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.

Did the gatekeeper and the keymaster get intimate in Ghostbusters?

According to TVTropes ( usual warning, don't follow the link or you'll waste half your life in a twisty maze of content ): In Ghostbusters, it's strongly implied that Dana Barret, while possessed by Zuul the Gatekeeper, had sex with Louis Tully, who was possessed by Vinz Clortho the Keymaster (key, gate, get it?), in order to free Big Bad Gozer. In fact, a deleted scene from the movie has Venkman explicitly asking Dana if she and Louis "did it". I turned the quote into a spoiler since it contains really poor-taste joke, but the gist of it is that it's implied that as part of freeing Gozer , the two characters possessed by the Keymaster and the Gatekeeper had sex. Is there any canon confirmation or denial of this theory (canon meaning something from creators' interviews, DVD commentary, script, delete scenes etc...)? Answer The Richard Mueller novelisation and both versions of the script strongly suggest that they didn't have sex (or at the very l...

Why didn't The Doctor or Clara recognize Missy right away?

So after it was established that Missy is actually both the Master, and the "woman in the shop" who gave Clara the TARDIS number... ...why didn't The Doctor or Clara recognize her right away? I remember the Tenth Doctor in The Sound of Drums stating that Timelords had a way of recognizing other Timelords no matter if they had regenerated. And Clara should have recognized her as well... I'm hoping for a better explanation than "Moffat screwed up", and that I actually missed something after two watchthroughs of the episode. Answer There seems to be a lot of in-canon uncertainty as to the extent to which Time Lords can recognise one another which far pre-dates Moffat's tenure. From the Time Lords page on Wikipedia : Whether or not Time Lords can recognise each other across regenerations is not made entirely clear: In The War Games, the War Chief recognises the Second Doctor despite his regeneration and it is implied that the Doctor knows him when they fir...

story identification - Animation: floating island, flying pests

At least 20 years ago I watched a short animated film which stuck in my mind. The whole thing was wordless, possibly European, and I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine it... It featured a flying island which was inhabited by some creatures who (in my memory) reminded me of the Moomins. The island was frequently bothered by large winged animals who swooped around, although I don't think they did any actual damage. At the end one of the moomin creatures suddenly gets a weird feeling, feels forced to climb to the top of the island and then plunges down a shaft right through the centre - only to emerge at the bottom as one of the flyers. Answer Skywhales from 1983. The story begins with a man warning the tribe of approaching skywhales. The drummers then warn everybody of the hunt as everyone get prepared to set "sail". Except one man is found in his home sleeping as the noise wake him up. He then gets ready and is about to take his weapon as he hesitates then decides ...

warhammer40k - What evidence supposedly supports Tau as related to the Necrontyr?

I've heard of rumours saying that the Tau from Warhammer 40K are in fact the Necrontyr. Is there anything that supports this statement, in WH40K canon? I just found this, on 1d4 chan 1 : Helping Necrons? Or are they Necrontyr descendants? An often overlooked issue is that Tau have no warp signatures, just like Necrons, hate Warpspawns and Warp in general, just like Necrons, have the exact same skull shape,stature and short lives, and the overwhelming need for Technology and beam weapons, JUST LIKE NECRONS. GW may have planned a race that simply prepares a pacified, multiracial galaxy for Necrons to feast upon, supported by Ethereals that have a C'tan phase blade. Then there is a reference of "dark seed in east" by the Deceiver, so the tricky C'tan might give Tzeentch the finger in the JUST AS PLANNED competition. Or maybe GW just has so little creativity that they simply made a new civ conforming to an Old One's standards without knowing it. Is this the connec...
