about the show itself
No, look, there’s a blue box. It’s bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. It can go anywhere in time and space and sometimes even where it’s meant to go. And when it turns up, there’s a bloke in it called The Doctor and there will be stuff wrong and he will do his best to sort it out and he will probably succeed cos he’s awesome. Now sit down, shut up, and watch 'Blink'.
|
He is impulsive, idealistic, ready to risk his life for a worthy cause. He hates tyranny and oppression and anything that is anti-life. He never gives in and he never gives up, however overwhelming the odds against him. |
Craig Ferguson: Tonight's show is about a man... who's not really a man. He's a Doctor, but he's not really a doctor, like Dr. Phil, but AWESOME! Most people in the United States of America have not heard of him. He's just like me in that regard! |

Star Trek has a reputation for attracting a certain class of obsessive, socially stunted fan. But when the latest Trek fan film isn't geeky enough to fully satisfy the escapist yen of your Linux-loving, Zaurus-toting, polyester-wearing ass, there is only one fully pedigreed alternative suitable for your viewing needs -- the one and only Doctor Who. —The Rotten Library, Doctor Who
|
Watching Doctor Who Is Like Having A Relationship With God.
|
For every inexplicable time pretzel or hmm-hummer it presents, though, it’s one of the most distinct shows I watch: it’s mercurial protagonist, who can flip between Implacable Intimidator and Goofy Ultrapacifist in a harrowing instant is one of the more intriguing things about it. It’s a romp, for lack of a better term. It’s a joke that you’re in on, and if you don’t watch it enough to pass through the membrane and get to that inside portion, you’ll probably feel like the show is teasing you most of the time. You’ll see those “special effects” and probably be insulted by them, when for the regular audience they are, in their amalgamation, a kind of “wink.” You can see the strings and stagey bits, and if you agree to believe it, you’re off to the races. It’s a show you must meet half-way, which I do, and I’ve been repaid for it many times over.
|
Listen girl to what I say |
"Star Wars is adolescent nonsense; Close Encounters is obscurantist drivel; Star Trek can turn your brains to puree of bat guano; and the greatest science fiction series of all time is Doctor Who! And I'll take you all on, one-by-one or all in a bunch to back it up!"
—Harlan Ellison, recalling an address to science-fiction fans, in his Introduction to a series of Doctor Who novelizations published in the US in the late 70s.

The First Doctor
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?
—First Doctor, An Unearthly Child

—First Doctor, The Dalek Invasion of Earth
|
Our lives are important - at least to us - and as we see, so we learn... Our destiny is in the stars, so let's go and search for it.
—First Doctor, The Reign of Terror
|
The Second Doctor
There are some corners of the universe which have bred the most terrible things. Things that act against everything we believe in. They must be fought.
—Second Doctor, The Moonbase
|
Our lives are different from anybody else's. That's the exciting thing. Nobody in the universe can do what we're doing!
—Second Doctor, Tomb of the Cybermen

"Makes it seem so pointless, really, doesn't it?" —Jo and the Third Doctor, The Time Monster
|
Courage isn't just a matter of not being afraid. It's being afraid and doing what you have to do anyway.
—Third Doctor, Planet of the Daleks
|
You know, for a man who abhors violence, I took great satisfaction in doing that.
—Third Doctor on taking out a Dalek, Planet of the Daleks

So... the fledgling flies the coop.

A straight line may be the shortest distance between two points, but it is by no means the most interesting.

Good grief, it's a triceratops! Look Brigadier, try and keep it occupied while I'm finishing this off, will you?

The Fourth Doctor
You may be a doctor, but I'm the Doctor. The definite article, you might say.
—Fourth Doctor, Robot
|
It may be irrational of me, but human beings are quite my favorite species.
—Fourth Doctor, The Ark in Space
|
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, defenseless bipeds. They've survived flood, famine and plague. They've survived cosmic wars and holocausts and now here they are, out amongst the stars, waiting to begin a new life. Ready to out-sit eternity. They're indomitable....indomitable.
—Fourth Doctor, musing on humanity, The Ark in Space
|
Fourth Doctor: Davros, if you had created a virus in your laboratory, something contagious and infectious that killed on contact, a virus that would destroy all other forms of life; would you allow its use? —Genesis of the Daleks
|
You can't rule the world in hiding. You've got to come out on the balcony sometimes and wave a tentacle.
—Fourth Doctor, Terror of the Zygons
|
I'm not a human being; I walk in eternity...
—Fourth Doctor, Pyramids of Mars
|
Deactivating a generator loop without the correct key is like repairing a watch with a hammer and chisel. One false move and you'll never know the time again.
—Fourth Doctor, Pyramids of Mars

Sarah Jane: So, providing we don't burn up on re-entry and aren't suffocated on the way down, we'll probably be smashed to a pulp when we land. —The Android Invasion

Fourth Doctor: You humans have got such limited, little minds. I don't know why I like you so much. —The Masque of Mandragora
|
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.
—Fourth Doctor, The Face of Evil
|
That's the empty rhetoric of a defeated dictator, and I don't like your face either.

[Asks a group of women the quickest way out of town. They all point in different directions] That's democracy for you.

For some people, small, beautiful events is what life is all about!
—Fifth Doctor, Earthshock

Sorry, must dash!
—Fifth Doctor, The Five Doctors
|
There should have been another way.
—The Fifth Doctor on the absurdly high body count in his stories, Warriors of the Deep
|
Oh, marvelous. You're going to kill me. What a finely-tuned response to the situation.
—Fifth Doctor, Frontios
|
I tried keeping a diary once. Not chronological, of course. But the trouble with time travel is, one never seems to find the time.
—Fifth Doctor, The Caves of Androzani
|
Peri: Doctor, why do you wear a stick of celery in your lapel? —Fifth Doctor, The Caves of Androzani
|
Fifth Doctor: (feverish) Not a very persuasive argument actually Stolz because I'm going to die soon anyway. Unless of course- —Fifth Doctor, The Caves of Androzani
|
The Sixth Doctor
Well, look at me. I'm old, lacking in vigour, my mind's in turmoil. I no longer know if I'm coming, have gone, or even been. I'm falling to pieces. I no longer even have any clothes sense... Self-pity is all I have left.
—Sixth Doctor, The Twin Dilemma
|
Rest is for the weary, sleep is for the dead. I feel like a hungry man eager for the feast!
—Sixth Doctor, Attack of the Cybermen
|
Davros: This part of the galaxy is developing quickly. Famine *was* one of its major problems. —Revelation of the Daleks
|
Planets come and go. Stars perish. Matter disperses, coalesces, forms into other patterns, other worlds. Nothing can be eternal.
—Sixth Doctor, The Trial of a Time Lord: The Mysterious Planet
|
This is a situation that requires tact and finesse. Fortunately, I am blessed with both.
—Sixth Doctor, The Trial of a Time Lord: Terror of the Vervoids
|
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!
—Sixth Doctor, The Trial of a Time Lord: The Ultimate Foe
|
The Seventh Doctor
Think about me when you're living your life one day after another, all in a neat pattern. Think about the homeless traveller in his old police box, his days like crazy paving.
—Seventh Doctor, Dragonfire

Davros: We shall become all- —Remembrance of the Daleks

Oi! Dalek! Over here. It's me, the Doctor. What's the matter with you? Don't you recognise your mortal enemy?
—Seventh Doctor, Remembrance of the Daleks

Group Captain Gilmore: "What am I dealing with? Little green men?" —Remembrance of the Daleks

I can hear the sound of empires toppling.
—Seventh Doctor, The Happiness Patrol

[cheerily] Hello! I'm the Doctor! I believe you want to kill me?
—Seventh Doctor, Silver Nemesis
|
Let me guess: my heresies appall you, my theories outrage you, I never answer letters, and you don't like my tie.
—Seventh Doctor, Ghost Light
|
Ace: Don't you have things you hate? —Seventh Doctor, Ghost Light
|
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, somewhere else the tea's getting cold. Come on, Ace. We've got work to do.

I am the man that gives monsters nightmares. The Daleks call me the Bringer of Darkness. I am the Eighth Man Bound. I am the Champion of Life and Time. I'm the guy with two hearts. I make History better. I am the Doctor.

|
The Ninth Doctor
Do you wanna come with me? 'Cause if you do, then I should warn you, you're gonna see all sorts of things. Ghosts from the past. Aliens from the future. The day the Earth died in a ball of flame. It won't be quiet, it won't be safe and it won't be calm. But I'll tell you what it will be: the trip of a lifetime.
—Ninth Doctor, 2005 trailers
|
Run.
—The Ninth Doctor's first word
|
Rose Tyler: Is it always this dangerous? —"Rose"
|
I can feel it. The turn of the Earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinning 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 falling through space, you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go... That's who I am.
—Ninth Doctor, "Rose"
|
The assembled hordes of Genghis Khan couldn't get through those doors. And believe me, they've tried.
—Ninth Doctor on the sturdiness of the TARDIS, "Rose"
|
Ninth Doctor (on the Gelth): Did it say anything? Can it speak? I'm the Doctor, by the way. —"The Unquiet Dead"
|
Dalek: I am waiting for orders. —"Dalek"
|
Ninth Doctor: Dom't you see it's all gone? Everything you were, everything you stood for. —"Dalek"
|
The thing is, Adam, time travel is like visiting Paris. You can't just read the guidebook, you've gotta throw yourself in. Eat the food, use the wrong verbs, get charged double and end up kissing complete strangers - or is that just me?
—Ninth Doctor, "The Long Game"
|
Who said you're not important? I've travelled to all sorts of places, done things you couldn't even imagine. But you two? Street corner, two in the morning, getting a taxi home. I've never had a life like that.
—The Ninth Doctor to a married couple, "Father's Day"

Ninth Doctor: Sonic blaster, 51st Century... weapon factories at Villengard? —"The Doctor Dances"

Ninth Doctor: History says there was an explosion, who am I to argue with history? —"The Doctor Dances"
|
Dalek: Alert! Alert! We are detected! —"Bad Wolf"
|
You know what they call me in the ancient legends of the Dalek homeworld? The Oncoming Storm. You might have removed all your emotions, but I reckon right down deep in your DNA there's one little spark left. And that's fear. Doesn't it just burn when you face me?
—Ninth Doctor, "The Parting of The Ways"
|
Ninth Doctor: Rose Tyler, I was going to take you to so many places. Barcelona! Not the city Barcelona, the planet Barcelona. You'd love it, fantastic place. They've got dogs with no noses! (laughs) Imagine how many times a day you end up telling that joke and it's still funny! —The regeneration of the Ninth Doctor begins, "The Parting of the Ways"

The Tenth Doctor
Allons-y!
—Tenth Doctor; numerous times
|
By the ancient rites of combat, I forbid you to scavenge here for the rest of time. And when you go back to the stars and tell others of this planet, when you tell them of its riches, its people, its potential, when you talk of the Earth, then make sure that you tell them this...it is defended!

And that's it, I'm afraid. There's no more from you on the transcript, that's the last I've got. I don't know what stopped you talking but I can guess. They're coming. The Angels are coming for you, but listen: your life could depend on this. Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast, faster than you could believe. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck.

Less of a young professional - more of an ancient amateur...
—Eleventh Doctor, "The Lodger"

People fall out of the world sometimes, but they always leave traces. Little things we can't quite account for. Faces in photographs, luggage, half-eaten meals, rings. Nothing is ever forgotten, not completely. And if something can be remembered, it can come back.
—The Eleventh Doctor tries to get Amy to remember Rory, "The Pandorica Opens"
|
Rory: So why am I here? —"The Pandorica Opens"
|
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? (beat) Come on! Look at me: no plan, no backup, no weapons worth a damn. Oh, and something else I haven't got: Any, thing, 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.
—Eleventh Doctor to an entire army of Doctor Who villains, "The Pandorica Opens"

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. That's okay. 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 gonna 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? Woulda had. Never had. In your dreams, they'll still be there. The Doctor and Amy Pond, and the days that never came.
—Eleventh Doctor to Amelia, just before he's about to be erased from time, "The Big Bang".

Eleventh Doctor: ... Dr Song, you've got that face on again. —"The Impossible Astronaut"

You just raised an army against yourself! And now, for a thousand generations, you're going to be ordering them to destroy you every day. How fast can you run?

The truth? Hex wants the truth. Where to start? The most important truth you never learned, Hexxie boy, is that when the chips are down, the Doctor only ever thinks about himself. You see, it's just a chess game for him. He is the King -- All clever and very impressive but very hands-off with the nitty-gritty. He sits at the back and sends everyone else rushing about, doing his dirty work, all those plans and strategies and tinkering, sending wave after wave of pawns to die while he keeps his conscience clean.

Y'know, when you're a kid, they tell you it's all grow up, get a job, get married, get a house, have a kid and that's it. But the truth is the world's so much stranger than that, and so much darker, and so much madder, and so much better.

—Donna Noble describing the Tenth Doctor, "The Doctor's Daughter"
|
When you run with the Doctor, it feels like it will never end. But however hard you try, you can't run forever. Everybody knows that everybody dies, and nobody knows it like the Doctor. But I do think that all the skies of all the worlds might just turn dark if he ever, for one moment, accepts it. Everybody knows that everybody dies. But not every day. Not today. Some days are special. Some days are so, so blessed. Some days, nobody dies at all. Now and then, every once in a very long while, every day in a million days, when the wind stands fair and the Doctor comes to call, everybody lives.

Father Octavian: You promised me an army. —"The Time of Angels"

You know what's dangerous about you, Doctor? It's not that you make people take risks, it's that you make them want to impress you. You make it so they don't want to let you down. You have no idea how dangerous you make people to themselves when you're around.

But not as brave as they all have to be, because there's somebody coming. I don't know where he is, or what he's doing, but trust me; he's on his way. There's a man who's never going to let us down, and not even an army can get in the way. He's the last of his kind; he looks young, but he's lived for hundreds and hundreds of years. And wherever they take you, Melody, however scared you are, I promise you, you will never be alone. Because this man is your father. He has a name, but the people of our world know him better... as The Last Centurion." |

River: I've been sending out a message. A distress call. Outside the bubble of our time. The universe is still turning and I've sent a message everywhere. To the future and the past, the beginning and the end of everything. "The Doctor is dying. Please, please help." |
Dorium: On the Fields of Trenzalor at the Fall of the Eleventh, where no living creature can speak falsely or fail to answer, a Question will be asked. A Question that must never, ever be answered. |
"Doctor who?"

Droxil (after he and his subordinates have put their weapons on the ground and stepped back from the crying Madge, who then pulls a pistol of her own): "...there's nothing you could say that would convince me you would ever use that gun." —"The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe"
