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 - Do the Kwikspell courses work?

In Harry Potter we are introduced to Kwikspell course in The Chamber of Secrets (and never hear about it again). We see Filch taking courses, presumably by mail. The descriptions of Kwikspell make me think it is for people who are weak in magic (kind of like how Neville was supposed to be when he was younger), but had magic in them nonetheless. However, Ron's comments later in the chapter make it sound like it is mainly for Squibs to learn magic. However, it is strongly implied through out all the books that Squibs are essentially Muggles, and will never be able to do magic. How then is a Kwikspell course supposed to work? Do we have any information to know if it works at all? Is it a scam? An answer from any level of canon is welcome. Answer Kwikspell courses are (probably) useful to some wizards, but not to squibs. The Kwikspell course literature comes with two testimonials. Madam Z. Nettles of Topsham writes: ‘I had no memory for incantations and my potions were a family joke...

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.

star trek - Warning regarding forward saucer section in Nemesis?

In Star Trek: Nemesis , just before the Enterprise rams into the Scimitar, Picard sends a text message from his captain's chair arm pad to Troi — who is manning the helm in lieu of the crewman who was just blown out through what was once the view screen — indicating that she should put full impulse on standby. (Literally, if you watch the scene closely, Troi's console prefaces the order with "TXT MSG" !) My question is: Did Picard also somehow warn crew members in the forward saucer section about what was about to happen? The ramming of the Scimitar was a heat of the moment decision. Considering that he also resorted to calling the auto-destruct sequence shortly after (which ended up being offline), he probably was of the mindset that any losses would be acceptable in order to hault Shinzon's march to Earth. Still, I'm curious. Answer The original script indicates that he called for the crew to " brace for impact ". Whether that call (or the comma...

star wars - What "exactly" happens when someone turns to the Dark Side?

When I saw the original Star Wars saga as a kid, the concept of the Dark Side imprinted in me was quite simple. You did a bad thing, so you're a bad person so you go to the Dark Side and keep doing bad things. Now, obviously this doesn't hold true in reality. In my mind it is perfectly reasonable for Luke to kill the Emperor and Vader and then just flee the Death Star and rejoin the Alliance. After all they are at war, those are enemy officers that have captured him and are taunting him by threatening with death of all loved ones and the whole operation was intended to kill the Emperor anyway. The same would hold true for Anakin. He could have killed Mace Windu to save the Chancellor and Padme but that doesn't mean he's going to then go mad and kill all Jedis including children. It doesn't add up from a merely psychological point of view. He had a set of objectives and that made him want to keep the Chancellor alive (quite valid by the way, Mace Windu is quite clums...
