ROMANA: Oh, I do love the spring. All the leaves, the colours.
DOCTOR: It's October.
ROMANA: I thought that you said we were coming here for May week.
DOCTOR: I did. May week's in June.
ROMANA: I'm confused.
DOCTOR: So was the TARDIS.
ROMANA: Oh, I do love the autumn. All the leaves, the colours.
— Shada
DOCTOR: Well, at least with something as simple as a punt nothing can go wrong. No coordinates, no dimensional stabilisers, nothing. Just the water, a punt, a strong pair of hands and the pole.
(Whereupon the pole gets stuck in the mud of the riverbed and the Doctor has to let it go. They drift on under a bridge.)
Tags: Funny
DOCTOR: Blaming the Universe is the only way I can get out of bed in the morning.
— Fourth Doctor, Doctor Who and the Krikkitmen
DOCTOR: Change, my dear. And it seems not a moment too soon.
— Sixth Doctor, The Caves of Androzani
DOCTOR: It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for.
— Fourth Doctor, Logopolis
MASTER: If we do cooperate, there'll be no question of you ever returning to Gallifrey.
DOCTOR: If we don't cooperate, there'll be no question of Gallifrey.
— Logopolis
ROMANA: How did you know?
DOCTOR: Oh, knowing's easy. Everyone does that ad nauseam. I just sort of hope.
— State of Decay
DOCTOR: We're all basically primeval slime with ideas above its station.
— Fourth Doctor, Full Circle
DOCTOR: First things first?
ROMANA: Exactly.
DOCTOR: But not necessarily in that order.
— Meglos
DOCTOR: One must always accept the unexpected.
— Fourth Doctor, The Leisure Hive
DOCTOR: Ha ha! We did it!
K9: Please clarify.
DOCTOR: Well, I just put a lot of spin on the TARDIS, and the asteroid simply sliced us up out of the gravity whirlpool. Oh, you know, K9, sometimes I think I'm wasted just rushing around the universe saving planets from destruction. With a talent like mine, I might have been a great slow bowler.
— The Horns of Nimon
RIGG: Yes, but who do you work for?
DOCTOR: Work for? I don't work for anybody. I'm just having fun.
— Nightmare of Eden
DOCTOR: Of course we should interfere. Always do what you’re best at, that’s what I say.
— Fourth Doctor, Nightmare of Eden
DOCTOR: Well, to be fair, I did have a couple of gadgets which he probably didn't, like a teaspoon and an open mind.
— Fourth Doctor, The Creature from the Pit
SCARLIONI: Yes, it would. So you stole the bracelet simply because it's pretty?
DOCTOR: Yes. Well, I think it is. Don't you?
SCARLIONI: Yes.
COUNTESS: My dear, I don't think he's as stupid as he seems.
SCARLIONI: My dear, nobody could be as stupid as he seems.
DOCTOR: Oh.
SCARLIONI: This interview is at an end.
— City of Death
DOCTOR: I say, what a wonderful butler. He's so violent.
— Fourth Doctor, City of Death
DAVROS: I have failed!
DOCTOR: Yes. What does it feel like?
— Destiny of the Daleks
DOCTOR: Would you mind not standing on my chest? My hat's on fire.
— Fourth Doctor, The Androids of Tara
DOCTOR: Here. Look, how can I explain? Listen, Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity said
EMILIA: Said that you cannot travel in space faster than the speed of light, because the speed of light is a limiting factor. If you travelled more than a hundred and eighty thousand miles per second, you'd encounter the time distortion effect.
DOCTOR: Yes. Yes, well, he was nearly right.
EMILIA: In fact, you'd arrive at your destination before you'd left your starting point.
DOCTOR: Yes. Absurd, isn't it?
EMILIA: Oh, I don't know.
DOCTOR: I always thought it was fun, myself. I did try to explain the realities to poor old Albert, but he would insist that he knew best.
EMILIA: Oh, they're all the same, these physicists. Oh, sorry.
— The Stones of Blood
KIMUS: You don't think that's wrong, do you?
DOCTOR: Wrong? It's an economic miracle. Of course it's wrong.
— The Pirate Planet
ROMANA: Newton? Who's Newton?
DOCTOR: Old Isaac? Friend of mine on Earth. He discovered gravity. Well, I say he discovered gravity. I had to give him a bit of a prod.
ROMANA: What did you do?
DOCTOR: Climbed up a tree.
ROMANA: And?
DOCTOR: Dropped an apple on his head.
ROMANA: Ah, and so he discovered gravity.
DOCTOR: No, no, he told me to clear off out of his tree. I explained it to him afterwards at dinner.
DOCTOR: Er, excuse me! What I'd like to know. Where did you get those jelly babies?
ROMANA: Same place you get them.
DOCTOR: Where?
ROMANA: Your pocket.
DOCTOR: By the time I've called look out, what's your name?
ROMANA: Romanadvoratnelundar.
DOCTOR: By the time I've called that out, you could be dead. I'll call you Romana.
ROMANA: I don't like Romana.
DOCTOR: It's either Romana or Fred.
ROMANA: All right, call me Fred.
DOCTOR: Good. Come on, Romana.
— The Ribos Operation
DOCTOR: Have you ever heard of the Flying Dutchman?
LEELA: No.
DOCTOR: Pity, I've often wanted to know who he was.
— Underworld
