An Adventure in Space and Time

"Doctor... who?"

"[in 1964, showing Lambert a newspaper] Verity, take a look at this. Take a look at this! General de Gaulle. "Degaullek" - "Non! Non! Non!" [shows picture of de Gaulle as a Dalek] We've really got something here. They love us."

"You can't have Doctor Who without Doctor Who, can you?"

"[clip of the real Hartnell, from The Dalek Invasion of Earth] I want you to belong somewhere, to have roots of your own. With David you will be able to find those roots and live normally like any woman should do. Believe me, my dear, your future lies with David and not with a silly old buffer like me. One day, I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine."

"[catchphrase] Pop-pop-pop!"

"[to Hartnell] "Not blessed"? What the hell are you talking about? Of course you're blessed! You're gonna be "Doctor Who", aren't ya? Perfect choice for my little show - well, my idea, anyway. That's what I do - ideas. One day I came into ITV - "I got an idea," I said. "The Avengers". "What's it about?" they said. "How the hell should I know?" I said. "But what a title!""

"Be a producer, Verity. Find a way to deal with this stuff. Or are ya out of your depth?"

"[after the premiere of The Daleks] Ten million viewers for your bug-eyed monsters. Ten million. So... what do I know about anythin'? [winks] Well done, kid."

"[to a friend, when asked about finding a job in TV] "You're only a production assistant, dear, it's a bit of a leap." I'm giving myself a year, Jackie - get on in television, or get out."

"The old curiosity shop, the Roman forum, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, symphonies in pencil and ink... so surely you can turn your hand to my teeny little time machine?"

"[on the script for An Unearthly Child] What is this? What are we going to do with this? Stone Age man going "ug"? It's crazy! Cavemen and doctors and disappearing bloody police boxes!"

"Wish I knew what bloody dimension I was in..."
