Does every Doctor have a catchphrase? If so what are they?


What are the catchphrases of the eleven (at the time of this posting) Doctor incarnations in Doctor Who?


For example I know of a few:




  1. Chris Eccleston (9th Doctor): Fantastic!

  2. David Tenant (10th Doctor): Allons-y!, I am so sorry


Et cetera.


Does anyone have a list of all of the doctor's catchphrases over the years?



Answer



This is what I have so far (taken from here):


List by Doctor Number:



  1. (William Hartnell): Hmmn. Hmmn. Hmmn.


  2. (Patrick Troughton): When I say run.

  3. (Jon Pertwee): nothing comes to mind except Whomobile

  4. (Tom Baker): Care for a Jelly baby

  5. (Peter Davison): nothing again except for Cricket & Celery

  6. (Colin Baker): got nothing

  7. (Sylvester McCoy): nothing again

  8. (Paul McGann): Who am I?

  9. (Christopher Eccleston): Fantastic

  10. (David Tennant):
    - I'm sorry, I'm so sorry

    - Allons-y!

  11. (Matt Smith):
    - fezzes/bow-ties/[random articles of clothing] are cool
    - Geronimo

  12. (Peter Capaldi):
    - Shut up. Shutity shut up.



Another list from the above link:


1st

Doctor Who?
Come along, my dear!
Tut, tut. Dear, dear, dear. Hmmmph!
We can't change history!


2nd
Oh, my giddy aunt!
Oh, dear!
People spend all their time making nice things and then other people come along and break them.


3rd
Did I ever tell you about the time...

Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow!
My dear chap!
A straight line may be the shortest distance between two points, but it is by no means the most interesting.
Allow me to congratulate you, sir. You have the most totally closed mind that I’ve ever encountered.


4th
Would you like a Jelly Baby?
You might be "a doctor" I am "the doctor", the definite article you might say.
There’s no point being grown-up if you can’t be childish sometimes.


5th
Brave heart, Tegan.

I can't free the TARDIS from the time corridor!
What's the problem, old girl? Why this compulsion for planet Earth?
There’s always something to look at if you open your eyes.


6th
Mmmmm. I wonder... Aha!
The TARDIS, when working properly, is capable of many amazing things. Not unlike myself!


In all my travellings througout 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!!!!!!


7th
Not this time...
I have made a graaave error of judgement!

If we fight like animals, we die like animals.


8th
Who am I?
I love humans. Always seeing patterns in things that aren’t there.


9th
Fantastic!
I was there...


10th
Allons-y!
I'm so sorry...

I don't want to go!


11th
... is cool. I like ...
Come along, Pond! GERONIMO


GET YOUR COAT!!!



  1. (Peter Capaldi):

    • Shut up. Shutity shut up.

harry potter - Did Dolores Umbridge Have Any Association with Voldemort (or Death Eaters) before His Return?

I noticed that Dolores Umbridge was born during the first Wizarding War, so it's very likely she wasn't a Death Eater then (but she is pretty evil -- who knows?). After that Voldemort was not around in a way that could affect many people, and most wouldn't know he was planning to rise again. During that time, and up through Voldemort's return (in Goblet of Fire ), did Umbridge have any connection with the Death Eaters or with Voldemort? Was she doing what she did on her own, or was it because of an association with Voldemort or his allies? Answer Dolores Umbridge was definitely not a good person. However, as Sirius points out, "the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters". Remember that he also says that he doesn't believe Umbridge to be a Death Eater, but that she's evil enough (or something like that). I think there are two strong reasons to believe that: Umbridge was proud to do everything according to the law, except when she trie...

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

aliens - Interstellar Zoo story

I vaguely remember this story from my childhood: it was about an interstellar zoo that came to Earth with lots of bizarre and unusual species, and humans would file through and gape at all the crazy looking creatures from other planets. The twist came at the end when the perspective shifted to the other side of the bars and we discovered that the "creatures" were traveling through space on a kind of safari. They thought they were the visitors and we were the animals. Neither side knew that the other side thought they were the zoo creatures. Answer Got it. Zoo, by Edward D. Hoch. Published in 1958.

tolkiens legendarium - Did Gandalf wear his Ring of Power throughout the trilogy?

After Gandalf discovered that Sauron was back and sent Frodo on his quest to Rivendell, did he continue to wear Narya (one of the Three Rings)? It seems like a huge risk to continue to wear it after the Nazgûl (Ringwraiths) started to try and reclaim the One Ring; if they managed to get the ring to Sauron, couldn't he be corrupted by his power? Whatever powers Narya bestows upon him couldn't possibly be worth the huge risk, could it? Answer When Sauron forged the one ring and put it on his finger, the other ring bearers were immediately aware of him and his intentions and removed their own rings. There is no reason why they couldn't merely do so again. As soon as Sauron set the One Ring upon his finger they were aware of him; and they knew him, and preceived that he would be master of them, and of all they wrought. Then in anger and fear they took off their rings. "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age," Silmarillion
