Derek Seaton: Commander Hilred

Quotes 

• Commander Hilred : Castellan, I have to report the intruder in Sector 7...

  Castellan Spandrell : Well?

  Commander Hilred : Evaded us. And he shot one of my guards.

  Castellan Spandrell : I see. Such efficiency.

  Commander Hilred : But we have him trapped in the communications tower, Castellan.

  Castellan Spandrell : Well done, Hildred. An antiquated capsule, for which you get adequate early warning, tranducts on the very perimeter of the Capitol. You are informed that the occupant is a known criminal, whereupon you allow him to escape and conceal himself in a building a mere 53 stories high. A clever stratagem, Hildred. You're trying to confuse him, I take it?

  Commander Hilred : I apologise, Castellan. He won't evade capture a second time.

  Castellan Spandrell : In the light of your impressive record so far, I would make no rash commitments.

• Commander Hilred : [looking at the TARDIS]  If I didn't know better, Castellan, I'd swear it was a Type 40.

  Castellan Spandrell : It is.

  Commander Hilred : But that's impossible. There are no Type 40s in service. They're out of commission, obsolete.

  The Doctor : [Inside, watching them on the scanner screen]  Obsolete? Twaddle! Take no notice, my dear old thing.

  [he pats the TARDIS console]
