The TARDIS must have known I was busy. LUCIE: (transmitter) Hello? Doctor? DAPHNE: That's ... me, isn't it? LUCIE: (transmitter) It's me. Lucie. THE DOCTOR: With all due respect... LUCIE: (transmitter) Lucie Miller. THE DOCTOR: That is the real thing. LUCIE: (transmitter) Don't know when, where you'll be receiving this. Maybe you've forgotten all about me, again. But you left this daft gizmo thing behind, so that I could call you if I needed help. Well, I do. We all do. The whole bloomin' human race is in real trouble. — Prisoner of the Sun
