Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes

Day Of The Daleks – Episode 1

[Jo brings the hungry Sergeant Benton some food]
Benton: Ah, you've saved my life.
Yates: [offscreen] Sergeant Benton!
Benton: [jumping to attention] Sir!
[to himself] Oh, no.
Yates: [entering] Just what do you think you're up to, Benton?
Benton: Uh, I was just checking, sir.
Yates: Yes, well I want you to go and check on number 3 patrol. Move, Sergeant Benton.
Benton: Sir. [he leaves]
Yates: Jo, how thoughtful.
[he helps himself to the cheese and wine that Benton didn't even get to touch]
Jo: That wasn't very kind of you.
Yates: RHIP, Jo.
Jo: Pardon?
Yates: Rank Has Its Privileges.

Day Of The Daleks – Episode 2

Controller: I have to report that we have lost the trace. It was operating only a few moments.
Dalek: We are not interested in excuses. Find them! Find them! Find them!

Day Of The Daleks – Episode 3

Dalek: Report!
Controller: The security guards have combed the tunnels. They've found nothing.
Dalek: You have failed the Daleks! You will be punished!
Controller: The fault is not mine! Your security guards let them get away. Those creatures are useless!
Dalek 2: They are loyal to the Daleks.
Controller: As loyal as they are stupid. They will never be a match for human guerillas.
Dalek 2: No one can succeed who opposes the Daleks.
Controller: For every guerilla cell that you destroy, another one springs up. They have stolen your time machines and copied them. They steal your weapons, your explosives.
Dalek: These criminals will be exterminated. The Daleks will destroy them.
Controller: If only you would let me recruit more human security guards, I...
Dalek: Humans are treacherous and unreliable!
Controller: Not all humans. I have served you faithfully.
Dalek: Do not dispute with the Daleks! Obey without question!
Controller: Very well. There was one curious thing. The girl referred to a companion in her own time zone. She called him the Doctor.
Dalek 2: Doctor? Did you say Doctor?
Controller: He appears to have got through to our time. He was seen by the guards.
Dalek: The Doctor is an enemy of the Daleks! He must be found at once and exterminated!

Day Of The Daleks – Episode 4

Dalek: The Daleks have discovered the secret of time travel. We have invaded Earth again. We have changed the pattern of history.
The Doctor: You won't succeed, you know.
Dalek: The Dalek empire will spread through all planets and all times. No one can withstand the power of the Daleks!

Big Finish tweeted about the possibility of animating audio stories*in early April, asking people what they'd most like to see animated (without promising anything, of course).*
Intriguing if they're actually thinking about it.

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

A publicity still of the second Doctor, Patrick Troughton, for the 1967 story The Faceless Ones.

Saw The Macra Terror last night. I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The animation has vastly improved from the borderline unwatchable Power, and I have to say I COMPLETELY agree with the move to make the animations "Reimaginings" if that means widescreen, full colour and a lot of artistic licence with the visuals. Why the hell not? It looks fab, and while the story is little more than average - if perfectly fun and entertaining - the visuals help enormously to make it appealing to actually watch. I very much hope they continue to do missing stories in this style, and if Big Finish are considering their own, I'm down with that too. Great fun.

Be fantastic if big finish did start this! Would be no reason to watch the PC friendly and monster free Who that the BBC have spawned.

Gotta' say if Big Finish do begin with animations i'll subscribe. One a month or every couple of months would be fantastic.

Unlike the BBC they'd have a dedicated animation department that would constantly be working on them.

Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes

The Curse Of Peladon – Episode 1

Jo: Where are we?
The Doctor: Somewhere inside the castle, I should think. Let's take a look around.
(There are footsteps so they duck back behind the tapestry as a familiar scaly-armoured green figure hisses its way past. They follow it to a corner.)
Jo: What was that?
The Doctor: That, Jo, was an Ice Warrior. A native of the planet Mars.
Jo: You've seen them before?
The Doctor: Yes, indeed I have, and believe me, they're not very pleasant company.
Jo: Oh, come on, let's get back to the tunnel quickly.

The Curse Of Peladon – Episode 2

Hepesh: Your Majesty, the charge against the chairman delegate from Earth is one of extreme sacrilege. I, Hepesh, High Priest of Peladon, and Grun, the King's champion, accuse you, an alien intruder, of desecrating the holy of holies, the inner sanctum of the temple of Aggedor. Your Majesty.
Peladon: I have no alternative, Doctor. To this charge, the laws of Peladon allow of no defence and only one punishment. Death.

The Curse Of Peladon – Episode 3

The Doctor: Klokleda partha mennin kletch. Haroon, haroon, haroon. Klokleda sheena tirra nach. Haroon, haroon, haroon.
(The creature goes quiet.) Haroon, haroon, haroon. Haroon, haroon, haroon. Haroon, haroon, haroon. Haroon, haroon, haroon. Well, I must say, you seem quite partial to old Venusian lullabies, don't you, Aggedor, old chap, hmm? Right, let's see how friendly you really are. All right, take it easy.
