Quotes

Lumic: What is your name?

Doctor: I'm the Doctor.

Lumic: A redundant title. Doctors need not exist. Cybermen never sicken.

Doctor: Yeah, but that's it! That's exactly the point! Oh, Lumic, you're a clever man...I'd call you a genius, except I'm in the room. But everything you've invented, you did to fight your sickness. And that's brilliant. That is so human. But once you get rid of sickness and mortality, then what's there to strive for? Eh? The Cybermen won't advance. You'll just stop! You'll stay like this forever. A metal Earth with metal men and metal thoughts. Lacking the one thing that makes this planet so alive. People. Ordinary, stupid, brilliant people.

Across whole show

Entry In "Human Nature," when John Smith (The Doctor's human identity) is talking about his parents, he says their names are Sydney and Verity. Sydney Newman was the creator of Doctor Who and Verity Lambert was the first producer.
Entry Possible Spoiler: At the time of this writing, it is generally believed that the "Mister Saxon" referred to throughout Season 3 will turn out to be The Master. One piece of evidence backing this theory is The Master's penchant for anagrammatic aliases: Mister Saxon is an anagram of "Master No Six," and if it's true, John Simm would be the 6th actor to play The Master.
Entry At the end of the episode "Voyage of the Damned", Astrid is set loose to travel through space and time. Astrid is an anagram of TARDIS, which does the same thing.
Entry 2007 Christmas Special - Voyage Of The Damned: Max Capricorn's logo shows the Titanic flying from a cresent moon. But look at it another way and it looks like a sinking ship.

The Empty Child (1) (series 1)

Entry The 'Tula' stems from an Indian restaurant where the writer ate.
Entry Jack causes the Clock Tower to light up. At the end, the writer wanted someone to say 'Jack, did you remember to turn off Big Ben?' then have a bomb land on the Houses of Parliament and the Clock Tower. (The Houses of Parliament did get bombed. The joke was to make it all Jack's fault).

Rose (series 1)

Entry The "I can feel the earth spinning" scene was filmed outside the changing rooms of a local football (soccer) team called the Gabalfa Draconians. The Draconians were an alien race in the 1970s story "Frontier in Space."

The Satan Pit (2) (series 2)

Entry The ood were originally going to be another species from the planet Raxacoricofallapotorius, home of the Slitheen.

The Idiot's Lantern (series 2)

Entry The wallpapers on the walls were real 1950s design. Some of them cost 100£ a roll.

The Age of Steel (2) (series 2)

Entry Originally, Mrs Moore was to die earlier, but her life was extended with every draft.

Rise of the Cybermen (1) (series 2)

Entry Only eleven cybermen costumes were built but careful filming makes it look as if there are more.

The Girl in the Fireplace (series 2)

Entry The spaceship was designed in the shape of a key.

New Earth (series 2)

Entry It was so hot inside the Duke of Manhattan's costume that his fat suit had its own cooling system.
Entry The scene on the ladder had to be shot carefully, as it was only big enough for three people.

All of series 2 (series 2)

Entry 'Torchwood' is an anagram for 'Doctor Who'.

Voyage of the Damned (series 3)

Entry Bernard Cribbins, who plays Wilfred Mott in this series has appeared in a much earlier Dr. Who story - he played Tom Campbell in the feature film Dalek Invasion Earth 2050 AD with Peter Cushing as the Doctor.

The Sound of Drums (2) (series 3)

Entry During the episode, the Master is watching the Telly Tubbies on his laptop - this is very similar to an episode during the John Pertwee era, when the Master, played Roger Delgado is seen watching an episode of the Clangers whilst in prison.

The Poison Sky (2) (series 4)

Entry When The Doctor puts on the gas mask and looks at the soldier who already has his mask on, The Doctor asks, "Are you my mummy?" This was a reference the "Empty Child" episode where infected people wearing gas masks constantly say,"Are you my mummy".
