Doctor Who [3]

What on earth! (or off it!) Where by the Key of Time did you get that Norc? (although I'm not sure I want to know)

I'm not sure either.

This made for COmic Relief back when Doctor Who was off the air and not forgotten.
It was written by a young up and coming writer by the name of Mr Moffat who was despereate to get Who back on tv any way he could.

has anyone else thought aboyt the symbolic that the doctor is, well, the doctor, and rory is(was) the nurse?

Dunno about symbolism Norc but the last job Amy had that we know of was as a reporter- which was the same job that Sarah Jane Smith had, and the male companion during part of Sarah's run was Harry Sullivan who was a medical officer.
Coincidence or a nod from the Moff?

The other side of the Doctor's nature (its bit rough and its got the most over used bit of music on the net but the clips are good uns!)

I absolutely love this- Doctor Who and Star Trek together at last- scores about a zillion on the Geek Orgasmatron!

http://blip.tv/Kelvington/doctor-who-trek-through-time-parts-1-3-joined-3034140

A scene shot for the Tennant episode Family of Blood 3 years before Amy and Rory- in the episode Martha listens to the start of this and then forward winds to the end (skipping thepears and Housemartins bit)- but here it is without the forward wind bit- and the Doctor mentions Rory!! Real life timey-wimey!

In the absence of any Who to watch till xmas time heres my guide to the Doctor from 1st incarnation to present. Some of it will be subjective like recommended episodes or favourite lines.





Famous as- the Doctor who stole the Hand of Omega and then the Tardis before fleeing his own people. The first Doctor to meet the Daleks. Stumbling over lines!

Personality- the 1st Doctor was quite grumpy, sharp, didnt suffer fools gladly and was not above either acts of violence or kidnap in his early days. He was also fearlessly protective of his granddaughter Susuan who fled Gallifrey with him. Over time his personality mellowed substantially and his childlike excitment and his immense curiosty to see the universe came to the fore. Humans brought out the best in him and this lead to all subsequent regenerations enjoying, and indeed needing, the company of humans, especially as a counter balance to his darker personality traits.

Major Villians: The Daleks. The Monk (a Renegade Time-Lord)

Catch phrases- none really, although he did tend to make a series of excitable almost childlike noises when things got him interested and he uses 'Dear boy" quite often when talking to Ian.

Favourite lines- "As we learn about each other, so we learn about ourselves."
"If you could touch the alien sand and hear the cries of strange birds, and watch them wheel in another sky, would that satisfy you?"
"Eh? Doctor who? What's he talking about...?"
"We're always in trouble! Isn't this extraordinary - it follows us everywhere!"
"Now let's get out of here, and be crafty!"
"We're trying to defeat the Daleks, not start a jumble sale!"
"That is the dematerializing 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."

Episodes to watch- The Unearthly Child, The Daleks, Edge of Destruction, The Dalek Invasion of Earth, The Time Meddler.



Famous as- First Doctor to encounter the Cybermen. The first Doctor to "Run!" The first Doctor to encounter UNIT and meet the Brigadier. First Doctor to make a sonic screwdriver, for actually unscrewing things.

Personality- the cosmic hobo. In his 2nd incarnation the Doctor often played the fool to disarm, distract or trick his enemies into underestimating him. Played the penny whistle and was the Doctor who started keeping a diary in an attempt to keep track of his personal timeline.

Major Villians: Cybermen. Yeti. Daleks. The War Lord (Renegade Time-Lord-possibly the Master before his first regeneration)

Catch Phrases- Oh my giddy aunt.

Favourite lines- "Not allowed? Not allowed! Me, I'm allowed everywhere."
"There are some corners of the universe which have bred the most terrible things. Things which act against everything we believe in. They must be fought."
"Oh, I used my own special technique. Keeping my eyes open and my mouth shut."
"Our lives are different to anybody else's. That's the exciting thing, that nobody in the universe can do what we're doing."
"They're human beings, if that's what you mean. Indulging their favorite pastime of trying to destroy each other."
"Logic, my dear Zoe, merely enables one to be wrong with authority."
"Well...it is a fact, Jamie, that I do tend to get involved."
"You can't kill me..I'm a genius."

Episodes to watch - (sadly most episodes are missing from this era, those Ive listed here are all complete) The Seeds of Death. The Tomb of the Cybermen. War Games.

Famous as- the gadget Doctor. Being stranded on Earth by the Time Lords. Joining UNIT. The first Doctor to use the name 'John Smith'. Also the first to encounter the Silurians and the Autons and Nestene Conciousness.

Personality- the most sauve and debonair of Doctors with a twinkle in his eye and an eye for extravagant clothing. He is also the most serious and scientific of the Doctors, less prone to joking around or being childish. Easily the most action orientated Doctor. Also the only time the Doctor was not shy about picking up a weapon and using it.

Major Villians- Autons, The Master, Daleks, Sea Devils, Omega.

Catch phrases- reverse the polarity of the neutron flow

Favourite lines- "My dear Miss Shaw, I never report myself anywhere, particularly not forthwith."
"Well, I'll tell you something that should be of vital interest to you. That you, Sir, are a NITWIT!"
"You know Jo, I sometimes think that military intelligence is a contradiction in terms."
"Allow me to congratulate you, sir. You have the most totally closed mind that I've ever encountered."
"Courage isn't just a matter of not being frightened, you know. It's being afraid and doing what you have to do anyway."
"A straight line may be the shortest distance between two points, but it is by no means the most interesting."

Episodes to watch- Spearhead from Space. Doctor Who and the Silurians. Inferno. Terror of the Autons. The Daemons.




Famous as- the Doctor who started the Last Great Time War.

Personality- eccentric, very alien. At times very childlike with a strong sense of humour.

Major Villians- Sontarans. Daleks. Cybermen. Zygons. Mobius (insane Time-Lord). The Black Guardian. The Master.

Catch phrases- "would you like a jelly baby?"

Favourite lines (theres a lot of these as he was one of the longest serving Doctors running for 7 years)- "You may be a doctor. But I'm the Doctor. The definite article, you might say."
"There's no point being grown-up if you can't be childish sometimes."
"Never cared much for the word 'impregnable.' Sounds a bit too much like 'unsinkable.'"
"The trouble with computers, of course, is that they're very sophisticated idiots."
"Homo sapiens. What an inventive, invincible species. It's only a few million years since they crawled up out of the mud and learned to walk. Puny, defenceless bipeds. They've survived flood, famine and plague. They've survived cosmic wars and holocausts. And now, here they are, out among the stars, waiting to begin a new life. Ready to outsit eternity. They're indomitable. Indomitable."
"Excuse me, can you help me? I'm a spy."
The Doctor: What no tea?
Kaled Guard: Let me point out to you that you have no rights whatsoever. I have full authority to torture and kill any prisoner who does not comply absolutely with my orders. That is your first and last warning.
The Doctor: No tea, Harry.
"Do I have the right? Simply touch one wire against the other, and that's it. The Daleks cease to exist. Hundreds of millions of people, thousands of generations can live without fear, in peace... and never
even know the word "Dalek". But if I kill... wipe out a whole intelligent life-form... then I become like them. I'd be no better than the Daleks."
"You can't rule the world in hiding. You've got to come out on the balcony sometimes and wave a tentacle."
"I'm not a human being; I walk in eternity.."
The Doctor: Well, you see, Mr Scarman, I have the advantage of being slightly ahead of you. Sometimes behind you, but normally ahead of you.
Laurence Scarman: I see.
The Doctor: I'm sure you don't but it's very nice of you to try.
"But I'm only seven hundred and forty-nine. Life doesn't begin until seven hundred and fifty."
"I'm not as old as I used to be!"
"He's brilliant, absolutely brilliant--he's almost up to my standards."
"Killing me isn't going to help you. It isn't going to do me much good either..."
"The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the facts. They alter the facts to fit their views. Which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering."
"Answers are easy. It's asking the right questions which is hard."
"I never carry weapons. If people see you mean them no harm, they never hurt you. Nine times out of ten..."
"You're a classic example of the inverse ratio between the size of the mouth and the size of the brain."
"I see, you're one of those boring maniacs who's going to gloat. Are you going to tell me your plan for running the universe?"
"The localised condition of planetary atmospheric condensation caused a malfunction in the visual orientation circuits. Or to put it another way, we got lost in the fog."
"Sometimes my brilliance astonishes even me."
"If you call that being nearly killed, you haven't lived yet."
"Excuse me, are you sure this planet's meant to be here?"
"It's an economic miracle! Of course it's wrong."
"I say, what a wonderful butler, he's so violent."
"Would you mind not standing on my chest? My hat's on fire."
"Leonardo? You remember the Mona Lisa? That dreadful woman with no eyebrows who wouldn't sit still?"
"If there's one thing I can't stand, it's being tortured by someone with cold hands."
" I suppose the best way to find out where you come from is to find out where you're going, and then work backwards."
" Stupid expression, 'stands to reason.' Why isn't it 'lie down to reason?' Much easier to reason lying down."
" Interfere? Of course we should interfere. Always do what you're best at, that's what I say."
" Have you noticed how people's intellectual curiosity begins to decline the moment they start waving guns about?"
"First things first, but not necessarily in that order."

Episodes to watch - The Sontaran Experiment, Genesis of the Daleks, Pyramids of Mars, The Robots of Death, The Talons of Weng-Chiang, Horro of Fang Rock, City of Death.

Tom Baker is the first Doctor I really remember, before that its all a blur, my brain cells not being timey wimey enough to remember.

That is why I included recomended episodes to watch Mrs Figg. Dailymotion is good site for classic Who episodes-if you do a google video search of the pisode names you shouldnt have any problems finding the episodes listed.

Famous for- wearing a Leek on his lapel. Having several companions at once on board and treating them like a family. Being the last Doctor of the original run to use the sonic screwdriver- which was destroyed.

Personality- he was more like an older brother to his companions. He had a love of cricket and was an excellent bowler (as was the 4th and 10th Doctors) but was the only one to really take the game to heart and his preferred clothing was a traditional cricket outfit. He was not a good decision maker, or at least he was a reluctant one and often made a decision on the flip of a coin.
He was the most pacifist version of the Doctor so far and was so opposed to violence that the realisation he was himself the cause of so much in his life of interfering eventually led him to sacrifice himself to save his companion, after his other companion Adric had died sacrifing himself needlessly for the Doctor.

Major villians: The Master. The Black Guardian. Cybermen. Daleks. Davros. Omega. Silurians. Sea Devils.

Catch phrase: none.

Favourite lines: "There's always something to look at if you open your eyes!"
"It's times like this I wish I still had my scarf."
"You know how it is; you put things off for a day and next thing you know, it's a hundred years later."
"You may disguise your features but you can never disguise your intent."
"Well, I'm still not the man I used to be. Thank Goodness."
"I sometimes wonder why I like the people of this miserable planet so much."
"Oh, marvellous. You're going to kill me. What a finely tuned response to the situation."
Peri: Doctor, why do you wear a stick of celery in your lapel?
The Doctor: Does it offend you?
Peri: No, just curious.
The Doctor: Safety precaution. I'm allergic to certain gases in the praxis range of the spectrum.
Peri: Well, how does the celery help?
The Doctor: If the gas is present, the celery turns purple.
Peri: And then what do you do?
The Doctor: I eat the celery. If nothing else, I'm sure it's good for my teeth.

Episodes to watch: Castrovalva. Kinda. Earthshock. Mawdryn Undead, Terminus, Enlightenment (Black Guardian Trilogy). The Caves of Androzani.









Famous for: wearing ridiculously bright and garish clothing. Having a regenration go wrong and subsequently attacking his companion Peri. For fixing the Tardis Chameleon Circuit. Loved cats and had a cat pin he wore on his lapel.

Personality: Unstable after a rough regeneration he turned out to be an egotist, believeing he was the finest incarnation yet. He was prone to mood swings and manic behaviour and a sharp cutting wit. He tended to tolerate people rather than relate to them, even his companion Peri. He also had a very dark side and was violent at times although mainly in self defence. However he could also show immense empathy at times for anyone who was suffering.

Major villians- Cybermen. The Rani. Daleks. Davros. Sontarans. The Master.

Favourite lines-
The Doctor: Ahhh... a noble brow. Clear gaze. At least it will be given a few hours sleep. A firm mouth. A face beaming with a vast intelligence. My dear child what on Earth are you complaining about? It's the most extraordinary improvement.
Peri: Improvement?! On what?!
The Doctor: My last incarnation... oh, I was never happy with that one. It had a sort of feckless "charm" which simply wasn't me.
"A little gratitude wouldn't irretrievably damage my ego."
"It's all right for you, Peri. You've only got one life. You'll age here in the TARDIS and then die. But me, I shall go on regenerating until all
my lives are spent."
"What's the use of a good quotation if you can't change it?"
"Well, you certainly look better for your change of clothes and bath! You should try it more often."
"This is a situation that requires tact and finesse. Fortunately, I am blessed with both."
(Addressing the Gallifrian High Council) "In all my travelling throughout the universe, I have battled against evil, against power-mad conspirators. I should have stayed here. The oldest civilisation: decadent, degenerate, and rotten to the core. Power-mad conspirators, Daleks, Sontarans, Cybermen - they're still in the nursery compared to us. Ten million years of absolute power. That's what it takes to be really corrupt."

Episodes to Watch- Attack of the Cybermen. The Mark of the Rani. The Two Doctors. All of season 23 as it is one 14 part story- The Trial of a Time Lord.

Famous for- being the first Doctor to sound Scottish. An accent he could therefore later do perfectly in his 10th incarnation. Played the spoons.

Personality- After another rough rengeneration thanks to the Rani he was confused and suffered amnesia. However over time he revealed a darker more manipulative side. He destroyed Skaro home of the Daleks in an elaborate trap and used the Hand of Omega to destroy the systems main sun. And he manipulated his companion Ace in order to help her confront her past. He could be clownish and like a favoiurite uncle one minute and scheming and calculating the next, or at the same time. He was ruthless when he acted but did not always think out the consequences of his actions. He was secretive and did not confide his plans or motives in anyone, even his companion Ace, who he manipulated on more than one occasion, even using her as part of a wider strategy to defeat his opponents. Like the fifth Doctor he deplored violence and despite being in many ways the darkest incarnation of the Doctor he never used violence to finish his opponents- instead he manipulates them, even on one occasion taunting what he believes to be the last dalek in existence into commiting suicide.

Major Villians- Fenric. Daleks. Davros. The Master.

Favourite lines-
"You don't understand regeneration, Mel. It's a lottery, and I've drawn the short plank."
"The more I know me, the less I like me."
"Are these antiques dotted about all over the building? It really is a splendid piece of audioarchitectonicalmetrasynchosity!"
"A stitch in time... takes up space."
The Doctor: Not interrupting anything, am I?
Belazs: [points her gun at him] What are you doing here?!
The Doctor: That's a very difficult question. Why is everyone around here so preoccupied with metaphysics?
Glitz: I think she's going to kill us, Doctor.
The Doctor: Ah! An existentialist.
"Yes, that's right, you're going. You've been gone for ages. You're already gone. You're still here. You've just arrived. I haven't even met you yet. It all depends on who you are and how you look at it. Strange business, time."
"Think about me when you're living your life one day after another, all in a neat pattern. Think about the homeless traveller and his old police box, with his days like crazy paving."
"You can always judge a man by the quality of his enemies."
"Your species has the most amazing capacity for self-deception, matched only by its ingenuity when trying to destroy itself."
"Every great decision creates ripples. Like a huge boulder dropping in a lake. The ripples merge and rebound off the banks in unforseeable ways. The heavier the decision, the larger the waves, the more uncertain the consequences."
(Explaining the name of the Hand of Omega) "It's called that because Time Lords have an infinite capacity for pretension."
Davros: We shall become all-
The Doctor: Powerful! Crush the lesser races! Conquer the galaxy! UNIMAGINABLE POWER! UNLIMITED RICE PUDDING! Et cetera! Et cetera!
"Among all the varied wonders of the universe, there's nothing so firmly clamped shut as the military mind."
"Don't worry, Brigadier. People will be shooting at you soon."
"That, Brigadier, was the beginning of the end of the world."
[to a beetle] "All civilisation starts with hunting and foraging, but don't worry, you'll soon work your way up."
" I can't stand burnt toast. I loath bus stations. Terrible places. Full of lost luggage and lost souls."
"He doesn't have to outrun the lion, only his friend. Then the lion catches up with his friend and eats him. The strong survive, the weak are killed: the law of the jungle! ... Yes, very clever, if you don't mind losing your friend. But what happens when the next lion turns up?"
"If we fight like animals, we die like animals!"
"There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, and the sea's asleep, and the rivers dream; people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, and somewhere else the tea's getting cold. Come on, Ace. We've got work to do."

Episodes to watch- Remembrance of the Daleks. The Greatest Show in the Galaxy. Ghost Light. The Curse of Fenric. Survival.






Famous for: Fighting in the Last Days of the Last Great Time War and destroying both the Daleks race (bar a few survivors) and all his own race and his homeplanet of Gallifrey. He did this to end the war and prevent the Time Lords plan of destroying all matter in order to save themselves by using the energy to ascend to another plane of existence and survive the war. He was the first Doctor to have a romantic releationship with a Companion.

Personality- Like his previous two incarnations he suffered a traumatic regenration and suffered ever after from bouts of amnesia.
All Time-Lords have some psychic abilities to do with Time but it is strongest in the eigth. He often prods people towards actions by dropping hints about future events in their timelines. He had a child like charm and enthusasim which hid a darker more resilient side.

Major Villians- The Master.

Favourite lines-
" I can't make your dream come true forever, but I can make it come true today."
"I love humans. Always seeing patterns in things that aren't there."
"The universe hangs by such a delicate thread of points, it's useless to meddle with it. Unless, like me, you're a Time Lord."
"250 million light years away. That's a good 10 minutes in this old thing."

Episodes to watch- There is only one Doctor Who the Television Movie (yup thats really its title) but I recommend the extensive audio plays.

I was never keen on the 5th and 6th Doctors, and the 8th Doctor is hot, he reminds me of Sirius Black, also hot.

A Doctor in Victorian dress with long hair and you find him hot- not much of a suprise there Mrs Figg! Youre just reminiscing again back to your youth.

The 5th Doctor grew on me although he still not among my top 4.
The 8th Doctor I like, given he only gets one tv epiosde McCann really fitted the part and got a lot into that one episode.
The Big Finnish audio stroies for the 8th added in however make him the Doctor with the most series and stories ever.
Like you I have never really taken to the 6th- he was too brash and unlikable for my tastes, although he has his moments, particuarly when confronting his own people.
The 7th, Mccoy's is the strsngest one for me to judge- he only did 2 series before it got pulled- if I were to judge it on the first series I would say he was the worst Doctor by a good way. Judged on the second series he is in my top 4. Of all the incarnations his Doctor changes the most from regeneration to end.

Famour for: Being the only survivor of the Time War and equally tramutised and guilt ridden by his experiences. For never looking back. For spending a lot of time in London.

Personality- less outwardly flamboyant than his previous selves. He had a dark moody side, he was prone to outbursts of anger and even to resort to violence, most notably upon discovering a Dalek survivor of the Time War. But he also grinned a lot when happy and could be exuberant when something went right or lives were saved.
He was a more gritty down to earth Doctor than most and indeed Earth is where he spent most of his incarnation.

Main Villians- Nestene Conciousness. Daleks. Slitheen.

Catch phrase: Fantastic.
Run for your life.


Favourite lines:
"Nice to meet you, Rose. Run for your life!"
"I can feel it. [takes Rose's hand] The turn of the Earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinnin' at 1,000 miles an hour and the entire planet is hurtling around the sun at 67,000 miles an hour, and I can feel it. We're fallin' through space, you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go... [lets go of Rose's hand] That's who I am."
"The assembled hordes of Genghis Khan couldn't get through that door, and believe me, they've tried."
"This is who I am, right here, right now, alright? All that counts is here and now, and this is me!"
"Everything has its time and everything dies."
"I'm a Time Lord. I'm the last of the Time Lords. They're all gone. I'm the only survivor. I'm left traveling on my own, 'cause there's no one else."

"Nine hundred years of time and space, and I've never been slapped by someone's mother."

"Ricky, if I was to tell you what I was doing to the controls of my frankly magnificent timeship, would you even begin to understand?"
" Excuse me, do you mind not farting while I'm saving the world?"
"Alright, then. If you want orders, follow this one. Kill yourself."
"The Daleks have failed! Now why don't you finish the job, and make the Daleks extinct?! Rid the universe of your filth! Why don't you just die?!"
"The thing is, Adam, time travel is like visiting Paris. You can't just read the guidebook, you've got to throw yourself in! Eat the food, use the wrong verbs, get charged double and end up kissing complete strangers! Or is that just me?"
"Your wish is my command. But be careful what you wish for."

Rose: What's the emergency?
The Doctor: It's mauve!
Rose: Mauve?
The Doctor: Universally recognized color for danger.
Rose: What happened to red?
The Doctor: Oh, that's just humans. By everyone else's standards, red's camp. Oh, those misunderstandings—all those Red Alerts, all that dancing.

"1941. Right now, not very far from here, the German war machine is rolling up the map of Europe. Country after country, falling like dominoes. Nothing can stop it, nothing. Until one tiny, damp little island says "No. No, not here." A mouse in front of a lion. You're amazing, the lot of you. I don't know what you did to Hitler, but you frighten the hell out of me."
"One day, just one day, maybe I'll meet somebody who gets the whole 'don't wander off' thing."
"And I'm looking for a blonde in a Union Jack. A specific one, mind, I didn't just wake up this morning with a craving."
"Perfectly safe! [TARDIS control panel explodes in sparks, burning the Doctor's hand] Okay, reasonably, should have said reasonably there!"
"Right, you lot, lots to do; beat the Germans, save the world, don't forget the welfare state!"
"And everybody lives, Rose! Everybody lives! I need more days like this! Go on, ask me anything; I'm on fire!"
"Could you hurry up and close the door? Your ship's about to blow up; there's gonna be a draft."

The Doctor: [regarding the origin of Captain Jack's blaster] Weapons factory at Villengard?
Captain Jack Harkness: You've been to the factories?
The Doctor: Once.
Captain Jack Harkness: Well, they're gone now, destroyed. Main reactor went critical, vaporized the lot.
The Doctor: Like I said, once.There's a banana grove there now. I like bananas. Bananas are good.

The Doctor: Funny little human brains; how do you get around in those things?
Rose: When he's stressed, he likes to insult species.
The Doctor: Rose, I'm thinking.
Rose: Cuts himself shaving and does half an hour on life forms he's cleverer than.

"Ricky, let me tell you something about the human race. You put a mysterious blue box slap-bang in the middle of town, what do they do? Walk past it. Now stop your nagging. Let's go and explore."

Dalek: But she will be destroyed!
The Doctor: No! 'Cause this is what I'm gonna do: I'm gonna rescue her! I'm gonna save Rose Tyler from the middle of the Dalek fleet! And then I'm gonna save the Earth! And then, just to finish off, I'm gonna wipe every last stinking Dalek out of the sky!
Dalek: But you have no weapons! No defenses! No plan!
The Doctor: Yeah! And doesn't that scare you to death? Rose?
Rose: Yes, Doctor?
The Doctor: I'm coming to get you.

The Doctor: That's the same staff who execute hundreds of people every day?
Female Programmer: That's not our fault! We're just doing our jobs!
The Doctor: And with that sentence, you just lost the right to even talk to me. Now, back off!

"Time Lords, we have this little trick. It's sort of a way of cheating death. Except... it means I'm going to change. And I'm not going to see you again... Not like this. Not with this daft old face. And before I go— before I go, I just want to tell you: you were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. And do you know what? So was I!"

Episodes to watch: Rose. The Unquiet Dead. Dalek. Father's Day. The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances.

(With Mrs Figg in mind- an especially long tribute vid)

He was my first

I think I would really like the 3rd doctor.

Famous for: Getting romantically involved with his companion Rose.

Personality: On the surface he seems witty, chatty and a little frivolous but beneath it is a colder, darker streak that is capable of vengenace and retribution. This incarnation does not give second chances. He often lacks a sense of mercy and more than previous versions relies on his companions to act as his moral compass. Like the 2nd Doctor he acts frivolous to trick people into underestimating him. He also suffers from a keen sense of lonliness as the last of his race. He is the first incarnation to think that Time Lords live to long and to begin to think of dying.
He was also prone to arrogance, occasionally bordering on messianic delusions. He readily embraced his increasingly legendary status in the Universe as the Oncoming Storm, the Bringer of Drakness, the Destroyer of Worlds and the Lonely God. He used his legandary status on more than one occasion to persuade enemies to retreat. And he finally came to think that as there was no longer any Time Lords to judge him that he could be the Master of Time itself and disregard its laws. When he attempts to break a fixed point he fails in the act and comes to accept that he has gone to far andlived too long.

Major Villians: Daleks. Davros. Cybermen. The Family of Blood. The Weeping Angels. The Master. Vashda Nerada. Sontarans.

Catchphrases:Allons-y!
What?!

Favourite lines:
"Think you've seen it all? Think again. Outside those doors, we might see anything. We could find new worlds, terrifying monsters, impossible things. And if you come with me... nothing will ever be the same again!"
"Aw, I wanted to be ginger! I've never been ginger! And you, Rose Tyler! Fat lot of good you were! You gave up on me! Ooh, that's rude. Is that the sort of man I am now? Am I rude? Rude and not ginger."
"Look at these people, these human beings. Consider their potential! From the day they arrive on the planet, blinking, step into the sun, there is more to see than can ever be seen, more to do than—no, hold on. Sorry, that's The Lion King. But the point still stands: leave them alone!"
"Trouble's just the bits-in-between! It's all waiting out there, Jackie. And it's brand new to me—all those planets and creatures and horizons! I haven't seen them yet, not with these eyes. And it is gonna be...fantastic!"
"That is enigmatic. That is textbook enigmatic."
" I don't age. I regenerate. But humans decay; you wither and you die. Imagine watching that happen to someone that you— You can spend the rest of your life with me, but I can't spend the rest of mine with you. I have to live on. Alone. That's the curse of the Time Lords."

The Doctor: Don't worry Reinette, it's just a nightmare. Everyone has nightmares; even big scary monsters from under the bed have nightmares, don't you, monster?
Reinette: What do monsters have nightmares about?
The Doctor: Me!

Rose: Oh, here's trouble. What you been up to?
The Doctor: Oh, this and that. Became the imaginary friend of a future French aristocrat, picked a fight with a clockwork man... [A horse whinnies off screen] Oh, and I met a horse.

" If you want to know what's going on, work in the kitchen."

Rose: Where we off to?
The Doctor: Ed Sullivan TV studios. Elvis did "Hound Dog" on one of the shows, there were loads of complaints. Bit of luck, we'll just catch it.

"Oh, come on! Did you have to? "No turning back", that's almost as bad as "Nothing could possibly go wrong"
"Please, when Torchwood comes to write my complete history, don't tell people I travelled through time and space with her mother!"
"There's one tiny little gap in the universe left, just about to close. And it takes a lot of power to send this projection—I'm in orbit around a supernova. I'm burning up a sun just to say goodbye."
" I'm talking to an alien? In hospital?! What, has this place got an E.T. department?"
"Crossing into established events is strictly forbidden. Except for cheap tricks."
"Oh, you should have seen it! That old planet... The second sun would rise in the south, and the mountains would shine. The leaves on the trees were silver, when they caught the light, every morning it looked like a forest on fire. When the autumn came, a brilliant glow though the branches..."
"Really shouldn't take that long just to reverse the polarity... Must be a bit out of practice!"
"There's no such thing as an ordinary human."
"I'm old enough to know that a longer life isn't always a better one. In the end, you just get tired; tired of the struggle, tired of losing everyone that matters to you, tired of watching everything you love turn to dust. If you live long enough, Lazarus, the only certainty left is that you'll end up alone."
"But it has gotta be said, I don't like the look of that hydrokinometer. It seems to be indicating you've got energy feeding back all the way through the retro-stabilisers feeding back into the primary heat converter.'Cause if there's one thing you shouldn't have done...you shouldn't have let me press all those buttons. But, in fairness, I will give you one word of advice: Run!"
"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause-and-effect... but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly... timey-wimey... stuff."
"Tracked you down with this. This is my timey-wimey detector. It goes "ding!" when there's stuff. Also, it can boil an egg at 30 paces, whether you want it to or not, actually, so I've learned to stay away from hens."
"And it was, it was beautiful. They used to call it the Shining World of the Seven Systems. And on the continent of Wild Endeavour, in the mountains of Solace and Solitude, there stood the Citadel of the Time Lords. The oldest and most mighty race in the universe. Looking down on the galaxies below, sworn never to interfere, only to watch. Children of Gallifrey were taken from their families at the age of eight, to enter the Academy. Some say that's where it all began, when he was a child. That's when the Master saw eternity. As a novice, he was taken for initiation. He stood in front of the Untempered Schism. It's a gap in the fabric of reality through which could be seen the whole of the vortex. We stand there, eight years old, staring at the raw power of Time and Space, just a child. Some would be inspired. Some would run away. And some would go mad."
"I'm the Doctor. I'm a Time Lord. I'm from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous. I'm 903 years old, and I'm the man who's gonna save your lives and all six billion people on the planet below. You got a problem with that?"
" It's been a long time since anyone's said no to you, isn't it?"

Donna Noble: You are completely impossible!
The Doctor: Not impossible...just a bit unlikely.


"You need to get yourself a better dictionary. When you do, look up "genocide". You'll find a little picture of me there, and the caption'll read "Over my dead body".


The Doctor: Oh, you're not, are you...? Tell me you're not archaeologists.
River Song: Got a problem with archaeologists?
The Doctor: I'm a time traveller. I point and laugh at archaeologists.

"Don't play games with me. You just killed someone I liked and that is not a safe place to stand! I'm the Doctor and you're in the biggest Library in the universe. Look me up."

River Song: If you die here, it'll mean I've never met you!
The Doctor: Time can be rewritten!
River Song: Not those times. Not one line! Don't you dare! It's OK. It's OK, it's not over for you. You'll see me again. You've got all of that to come. You and me, time and space. You watch us run!
The Doctor: River, you know my name. You whispered my name in my ear! There's only one reason I would ever tell anyone my name. There's only one time I could...
River Song: Hush, now — spoilers!

"Ah, I'll be fine. Taking a big space truck with a bunch of strangers across a diamond planet called Midnight... What could possibly go wrong?"

"But there are laws. There are laws of time. Once upon a time there were people in charge of those laws, but they died. They all died. Do you know who that leaves? Me! It's taken me all these years to realise the laws of time are mine! And they will obey me!"

Adelaide: You can't know that! And if my family changes, the whole of history could change! The future of the human race! No one should have that much power!
The Doctor: Tough.
Adelaide: You should have left us there.
The Doctor: Adelaide, I've done this sort of thing before. In small ways, save some little people, but never anyone as important as you-oh, I'm good!
Adelaide: "Little people!?" What, like Mia and Yuri? Who decides they're so unimportant!? YOU!?
The Doctor: For a long time now, I thought I was just a survivor, but I'm not. I'm the winner! That's who I am: the Time Lord Victorious!
Adelaide: And there's no one to stop you...
The Doctor: No!
Adelaide: This is wrong, Doctor! I don't care who you are: the Time Lord Victorious is wrong!
The Doctor: That's for me to decide.

"You weren't there, in the final days of the War. You never saw what was born. But if the Time Lock's broken, then everything's coming through! Not just the Daleks, but the Skaro Degradations, the Horde of Travesties, the Nightmare Child, the Could-Have-Been-King with his army of Meanwhiles and Never-weres; the War turned into Hell! And that's what you've opened right above the Earth! Hell is descending!"

"And that's how the Master started. It's not that I'm an innocent. I've taken lives. I got worse, I got clever. Manipulated people into taking their own. Sometimes, I think a Time Lord lives too long."
"I can still die. If I'm killed before regeneration, then I'm dead. Even then, even if I change, it feels like dying. Everything I am dies. Some new man goes sauntering away...and I'm dead."

Wilf: Oh, really, just leave me. I'm an old man, Doctor, I've had my time.
The Doctor: Well, exactly, look at you. Not remotely important. But me... I could do so much more! So much more! But this is what I get, my reward. And it's not fair! Oh...lived too long.


Episodes to watch: School Reunion. The Girl in the Fireplace. The Runaway Bride. Human Nature/Family of Blood. The Fires of Pompeii. Silence in the library/Forest of the Dead. Midnight. Turn Left. The Waters of Mars.

Famous for: Rebooting the universe. Marrying twice: once by accident to Marilyn Monroe and secondly to River Song. Dying and vanishing from history.

Personality: Eccentric and alien like the 4th incarnation but with a sense of age and compassion, as well as a weariniess reminiscant of the 1st and 2nd incarnations. Capable of rapid shifts of mood from childlike to darkly angry. He begins quite arrogant, and like his former incarnations he uses his reputation to frighten off foes. This comes to a head when he realises that everything which has befallen his companions has been his fault and stem from his arrogance and his revelling in his reputation. This somehwat humbles the Doctor and turns his thoughts back again to the idea he has lived for too long and is doing more harm than good. He eventually uses an opportunity to stage his own death and then removes all traces of himself from history in order to once more become the unknown man in a box seeing the universe out of curiousty.
He is capable of a great deal of emotion, and is probably the most emotional of all incarnations. He shows great affection for his companions and there is a sense of a family between them that is unique to this Doctor.
However he can also be cold and ruthless. He has a temper and a well of anger that occasionally surfaces, particularly when those close to him are threatened. He also lies and manipulates, he often has a plan and is thinking several moves ahead, much like the 7th incarnation.

Major Villians: Prisoner Zero. Daleks. Weeping Angels. Silurians. The Silence. Madame Kovaria.

Catchphrases: Geronimo!
Bowties are cool.
Trust me, I'm the Doctor.

Favourite lines:

"Legs! I've still got legs! Good. Arms, hands. Ooh, fingers. Lots of fingers. Ears? Yes. Eyes: two. Nose... eh, I've had worse. Chin - blimey! Hair... I'm a girl! No! No! I'm not a girl! And still not ginger!"
"All of time and space; everywhere and anywhere; every star that ever was. Where do you want to start?"
"New mouth, new rules."
"Its not my fault. Why can't you give me any decent food? You're Scottish. Fry something!!
" Carrots?! Are you insane?!"

Amelia: I'm not scared!
The Doctor: Of course you're not! You're not scared of anything! Box falls out of the sky, man falls out of the box, man eats fish custard, and look at you! Just sitting there! So you know what I think?
Amelia: [shrugging] What?
The Doctor: Must be a hell of a scary crack in your wall.

"I'm the Doctor; I'm worse than everybody's aunt! And that is not how I'm introducing myself."

The Doctor: Now, that's rubbish; who's that supposed to be?
Rory: Well, that's you!
The Doctor: Me?! Is that what I look like?
Rory: You don't know?
The Doctor: Busy day.

"But you're not the first lot to have come here. Oh, there have been so many. And what you've got to ask is...what happened to them? Hello. I'm the Doctor. Basically...run."
"Fourteen years since fish custard. Amy Pond, the girl who waited. You've waited long enough"

Amy Pond: I thought...well, I started to think you were just a mad man with a box.
The Doctor: Amy Pond, there's something you better understand about me 'cause it's important and one day your life may depend on it...I am definitely a mad man with a box.

"Children cry because they want attention, because they're hurt, or afraid. When they cry silently it's because they just can't stop."
"Nobody talk to me! Nobody human has anything to say to me today!"

Amy: Have you ever run away from something because you were scared, or not ready, or just... just because you could?
The Doctor: Once. A long time ago.
Amy: What happened?
The Doctor: [gestures to himself] Hello!

"It's a Jammie Dodger, but I was promised tea!"
"Didn't anyone ever tell you? There's one thing you never put in a trap, if you're smart. If you value your continued existence, if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow, there's one thing you never, ever put in a trap. Me."

Amy Pond: What if the gravity fails?
The Doctor: I've thought about that.
Amy Pond: And?
The Doctor: We'll all plunge to our deaths. See? I've thought about it! Ah, the security protocols are still live. There's no way to override them; it's impossible!
River Song: How impossible?
The Doctor: Two minutes.

Father Octavian: Dr. Song, I've lost good Clerics today. Do you trust this man?
River Song: I absolutely trust him.
Father Octavian: He's not some kind of madman?
River Song:I absolutely trust him.

"Rory! That's a relief! I thought I had burst out of the wrong cake. Again. That reminds me, there's a girl standing outside in a bikini. Can someone let her in, give her a jumper? Lucy. Lovely girl.Diabetic."
" I like the bit when someone says "It's bigger on the inside!" I always look forward to that."

"Never use force, you just embarrass yourself. Unless you're cross, in which case... always use force!"

Amy: Shall I run and get the manual?
The Doctor: I threw it in a supernova.
Amy: You threw the manual in a supernova? Why?
The Doctor: Because I disagreed with it!

"Excuse me, I'm making perfect sense. You're just not keeping up."

Alaya: I'm the last of my species.
The Doctor: No. You're really not. Because I'm the last of my species and I know how it sits in a heart. So don't insult me.

Vincent: But you’re not armed!
The Doctor: I am!
Vincent: What with?
The Doctor: Overconfidence and a small screwdriver.

Craig: Where did you learn to cook?
The Doctor: Paris in the 18th century. No, hang on, that's not recent is it? 17th? No no, 20th. Sorry, I'm not used to doing it in the right order.
Craig: Has anyone ever told you that you're a bit weird?
The Doctor: They never really stop.

"Now the question of the hour is, "Who's got the Pandorica?" Answer: I do. Next question: Who's coming to take it from me? Come on! Look at me! No plan, no back-up, no weapons worth a damn! Oh, and something else I don't have: Anything to lose! So, if you're sitting up there in your silly, little spaceship with all your silly, little guns, and you've got any plans on taking the Pandorica tonight, just remember who's standing in your way! Remember every black day I ever stopped you and then, and then, do the smart thing: Let somebody else try first."
"The universe is big, it's vast and complicated, and ridiculous. And sometimes, very rarely, impossible things just happen and we call them miracles. And that's the theory. Nine hundred years, never seen one yet, but this would do me."
"Silly me; silly old Doctor. When you wake up, you'll have a mum and dad, and you won't even remember me. Well, you'll remember me a little... I'll be a story in your head. But that's OK. We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh? Cause it was, you know. It was the best. A daft old man who stole a magic box and ran away. Did I ever tell you that I stole it? Well, I borrowed it. I was always going to take it back. Oh, that box... Amy, you'll dream about that box. It'll never leave you, big and little at the same time, brand new and ancient and the bluest blue ever. And the times we had, eh? Would've had... Never had. In your dreams, they'll still be there. The Doctor and Amy Pond, and the days that never came..."
"Hello, everyone! I'm Amy's imaginary friend! But I came anyway."
"Ah, yes, blimey, sorry. Christmas eve on a rooftop, I saw a chimney... my whole brain just went... “What the hell?”
"Nobody important? Blimey, that's amazing. You know that in nine hundred years of time and space and I've never met anybody who wasn't important before."
"I'm being extremely clever up here and there's no one to stand around looking impressed! What's the point in having you all?"
"Safe? No! Of course you're not safe! There's about a billion other things out there just waiting to burn your whole world, but if you want to pretend you're safe just so you can sleep at night, then, OK, you're safe. But you're not really."
"And the gun's back. You're big on the gun thing, aren't you? Freud would say you're compensating. Ever met Freud? No. Comfy sofa."

The Doctor: Uh, 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?

"I've got to get to that cockerel before all hell breaks loose! I never thought I'd have to say that again."
"Good men don't need rules. Today is not the day to find out why I have so many."

Vastra: When did this baby ... begin?
The Doctor: Oh, you mean...?
Vastra: Quite.
The Doctor: Well how would I know? That's all human-y, private stuff. It just sort of goes on. They don't put up a balloon or anything!
Vastra: Could the child have begun in the TARDIS, in flight, in the Vortex?
The Doctor: No! No! Impossible! It's all running about, sexy fish vampires, and blowing up stuff. Rory wasn't even there at the beginning. Then he was dead, then he didn't exist, then he was plastic, then I had to reboot the whole universe, long story. So, technically, the first time they were on the TARDIS together in this version of reality was on their w...
Vastra: On their what?
The Doctor: On their wedding night.


The Doctor: Where the hell have you been? Every time you asked, I have been there! Where the hell were you today?
River: I couldn't have prevented this.
The Doctor You could've tried! You think I wanted this? I didn't do this! This... this wasn't me!
River Song: This was exactly you. All this, all of it. You make them so afraid. When you began, all those years ago, sailing off to see the universe, did you ever think you'd become this? The man who can turn an army around at the mention of his name? Doctor: the word for healer and wise man throughout the universe. We get that word from you, you know. But if you carry on the way you are, what might that word come to mean? To the people of the Gamma Forests, the word "doctor" means "mighty warrior". How far you've come. And now they've taken a child. The child of your best friends. And they're going to turn her into a weapon, just to bring you down. And all this, my love... in fear of you.

"Pantophobia. Not fear of pants, though, if that's what you're thinking. It's the fear of everything. Including pants, I suppose, in that case."
"Through crimson stars and silent stars and tumbling nebulas like oceans set on fire, through empires of glass and civilizations of pure thought, and a whole, terrible, wonderful universe of impossibilities. You see these eyes? They're old eyes... and one thing I can tell you, Alex, monsters are real."
"Come on, Rory, this is hardly rocket science, this is quantum physics!"
"OK, this is bad. At the moment I don't know how bad, but certainly we're three buses, a long walk, and eight quid in a taxi from good."
"I can't save you from this. There's nothing I can do to stop this. I stole your childhood and now I've lead you by the hand to your death. But the worst thing is, I knew. I knew this would happen. This is what always happens. Forget your faith in me. I took you with me because I was vain. Because I wanted to be adored. Look at you. Glorious Pond. The girl who waited for me. I'm not a hero. I really am just a mad man in a box. And it's time we saw each other as we really are. Amy Williams, it's time to stop waiting."
"And what's the alternative? Me standing over your grave? Over your broken body? Over Rory's body?"
"Imagine you were dying. Imagine you were afraid and a long way from home and in terrible pain. Just when you thought it couldn't get worse, you looked up and saw the face of the Devil himself. Hello, Dalek."
"Usually called "The Doctor." Or "The Caretaker." Or "Get off this planet." Though, strictly speaking, that probably isn't a name."
"Because every time you see them happy, you remember how sad they're going to be... and it breaks your heart. Because what's the point in them being happy now if they're going to be sad later? The answer is, of course, because they are going to be sad later."
"Just do what I do: hold tight and pretend it's a plan."

Dalek Prime Minister: 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, but hello again. You think hatred is beautiful?
Dalek Prime Minister: Perhaps that is why we have never been able to kill you.

Oswin: Is there a word for total screaming genius that sounds modest and a tiny bit sexy?
The Doctor: Doctor. You call me the Doctor.
Oswin: I see what you did there.

Oswin: You’re about to pass through intensive care.
[The Doctor enters a room full of caged Daleks]
The Doctor: What's so special about this lot, then?
Oswin: Dunno. Survivors of particular wars. Spiridon. Kembel. Aridius. Vulcan. Exxilon. Ringing any bells?
The Doctor: All of them.
Oswin: Yeah? How?
The Doctor: These are the Daleks who survived me.

"Look, Solomon. The missiles. See them shine? See how valuable they are? And they're all yours. Enjoy your bounty."
"Today, I honour victims first; his, The Master's, the Daleks', all the people who died because of my mercy!"
"I'm not running away. But this is one corner of one country on one continent on one planet that's a corner of a galaxy that's a corner of a universe that is forever growing and shrinking and creating and destroying and never remaining the same for a single millisecond, and there is so much, so much, to see, Amy. Because it goes so fast. I'm not running away from things, I am running to them. Before they flare and fade forever. And it's alright. Our lives won't run the same. They can't. One day, soon, maybe, you'll stop. I've known for a while."
"I'm like Gandalf. Like a space Gandalf. Or the little green one in Star Wars."
