor: What happened? I was.
Lynda: Careful now. Oh! Oh, mind yourself! Oh, that's the transmat. It scrambles your head. I was sick for days. All right? So, what's your name then, sweetheart?
(The Doctor is very unsteady.)
The Doctor: The Doctor, I think. I was, er. I don't know, what happened? How
Lynda: You got chosen.
The Doctor: Chosen for what?
Lynda: You're a housemate. You're in the house. Isn't that brilliant?!
(Over by a pink screen with a stylised eye on it, a young man in a t-shirt is not amused.)
Strood: That's not fair. We've got eviction in five minutes! I've been here for all nine weeks, I've followed the rules, I haven't had a single warning, and then he comes swanning in.
(The dark-skinned young lady in the pink shirt joins in.)
Crosbie: If they keep changing the rules, I'm going to protest, I am. You watch me, I'm going to paint the walls.
Davina [OC]: Would the Doctor please come to the Diary Room? (The Doctor goes through a door with the stylised eye on it and sits in a comfy chair.)
Davina [OC]: You are live on channel forty four thousand. Please do not swear.
The Doctor: You have got to be kidding.
[The Weakest Link]
(Rose wakes up on a studio floor. A dark-skinned man is bending over her.)
Rose: What happened?
Rodrick: It's all right. It's the transmat. Does your head in. Get a bit of amnesia. What's your name?
Rose: Rose. But where's the Doctor?
Rodrick: Just remember do what the android says. Don't provoke it. The android's word is law.
Rose: What do you mean, android? Like a robot?
(A woman calls out instructions.)
Floor Manager [OC]: Positions, everyone! Thank you!
Rodrick: Come on, hurry up. Steady, steady.
(Rodrick helps Rose up. She is wobbly on her feet, too.)
Rose: I was travelling, with the Doctor and a man called Captain Jack. The Doctor wouldn't just leave me.
Floor Manager [OC]: That's enough chat. Positions! Final call! Good luck!
Rose: But I'm not supposed to be here.
Rodrick: It says Rose on the podium. Come on.
(Rose takes her place next to Rodrick.)
Rose: Hold on, I must be going mad. It can't be. This looks like the
Floor Manager: Android activated!
Rose: Oh, my God, the android. The Anne droid.
Anne Droid: Welcome to The Weakest Link!
[What Not To Wear]
Trine-E: Here we go again. We've got our work cut out for us.
Zu-Zana: I don't know. He's sort of handsome. Has a good lantern jaw.
Trine-E: Lantern jaws are so last year.
(Another pair of droids - one tall and thin, one short and curvy - have Jack lying on an examination couch. There is a rack of clothes nearby.)
Jack: Sorry, but, nice to meet you, ladies, but where exactly am I?
Trine-E: We're giving you a brand new image.
Jack: Oh, hold on, I was with the Doctor. Why, is there something wrong with what I'm wearing?
Zu-Zana: It's all very twentieth century. Where did you get that denim?
Jack: A little place in Cardiff. It was called the Top Shop.
Zu-Zana: Ah! Design classic.
Trine-E: But we're going to have to find you some new colours. Maybe get rid of that Oklahoma Farm Boy thing you've got going on.
Zu-Zana: Just stand still and let the Defabricator work its magic.
Jack: What's a defabricator? (It's a beam that disintegrates all, yes all, your clothes.) Okay. Defabricator. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Am I naked in front of millions of viewers?
(Thank goodness for the strategically placed Defabricator.)
Trine-E + Zu-Zana: Absolutely!
Jack: Ladies, your viewing figures just went up.

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

Woman: Are you saying this entire set up's been a disguise all along?
The Doctor: Going way back. Installing the Jagrafess a hundred years ago. Someone's been playing a long game, controlling the human race from behind the scenes for generations.
Jack: Click on this. The transmat delivers to that point, right on the edge of the solar system.
Woman: There's nothing there.
The Doctor: It looks like nothing because that's what this satellite does. Underneath the transmission there's another signal.
Pavale: Doing what?
The Doctor: Hiding whatever's out there. Hiding it from sonar, radar, scanner. There's something sitting right on top of planet Earth, but it's completely invisible. If I cancel the signal
(A large flying saucer appears on a holo-viewscreen. Then we zoom out to reveal a lot, lot more of them.)
Jack: That's impossible. I know those ships. They were destroyed.
The Doctor: Obviously, they survived.
Lynda: Who did? Who are they?
The Doctor: Two hundred ships. More than two thousand on board each one. That's just about half a million of them.
Pavale: Half a million what?
The Doctor: Daleks.
[Spaceship]
Dalek 2: Alert. Alert. We are detected.
Dalek: It is the Doctor. He has located us. Open communications channel.
Dalek 2: The female will stand. Stand!
(A holo-viewscreen pops into view with Floor 500 on it.)
[Floor 500]
Dalek [on viewscreen]: I will talk to the Doctor.
The Doctor: Oh, will you? That's nice. Hello!
Dalek [on viewscreen]: The Dalek stratagem nears completion. The fleet is almost ready. You will not intervene.
The Doctor: Oh, really? Why's that, then?
[Spaceship]
Dalek: We have your associate. You will obey or she will be exterminated.
[Floor 500]
The Doctor: No.
(Everyone looks at the Doctor.)
Dalek [on viewscreen]: Explain yourself.
The Doctor: I said no.
Dalek [on viewscreen]: What is the meaning of this negative?
The Doctor: It means no.
[Spaceship]
Dalek: But she will be destroyed.
The Doctor [on viewscreen]: No! Because this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to rescue her. I'm going to save Rose Tyler from the middle of the Dalek fleet. And then I'm going to save the Earth, and then, just to finish off, I'm going to wipe every last stinking Dalek out of the sky!
[Spaceship]
Dalek: But you have no weapons, no defences, no plan.
[Floor 500]
The Doctor: Yeah. And doesn't that scare you to death. Rose?
[Spaceship]
Rose: Yes, Doctor?
The Doctor [on viewscreen]: I'm coming to get you.
(Transmission ends, courtesy of the sonic screwdriver.)
Dalek: The Doctor is initiating hostile action.
Dalek 2: The stratagem must advance. Begin the invasion of Earth!
Dalek 3: The Doctor will be exterminated!
Daleks: Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!
