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.

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 ...

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...

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.
