Quotes 

  • Policeman : [the Doctor flashes the Psychic Paper at him]  Oh... sorry sir. Shouldn't you be at the Coronation?

    The Doctor : [looks back whilst running]  They're saving me a seat!

    Tommy : Who did he think you were?

    The Doctor : [looking at the Psychic Paper]  King of Belgium, apparently.

  • Tommy : We don't even know where to start looking. It's too late.

    The Doctor : "It's never too late," as a wise person once said. Kylie, I think.

  • The Doctor : [after breaking into Magpie's shop]  If you're here, come out and talk to me! MAGPIE!

    Tommy : Maybe he's out?

    The Doctor : Looks like it.

    [finds a small black box resembling an old portable TV] 

    The Doctor : Oh, hello. This isn't right. This is very much not right.

    [licks it] 

    The Doctor : Tastes like iron. Bakelite. Put together with human hands, yes, but the design itself...

    [scans it with his Sonic Screwdriver] 

    The Doctor : Oh, beautiful work! That is so simple!

    Bishop : That's incredible, it's like a television, but portable! A portable television!

  • Tommy : What are you?

    The Wire : I'm the Wire. And I will gobble you up, pretty boy. Every last morsel.

    [the TV image becomes colour] 

    The Wire : And when I have feasted, I shall regain the corporeal body which my fellow kind denied me.

    Bishop : Good Lord! Colour television!
