"Back in 2005, when I was Christopher Eccleston, we saw one of the largest increases on record, of CO2 in the atmosphere. Unless we keep the rise in global temperature to under 2 degrees, by the time I'm Daniel Radcliffe or wee Jimmy Crankie, I won't be able to save the planet. I won't be here to help you -- well I might, but I'll be that bloke who won Any Dream Will Do."

"Billie and I got chased through the traffic once in a car. You expect paparazzi to do that, but when it's normal people you start to think the world's gone a bit mad."

"I really wouldn't. We have such good writers on the show. And I couldn't walk up to Russell and hand it over and say 'Here's 45 minutes for you' and then he would have to hand it back and say 'Thanks, but it's shit!'"

"It's Torchwood. That's what did it. They give you Retcon, chemicals and radiation and god knows what. [..] That's what Torchwood does, you see...it ruins your life. And saves everyone else's"

"I propose an Institute to investigate these strange happenings and to fight them. I would call it Torchwood. The Torchwood Institute. And if this Doctor should return, then he should beware... because Torchwood will be waiting."

"And so it came to pass that the players took their final places, making ready the events that were to come. The madman, sat in his empire of dust and ashes, little knowing of the glory he would achieve, while his saviour looked upon the wilderness, in the hope of changing his inevitable fate. Far away, the idiots and fools dreamt of a shining new future … a future now doomed to never happen. As Earth rolled onwards into night, the people of that world did sleep, and shiver, somehow knowing that dawn would bring only one thing …The final day!"

"The Master is part of a greater design, because a shadow is falling over creation. Something vast is stirring in the dark!"

"The Master took the name of Saxon. He married a human, a woman called Lucy, and he corrupted her. She stood at his side while he conquered the Earth. I reversed everything he'd done so it had never even happened, but Lucy Saxon remembered. I held him in my arms. I burned his body. The Master is dead!"

"It can't end like this. You and me, all the things we've done. … Axons, remember the Axons? And the Daleks?… We're the only two left. I have no one else. REGENERATE!"

"You wouldn't listen. Because you know what I'm going to say... I forgive you."

"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."

"It was on the planet Skaro that my old enemy, the Master, was finally put on trial. They say he listened calmly as his list of evil crimes was read and sentence passed. Then he made his last, and I thought somewhat curious, request. He demanded that I, the Doctor, a rival Time Lord, should take his remains back to our home planet — Gallifrey. It was a request they should never have granted."

"Do you know any nice people? Y'know, normal everyday people, not power-crazed nutters trying to take over the galaxy?"

"You'd delay an execution to pull the wings off a fly."

"Get out of the way. … You did this to me! All of my life! You made me! One! Two! Three! Four!"

"The human race was always your favourite, Doctor. But now, there is no human race. There is only... the Master race!"

"You can't do this! You can't do...IT'S NOT FAIR!"

"Citizens of Earth, rejoice. Your Lord and Master stands on high."

"Before we start all that, I just wanted to say: thank you. Thank you, one and all, you ugly, fat-faced bunch of wet, snivelling traitors."

"Life is wasted on the living!"

"You do not understand hatred as I understand it. Only hate keeps me alive. Why else should I endure this pain?"

"Nobody could be more devoted to the cause of peace than I! As a commissioner of Earth's Interplanetary Police, I have devoted my life to the cause of law and order; And law and order can only exist in a time of peace."

"I only need two things. Your submission and your obedience to MY WILL!"

"SPILSBURY: They're effectively a giant pepper pot, yeah."

"CORNISH: That's Tom Spilsbury. He's the editor at Doctor Who magazine. The Daleks, he says, look like giant metal salt shakers. But they're somehow believable as evil-armored aliens."

"DOCTOR: The floors are metal. All the floors are metal."

"Aren’t we all interested in dominating other people? Total control, a machine-like desire, and the Daleks. It had a neatness that fitted. In the past only human endeavour has overcome this kind of evil. Man is a supreme creation if he is able to work with his fellows. There is nothing he can’t do if he gets down to it. I believe that what people want on television is entertainment, and action stories are what I want to write – there are plenty of other people to write sociological dramas - but if the Daleks have a message this is it. It’s so ‘nonsensically simple. Why do people starve and die in the streets and go on fighting – Vietnam for instance, all in the name of democracy!"

"The Daleks don’t have any personal character, any conscience, or morality. They are totally bad. This has worried some American companies interested in them —Americans seem to think that even the blackest villain must have some redeeming features. They had to have a purpose, and I knew what: they were concerned with total domination."

"Ray Cusick, the designer, took rough notes of my ideas for the Dalek’s behaviour, the electronic eye, mechanical hands, and so on, and although I didn’t have a clear visual image in my mind, when I saw his finished Dalek design it seemed very familiar. In fact the visible part of the Dalek is only a travelling case inside which there is the Dalek itself, a shapeless brain intercommunicating and interacting with all the other Dalek brains – although later there came a need for these to be organised through a Dalek Supreme."

"I went and talked to David Whitaker, the script editor of ‘Doctor Who’, and I came up with a story idea. They liked it, they bought it, and that takes us up to where the Daleks started. I don’t know to this day what the enormous appeal of the Daleks was. I’ve heard all sorts of ideas about it, but they were slightly magical, because you didn’t know what the elements were that made them work. I’d been a cinema-goer all my life, and loved going to what were rated in those days as horror movies. Whatever the creature was, somewhere in your heart of hearts, you know it was a man dressed up, so my first requirement was to take the legs off. Take away the humanoid form, and we were off and running. Further inspiration came from the Georgian State Ballet, the Russian dance trouple which was performing in London at the time. There was a dance that the women did, where they wore floor-brushing skirts, and evidently took tiny steps, so they appeared to glide across the stage. There was no suggestion of what form of locomotion they were using. That’s what I wanted for the Daleks. The rest of it comes easily, you put on an eye, and something else for hands. We made a big mistake with the hands, of course, we should have been smarter, but I had no faith in the show. It was the old writer’s axiom, ‘Take the money and fly like a thief’. I really didn’t think that it could work. After the Daleks, I was for a short time the most famous writer on television. The press interviewed me, there was mail arriving in great van loads. There was stuff coming to my house that said ‘Dalek Man – London’, and I was getting lots of them. Almost all the kids wanted a Dalek, and nobody was quick enough. The BBC, not being the great commercial operator, wasn’t ready, so there was no merchandising, there were no plastic Daleks, there were no buttons, there were no anything. My God, was that to change! Within the year, there were Dalek everythings."

"The Master was dying and begged for his life with one final game, and when he lost, I sealed him for all eternity inside my gold tooth."

"Every star in the universe -- we were going to see them all. But he was too busy burning them. I don't think she ever saw anything."

"If David Hume had designed the Cybermen to be perfectly reasonable but emotionless, they'd do nothing at all. They'd have no impetus since they'd care about nothing. Mondas would simply drift past the Earth in "The Tenth Planet." Human scientists would no doubt eagerly attempt to contact this newly discovered form of alien life, but the Cybermen wouldn't even wave back at our telescopes. When the new Cybermen are brought to John Lumic, he'd bark orders at them only to be ignored by creatures who, lacking emotions, care no more about what he wants than about whether they live or die. Cybermen built to be reasonable but lacking emotion would be a race indistinguishable from statues, fit only to serve as shop mannequins."

"[W]ould a logical creature really behave like the Cybermen do? If not, how would a logical creature really behave? Or, to put it another way, what's the "logical" way to live? That's the question I'll be examining here by contrasting the views of philosophers Thomas Hobbes, John Stuart Mill, and David Hume, asking what they'd thin of Cyberman "logic and how Cybermen might've looked if they'd been designed according to the principles espoused by these philosophers; how they might have designed the Cybermen differently, given a chance. While my examples come from Doctor Who the issue of living logically has real-world importance. After all, we all have to decide if we care about living logically or not, and if we do not want to live logically, we'd better know what "living logically" requires of us."

"The cybermen are said to be logical creatures-and look how they behave. They've become a race of emotionless soldiers devoted to conquering the universe, destroying other species or forcing them to become Cybermen too."

"Rose Tyler: Five million Cybermen? Easy. One Doctor? Now you're scared!"
