Rewatched Destiny Of The Daleks. Lalla Ward's first story (as Romana cough). A story of bits really. A bit of Asimov ... a bit of Adams ... well, quite a lot of Adams if you listen to the comm ... ahem. Movellans. I like saying it. Yes, they resembleth a Brit funk band a tad, but that adds to the fun imho. Plus the old Cyclops is back... a bit dustier but still as malevolent as ever (a touch broader though, I notices) ... it's fun to watch them spar. Plus it's got that line

Spack off!

The episode one cliffhanger is terrific, so is the episode two one as well.

Spack?



Lawdy. Where in that review does it say I'm unfond of this story?? It's only about the 15th time I've watched it etc.

I thought 'Spack off' was what you meant by 'that line'.

No. It's when the Doctor is behind Davros with a Movellan bomb, the Daleks appear, the Doctor tells them if they come any closer he'll " Drop the device into Davros' chair and turn him into scrap metal...Now spack off!" he shouts.

So he does

Silly Demon.

Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes

Robot – Part 1

[Catching the Doctor at the TARDIS, Harry tries to convince him to return to the sick bay]
Harry: No, Doctor, I'm the doctor and I say that you're not fit.
The Doctor: You may be *a* Doctor, but I'm *the* Doctor. The definite article, you might say.
Harry: Look here, Doctor, you're not fit...
The Doctor: Not fit! Not fit! Of course I'm fit. All systems go!
[the Doctor karate chops a convenient brick in twain, then jogs in place]
Harry: Well, look...
[the Doctor stops, grabs the end of Harry's stethescope and holds it to his heart. Harry listens. The Doctor moves it to his other heart]
The Doctor: Heartsbeat?
Harry: I say, I don't think that can be right.
The Doctor: Both a bit fast, are they?

Robot – Part 2

(The Doctor is lying on the bench with his hat over his face.)
The Brigadier: Well, Doctor, what are we dealing with? Invasion from outer space again?
The Doctor: Why should some alien life form invade Earth just to steal a new weapon? If they were that advanced, they'd have weapons of their own. Ha. Rather a splendid paradox, eh, Brigadier (The Doctor gets to his feet.) The only ones who could do it wouldn't need to.
The Brigadier: Enemy agents?
The Doctor: Well, they might steal the plans, but why steal the circuits and the generators? An enemy government would have those resources itself.
The Brigadier: So where does that leave us?
The Doctor: I think your enemies are home grown, Brigadier. People with access to technological information and a most unusual weapon. A weapon that walks and thinks. In a word, anthropomorphic.
The Brigadier: Well, I suppose that narrows the field a bit. Do we know anything else about these people?
The Doctor: Only that they're prepared to kill to protect themselves. Where's Sarah?

Robot – Part 3

The Brigadier: A few months ago, the superpowers, Russia, America, and China, decided upon a plan to ensure peace. All three powers have hidden atomic missile sites. All three agreed to give details of those sites plus full operation instructions to another neutral country. In the event of trouble, that country could publish everyone's secrets and so cool things down. Well, naturally enough the only country that could be trusted with such a role was Great Britain.
The Doctor: Naturally, I mean the rest were all foreigners.
The Brigadier: Exactly.

Robot – Part 4

The Brigadier: You know, just once I'd like to meet an alien menace that wasn't immune to bullets.
