"That's the great thing about the Doctor, he has the energy and mischief of a young child as well as the wisdom, age and intelligence of someone a lot older," she says. With Matt's performance, he's so believable that he isn't human. He has all these things that he does that make you believe he is an alien and you're drawn in by that."

The Doctor: Oh, so, so many, but no more. Dalek Supreme: You should not have revealed your location. You should have kept running! The Doctor: Then you're in luck, because I'm going to run. I'm going to run directly towards you. Dalek Supreme: You are wise to submit to the power of-- The Doctor: Submit? Who said anything about submitting? No, I mean, usually this is when I offer my opponents a chance -- a chance to repent and amend their ways. To surrender. Dalek Supreme: The Daleks will never surrender! The Doctor: Good! 'Cause I'm all out of mercy! So, not submitting, no, this is a message! A warning! No, a guarantee! You lot, you're finished! You hear me?! Today is the day the Daleks die! Today is the day I finally win, once and for all! Dalek Supreme: You cannot stop the might of the new Dalek Empire. You are merely a Time Lord. The Doctor: No, I am... the Doctor Dalek Supreme: The distinction is irrelevant! The Doctor: Then pay attention. All of you! Every single Dalek, listen carefully! I'd say you'll never forget me again but, let's face it, dead Daleks don't remember. Dalek Supreme: Your threats are meaningless! The Doctor: Don't like threats? Fine. Here's a little bit of advice! Run. Run for your lives because the Predator of the Daleks is back on the prowl. And I will hunt down every last one of you., Death of the Doctor [SJA 4.5/4.6]: (25 & 26 October 2010) The Doctor: Good, so gosh, that was different. Hello, everyone! Rani: Who are you? Where's Clyde? The Doctor: Come on, Rani, use your brain; Clyde and I swapped places, yes? So I'm where he was, he's where I was, which means right now— oh. He's in a lot of trouble... The Doctor: Ah, yes. The Claw Shansheeth of the 15th Funeral Fleet; I've been looking for you. Have you been telling people I'm dead?! Shansheeth Leader: I apologise; The death notice was released a little too soon. But I can rectify this - immediately! [fires an energy beam at the Doctor] I'm so sorry for your loss, Doctor. Rest in peace! [The Doctor and Sarah Jane are repairing the Doctor's space-time swapping device using Sarah Jane's sonic lipstick. Jo Jones is in the background] The Doctor: There and there. Sarah Jane: [applies the sonic lipstick] Does it hurt? The Doctor: No. Sarah Jane: I mean the regeneration. That last body of yours, was he okay, I mean? The Doctor: It always hurts. And there. Sarah Jane: So how did you end up in this place? The Doctor: The Shansheeth lured me; a mighty old battlefield just begging to be explored, 'cause I'm travelling with Amy now, and Rory. Then they got married, so I dropped them off on a honeymoon planet, which isn't what you'd think; It's not a planet for a honeymoon, it's a planet on a honeymoon. It married an asteroid. [Sarah Jane and the Doctor laugh] And they nicked the TARDIS. The Shansheeth, not Amy and, err... Fortunately, I had all this wreckage to build a space swapping doodah-thingy-whatsit. Jo: So you have a married couple in the TARDIS. The Doctor: Mr and Mrs Pond! Jo: I only left you because I got married. The Doctor: [quietly, to Sarah Jane] And there. Jo: Did you think I was stupid? The Doctor: Why do you say that? Jo: Well, I was a bit dumb; still am, I suppose. The Doctor: [turning to face Jo] Now what in the world would make you think that, ever, ever, ever? Jo: We had been travelling down the Amazon for months and we reached a village in Crystalline, and it was the only place in thousands of miles that has a telephone, so I called you; I just wanted to say hello. And they told me that you left, left U.N.I.T, never came back, so I waited and waited, because you said you would see me again; you did; I asked you and you said yes, you promised, so I thought one day I would hear that sound, deep in the jungle; I would hear that funny wheezing noise and a big blue box right in the middle of the rainforest, because you wouldn't just leave; not forever, not me. [starts to cry] I've waited my whole, silly life. The Doctor: Oh, but you're an idiot. Jo: Well, there we have it! The Doctor: No, but don't you see? How could I ever find you? You've spent the past 40 years living in huts, climbing up trees, tearing down barricades. You've done everything from flying kites on Kilimanjaro to sailing down the Yangtze in a tea-chest. Not even the TARDIS could pin you down! Jo: Hold on... I did sail down the Yangtze in a tea-chest! How did you know? The Doctor: And that family! All 7 kids, 12 grandchildren, 13th on his way. He's dyslexic, but that'll be fine; great swimmer. Jo: So you've been watching me? All this time? The Doctor: No. Because you're right. I don't look back. I can't. But the last time I was dying, I looked back on all of you. Every single one. And I was so proud. The Doctor: The coffin was the trap. The coffin was the solution.
