5* During '''"The Sirens of Time:"'''
6** At one point in the fourth episode, the three Doctors find themselves tumbling down a shaft. When they reach the bottom, they discover that the Fifth Doctor's sprained his ankle, the Sixth Doctor's gotten a bit banged up but is otherwise okay, and the Seventh Doctor?
7-->'''Seventh Doctor:''' [[BornLucky I'm fine, thanks!]]\
8'''Sixth Doctor:''' I rather think ''I'' broke ''your'' fall.\
9'''Seventh Doctor:''' (Innocently) Sorry!\
10'''Sixth Doctor:''' (Sourly) I'll survive...
11
12[[folder:Fifth Doctor]]
13* "Land of the Dead": Monica's almost constant snarkiness is frequently hilarious, but "Hallelujah! Soot!" might just take the cake.
14* "Winter for the Adept" has a small outtake {{hidden| track}} at the end [[note]](after "Coming Soon...")[[/note]] where Creator/PeterDavison goes off on a Christmassy tangent and breaks down in tears ''while still in character''.
15-->"A better world. A better way of being. That no man will lift his hand in hostility against another man. A--peace, an all-pervading peace where love and joy and... human kindness flow without cease. And the little baby Jesus--''[gasp]''--let's not forget the little baby Jesus--! ''[Hiccup]''\
16"Are you all right, Doctor?\
17''[Sob]'' "Yes!"
18* [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho015TheMutantPhase "The Mutant Phase"]] is one of the most confusing episodes out there, with a TimeyWimeyBall the size of Skaro. It firmly reaches BlackComedy, though, once the Dalek Emperor, who's copied himself into the body of a Thal, gets stuck in the middle of the Dalek invasion. Yes, ''that'' [[Recap/DoctorWhoS2E2TheDalekInvasionOfEarth Dalek invasion]]. He desperately tries to explain to the 22nd century Daleks that the Doctor is their mortal enemy, that exterminating him won't help because a ''younger'' him will still defeat them all in the future, and that time travel is in fact possible. Needless to say, they think he's ''mad''.
19* Pretty much the entirety of "Loups-Garoux" goes between CMOF and Ho Yay. But the crowning moment has to be the marriage cliffhanger.
20** The Doctor and Turlough smell alien, of stillness and coming snow, breaking ice on the rivers in spring, like the oldest forests -- oh, and also goat chop and celery.
21* The entirety of the Creator/BigFinish audio [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho047Omega "Omega"]] is one big [=CMoF=]. Everyone gets to ham it up, but the prize goes to Daland, an in-story LargeHam who proudly tells anyone who'll listen how he won three awards acting in a soap opera on channel 3084 -- before taking a starring role as Omega as part of a cheesy reenactment for a Time Lord history tour for old ladies.
22-->'''Professor Ertikus''': There's something I've been meaning to ask you. Why are you here on this ship? I thought that the Doctor and I-\
23'''Daland''': Oh we're just here to conduct the marriage ceremony.\
24'''Ertikus''': What? Marriage?\
25'''Daland''': Oh, didn't you know? That's why we're here. Sentia's getting married to the ghost of Omega and they're setting up house in a world of antimatter.\
26'''Ertikus''': Oh really?\
27'''Daland''': I suppose I should look on the bright side. It saves me buying them a toaster.
28** The Doctor (well, Omega convinced he's the Doctor) gets a great moment where he verbally owns an obnoxious bookstore-bot that nags him into buying a copy of Omega's biography:
29--->'''Doctor:''' You, my metal friend, are an electronic mugging machine.\
30'''Robot:''' Would you like to consider other related titles, sir?\
31'''Doctor:''' No, I think "electronic mugging machine" will quite suffice.
32** The [[TheMerch talking Omega dolls]] in the gift shop. All the LargeHam you could hope for, fun-sized and with an adorable squeaky little voice to boot!
33--->'''Sentia:''' Can I interest you in a talking Omega doll? It says four different phrases.\
34'''Doctor:''' Sounds like the Omega I know.\
35'''Omega Doll:''' [[EvilIsHammy I, Omega, will have my revenge!]]
36* "The Kingmaker" has its moments. The mental image of a procession of curious time travellers pestering and paparazzi'ng the infamous Richard III throughout his life has to top it though.
37** The Fifth Doctor gets in even more than his usual amount of snark: "I'm a correspondent from the 'Good Cell Guide' and I haven't enjoyed my stay at all. I'm awarding you four out of five slop buckets."
38** "I will be your serving wench for this evening. Would you prefer to sit in carousing or non-carousing?"
39* "[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho087TheGathering The Gathering]]": Tegan force-feeds the Doctor his own ''lapel celery.''
40** The Doctor tries to use karate to open up a van.
41* "[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho146HeroesOfSontar Heroes of Sontar]]": The Doctor's string of meddling in Sontaran military protocol.
42[[/folder]]

44[[folder:Sixth Doctor]]
45* From "The Marian Conspiracy":
46** When the conspirators hear Evelyn mention that she has pills that are lethal in high doses, they try [[FrameUp to accuse her]] of poisoning the queen. That plan kind of fizzles out when she explains that they're ''painkillers'' - and she pops one in front of them to demonstrate. The queen, suffering from headaches herself, asks for one, and by the time they leave, she says she's never felt better.
47* From "Whispers of Terror":
48-->'''Peri''': It's a dim and dusty corridor, Doctor. Can't we just leave?\
49'''Sixth Doctor''': Leave?! Leave?! Do you mean, go away and never know?! Wander for all eternity and never know where we were?! What might have been, what was to come?!\
50'''Peri''': Don't shout, Doctor! There might be-\
51'''Sixth Doctor''': [[IResembleThatRemark SHOUT?!]] [[HypocriticalHumor I don't shout!]] People who have to resort to shouting to get what they want are merely demonstrating the inherent paucity of their argument! It's something that I never, NEVER-\
52'''Peri''': All right, Doctor!!\
53'''Sixth Doctor''': Point made, I think.
54* "The Holy Terror" starts out as this, but gradually drifts into a majorly effective MoodWhiplash. However, many of the moments from the first two parts at least can count as this, for instance:
55-->'''Crowd''': All hail Frobisher! All hail the big talking bird!
56** At the end of the play is a bonus ''disco remix'' of the crowd chant.
57* In "The One Doctor": Trans-dimensional shelving, the Portaloo STARDIS, and absolutely everything about the Jelloid, just for starters.
58** Don't forget the end, where the Doctor convinces the BigBad that he's actually the conman Banto Zame, and vice versa... by making out with Banto's accomplice Sally-Anne.
59--->'''Doctor:''' Well, if I ''was'' the Doctor, I would certainly never do... '''THIS!''' (grabs Sally Ann and kisses her passionately)\
60'''BigBad:''' [Absolutely stunned] Noooo. No. The Doctor certainly wouldn't do ''that''.
61*** There's also the story-long insult match between Banto and the Doctor. Culminating in Banto's immortal line:
62---->'''Doctor''': If I have to endure another insult-\
63'''Banto''': Oh here we go, another voyage 'round the English language!\
64'''Mel''': '''QUIET!'''
65*** The bit where Banto Zame, Sally-Ann, the Doctor, and Mel all have to take off in Banto's fake time machine, the STARDIS... which is decidedly ''not'' BiggerOnTheInside, and dematerialises with a ''toilet-flush'' version of the [[SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound TARDIS's vworp-vworp]].
66** And then there's the beginning, which starts out all dramatic and even sounds kind of scary and intimidating... until it's revealed that it's just the Doctor gloating about how he's winning at Monopoly to his companion and opponent Mel. The LargeHam is ''delicious!''
67* [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho040Jubilee "Jubilee"]]: The completely insane [[RealTrailerFakeMovie fake trailer]] at the beginning. [[EvilLaugh Snickering]] Daleks, [[MsFanservice Evelyn "Hot-Lips" Smythe]], and action-Doctor with a {{BFG}}? Oh, ''boy.'' Of course, then it takes a [[DayOfTheJackboot severe Mood Whiplash]].
68-->'''Doctor''': Daleks. [DramaticGunCock] [[ShoutOut I hate]] [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk these guys]].\
69'''Daleks''': [[OhCrap OH-NO!]] IT-IS-THE-DOC-TOR! [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere SCAR-PER! SCAR-PER!]]
70* "Doctor Who and the Pirates": What's more insufferable than the grammarian wisecracks of the Sixth Doctor? Those same wisecracks ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIdDXQ2h1Pc put to song.]]''
71--> ''♪ [[ChewingTheScenery I-iiiiiiiii--am the very model of a Gallifreyan Buccaneer....]] ♪ ''
72** The fact that Six beginning to sing is the ''cliffhanger for Part Two''.
73* ''[[CharacterFocus Davros]]'': [[NoIndoorVoice The Sixth Doctor]] and some friends have snuck into a restricted hangar, aware that some foul play is afoot, and are observing a shuttle being unloaded from behind some crates, talking in hushed whispers...
74-->'''Doctor''': ''Kim, can you see what's happening?''\
75'''Kim''': ''They're unloading something...it's'' horrible!\
76'''Doctor''': ''Shhhhh!! Don't raise your voice!''\
77'''Kim''': ''It's a body. A mutilated body.''\
78'''Doctor''': ''Let me have a look''...'''[[HypocriticalHumour DAVROS?!?!]]''' ''[running out of cover]'' '''Oi! You there! You! There!'''
79** The Doctor and Davros steadily ratcheting up efforts to dick with each other as they are forced to work together. Seeing two such powerful, vast intelligences reduced to bickering children is simply hilarious.
80** Davros has trapped the Doctor in a cave with a nuclear bomb in it. The bomb has a speaker wired into it. Why, you may ask? Why, so that Davros can ''[[MagnificentBastard hammily taunt the Doctor before he gets nuked]]'', of course.
81--->'''[[LargeHam Davros:]]''' Goodbye, Doctor. I shall... miss you. ''[snickers]'' but then... a nuclear bomb ''[chuckles]'' -- that couldn't ''possibly'' miss! ''[[[EvilLaugh full-tilt psychotic cackling]]]'' ''NOT AT THAT RANGE!'' '''AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHH!!!'''
82** There's also a great bit where he's working himself up into his [[LargeHam usual state]] trying to get his [[UnwittingPawn new pals]] to stop the Doctor from interfering with his plans, but at the same time trying to keep his FalselyReformedVillain cover in place as much as possible. Leads to a marvellous LastSecondWordSwap:
83--->'''Davros:''' ''The Doctor is dangerous!'' '''[[RoboSpeak HE]]-[[PunctuatedForEmphasis SHOULD]]-[[NoIndoorVoice BE]]--''' ... [Almost chokes on the word] ... in-''car''-cerated.
84* In "Brotherhood of the Daleks", we get to hear the Daleks ''[[http://carprediem.tumblr.com/post/39283955611/i-wasnt-kidding-about-the-singing-daleks-and singing.]]'' And surprisingly, they're not entirely tone deaf!
85* "Wirrn Isle" has the Sixth Doctor getting fed up with the monsters' trite dialogue:
86-->'''Wirrn:''' So... hungry... so... long...\
87'''Sixth Doctor''': Eh, I prefer "so long", if you're offering a choice!
88* "Spaceport Fear":
89** Mel and the Doctor meet Naysmith. Then they meet Elder Bones:
90--->'''Mel''': Hello. I'm Mel, this is the Doctor.\
91'''Naysmith''': It's their ritual, Elder Bones. She says "Hello, I'm Mel, this is the Doctor", and he ignores everyone.\
92'''Mel''': ''[to the Doctor]'' Got you sized up, hasn't she?
93** The Doctor doesn't text well:
94--->'''Mel''': [The text is] from someone called "Mindy Ourhead".\
95'''Rogers''': Mindy who?\
96'''Doctor''': Mind your head! ''[he drops from the ceiling on top of them]'' Hello, Mel. Did you miss me?\
97'''Mel''': ''[incredulous]'' Mindy Ourhead?\
98'''Doctor''': My finger slipped on the space button. Well, it's hard to text and cling onto an air conditioning vent on the ceiling at the same time!
99[[/folder]]
100
101[[folder:Seventh Doctor]]
102* ''The Fearmonger'' occasionally has a few of these. Most notably, the Doctor and Ace's entrance to Paul's house.
103-->'''Doctor''': Ah, Paul Tanner! Congratulations, you are today's lucky winner! Ace, tell the man what he's won.
104-->'''Ace''': A complete set of explanations for the Professor here! And you have no idea what a rare and precious thing that is...
105** Also, the Doctor attacking ''an alien organism'' with a ''frying pan'' while making lightsaber noises. CrazyIsCool much?
106* [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho039BangBangABoom "Bang-Bang-A-Boom!"]]. '''All of it.''' Hearing the Seventh Doctor pretend to be TheCaptain on a ''[[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Deep Space Nine]]'' pastiche is a thing of hammy beauty, but the CMOF is his dinner date with [[LoveIsInTheAir Queen Angvia]], the [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Green Skinned Space]]... [[MarshmallowHell Valkyrie]]. Even better is that she's voiced by Creator/PatriciaQuinn, who played Magenta in ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'', and she used the exact same voice in both roles.
107-->'''Doctor:''' But I have to go! The fate of the entire universe is at stake!\
108'''Angvia:''' ''Ze Universe can VAIT!'' '''[[LargeHam I AM A VOMAN!!]]'''
109** Another highlight of that story has to be the Doctor winning the Intergalactic Song Contest... by playing the spoons.
110* ''Night Thoughts'', apart from being, you know, completely and utterly terrifying at the best of times, has a few awesome moments.
111-->'''Major Dickens''': So! This is to be a battle of the minds, is it?
112-->'''Doctor''': ... so nice of you to come unarmed...
113* "A Death in the Family": After the Doctor is apparently KilledOffForReal, Ace remarks on how calm the older Doctor seems.
114-->'''The Doctor''': Not bothered? OF COURSE I'M BOTHERED!! ''I'M DEAD''!
115[[/folder]]
116
117[[folder:Eighth Doctor]]
118* ''Minuet in Hell'' is a DarkerAndEdgier story involving Satanic worship at a BedlamHouse and all the gothic horror that implies. However, there's still more than a few flashes of pitch black humor when the Doctor is [[GoAmongMadPeople trapped in the asylum]] and his explanations only convince his fellow inmates that he ''really is'' crazy. And ''then'' they start getting snarky:
119-->''You're a, what is it again? A Time Master from the planet Chardonnay?''
120* In "Invaders from Mars", when the Doctor finds himself accidentally replacing a 1940's gumshoe and decides to run with it:
121-->'''Doctor:''' So, Miss Bee, what's the rumpus? You cracking foxy with me, or is you in trouble with the bricks? They gonna drag you down to the hole because some guy got shot through the pump with a heater?\
122'''Charley:''' ... are you all right?
123** The best part of that story, set around the time of Creator/OrsonWelles's infamous broadcast of ''Radio/TheWarOfTheWorlds'', is during a confrontation between The Doctor, a gangster (Don Cheney), a Russian spy and a gossip columnist (ItMakesSenseInContext) about who has custody of the aliens that have crash landed on Earth. One of Cheney's henchmen comes running up to him, having heard the broadcast:
124--->'''Henchman:''' Boss! They're here! The aliens! They've landed!\
125''{{Beat}}''\
126'''Cheney:''' WE KNOW THAT YOU PUTZ! WHADDA YA THINK THIS WHOLE GODDAMN CIRCUS HAS BEEN ABOUT?!
127** Also, the bit where the Doctor and friends have to perform the rest of ''Radio/TheWarOfTheWorlds'' radio show to fool a pair of real aliens. The Doctor casts himself as the Martian Commander. It goes [[EvilIsHammy exactly like]] [[IsThisThingStillOn you'd expect]].
128** There's also a really funny bit when the two aliens, [[AxCrazy Destroyer Streath]] and [[OnlySaneMan Conserver Noriam]], sheepishly admit that they're not really the vanguard of an invasion fleet (it's more in the delivery than anything else):
129--->'''Noriam:''' Oh be ''quiet'', Streath; we can't destroy anything and you know it. We... we... haven't [-got the-]... [--firepower.--]
130* [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho029TheChimesOfMidnight "The Chimes Of Midnight"]] is considered one of the best ''Series/DoctorWho'' stories in ''any'' medium. Partly because of its absolutely heart-wrenching plot and tremendously high content of creepiness... and partly because it's done entirely in the style of classic {{Absurdism}}.
131** At one point, Frederick references Creator/AgathaChristie and says he drives a Chrysler. However, as the Doctor points out, it's 1906; Agatha Christie's first novel won't be published until 1920, and Chrysler cars won't exist until 1924. The servants promptly change their story, which leads to fantastic BlackComedy once Frederick is murdered and Mary starts to cry about him and his "Chrysler! Or possibly Bentley!".
132** When the villain of the story compells the butler, mr. Shaughnessy, to murder the Doctor, he remains polite about it, and the doctor responds equally politely.
133--->'''Shaughnessy:''' I'm sorry, sir, but I'm getting an irresistible urge to shoot you in the head. \
134'''The Doctor:''' Well, stiff upper lip and all that.
135* ''Seasons Of Fear'' has the Doctor and Charley flitting around time fighting the immortal Sebastian Grayle and running into the Hellfire Club's main ballroom. The Doctor explains that it was the room where they did "things" ... "naughty things". Follows this exchange:
136-->'''Charley:''' Did they have orgies?
137-->'''The Doctor:''' CHARLOTTE POLLARD!!!
138-->'''Charley:''' I went to an orgy once. ''(wistfully)'' I didn't stay!
139** Charley spends most of the story dragging around a large sword and getting very disappointed that she isn't able to use it.
140** Also, this exchange:
141--->'''Charley:''' ''Sir [[AlliterativeName Peter Pollard]]''?!
142--->'''The Doctor:''' ''Daddy dear''?!
143--->'''Charley:''' I can make this stuff up all day. I've read a lot of Jane Austen.
144* Eight and the [[StealthPun ROSM]] Robot's interactions in "Embrace The Darkness" add quite a bit of levity to what is otherwise a rather disturbing audio:
145-->'''ROSM:''' Do you have any other information?\
146'''Doctor:''' What's this, idle curiosity?\
147'''ROSM:''' Please answer the question.\
148'''Doctor:''' Uh... I... have no... bananas... today.\
149'''ROSM:''' In the absence of an intelligible response, I shall proceed.
150* "The Time of the Daleks": '''[[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Shakespeare-quoting Daleks.]]''' Enough said.
151* "Zagreus", apart from being one hell of a MindScrew, has the Eighth Doctor telling Rassilon to shut it:
152--> '''Doctor:''' So what have you got squirelled away [here]? The Hairdryer of Rassilon? The Hoover of Rassilon? The Rassilon Patent Trouser Press? "These creases last forever!"
153** When the TARDIS locks Zagreus inside a semi-metaphorical Schrödinger's Cat lead box, Zagreus tells her that he's dead now, so she'd better let him out. When the TARDIS pointedly remarks that dead people generally don't talk, Zagreus tries to convince her that she's mad for talking back to a dead person, so she'd better let him out.
154** When the TARDIS disappears in Zagreus, Romana is notified of the occurrence through a message from Gallifrey's watchtower, interrupting the writing of what seems to be a novel starring a very thinly-veiled {{Expy}} of the Doctor. Romana gets mad at K9, who was recording the novel, for not telling her of the occurrence. K9, in response, plays back a message from earlier, with her response being to tell him to essentially shut up:
155--> '''Romana:''' I shall be dictating chapter 3 to you now, K9. No interruptions, is that understood? Gallifrey, the vortex, the fate of the universe, they can all go hang.
156** Leela's been shot and starts giving what seems to be her last words when Romana says it just winged her and she's fine. Not only does Leela just go "oh" and hop on her feet, but the [[TheDayTheMusicLied grandiose background music just]] ''[[LettingTheAirOutOfTheBand dies]]''.
157** In the accompanying making of audio there's a moment where India Fisher has to let out a scream and India timidly asks if she should let out a proper Diva scream. Creator/BonnieLangford ''immediately'' responds "YES QUEEN!", and all of the returning female companions in the booth egg India on as it's a [[NeverLiveItDown right of passage for female companions]] in the show.
158* In "Caerdroia", the Kro'ka tries to MindRape the Doctor. This is genuinely terrifying until the Kro'ka has penetrated all of the Doctor's mental barriers and ends up deep inside the Doctor's mental inner sanctum... where he promptly falls down the Doctor's nearby mental waterslide. It turns out the Doctor's screaming was all an act. The Doctor can't stop laughing at him.
159* "The Company of Friends"
160** "Benny's Story", which features Benny re-teaming up with the Eighth Doctor, manages to sneak in a sly reference to the end of ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoNewAdventuresTheDyingDays The Dying Days]]'', which ended with Benny snogging the Doctor before [[SexyDiscretionShot the scene "fades to black"]].
161---> '''Benny''': ... and at the end of that [adventure], he dropped me off back in my native time zone and we... erm... [[BadLiar shook hands and said goodbye]]!
162** "Fitz's Story" has a construct of the Doctor made, to the horror of the original, from a modified drinks dispenser:
163---> "Hello. I'm the Doctor. I get... rresults! GLGLGLGLGL"
164[[/folder]]
165
166[[AC:Other Eighth Doctor ranges]]
167
168[[folder:New Eighth Doctor Adventures]]
169
170* "Horror of Glam Rock" is a pretty funny Eight audio in general, but special props go to an exchange between the Doctor and Lucie. She wonders if there's something wrong with her, that she could still be hungry while people are being torn to pieces outside. He assures her it's perfectly okay... then steals her donut.
171** Also, there's the special glam-rock version of the theme song, which has to be heard to be believed. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1bctN3dGpo Yeah yeah yeaaaaah!]]
172* "Human Resources": Eight gets a great snarky comeback to the Cybermen:
173-->''You're telling me you don't recognize your archenemy? Surely I'm the most [[DeadpanSnarker arch]] enemy you've got!''
174* [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoNEDAS2E2MaxWarp "Max Warp"]] -- all of it. The entire episode is a massive, unapologetic TakeThat to ''Series/TopGearUK''. Space Richard Hammond [[BlackComedy violently dies in a crash live on air]] in the opening scene, Space Jeremy Clarkson is a complete and total dick in overly tight jeans, and Space James May is repeatedly told to "SHUT UP" by everybody. In the end, the show is re-tooled into a mellow discussion panel on engines and caravan holidays, which Lucie notes will probably be cancelled within a month.
175* [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoNEDAS2E3BraveNewTown "Brave New Town"]] certainly has its moments.
176-->'''The Doctor''': Think, Lucie, where does plastic come from?
177--> '''Lucie''': ...Taiwan!
178** Also, when Eight talks about the oil seeping out of the sand hundreds of years earlier, with Marco Polo even noting it, Lucie quips the following:
179-->'''Lucie:''' You mean the guy who invented the mint?
180-->'''The Doctor:''' ...I shall ignore that.
181* In "Orbis", Eight has been stranded without his TARDIS for six hundred years, and is ([[RunningGag once again]]) suffering from amnesia. Another time traveler grabs his former companion Lucie, thinking to use her as leverage against him, but he's forgotten who she is -- which, given that she thought he was dead and has spent the last six months mourning him, does not go over well. Her response? ''Bitch slap'' him while spelling her name out letter by letter. It works.
182[[/folder]]
183
184[[folder:Dark Eyes]]
185
186* "Master of the Daleks" is, overall, a dark and morbid setpiece where the Earth has been transformed into New Skaro, in an effort to engineer a new timeline. The Master and the Dalek Time Controller have just faced off, the Time Controller having been outwitted in almost every way, and the Master is about to enact his triumph. Cue the Doctor bursting in, followed by a massive party of Daleks and Sontarans fighting one another, completely derailing the Master's plan.
187** What really makes the above funnier is that the Master was expecting that the Doctor was going to try and stop his plan. The Doctor wasn't even aware the Master was there. The Doctor broadsided the Master, ''and he wasn't even trying to'' - the Oncoming Storm indeed. Doubles as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.
188** Liv quite rightly [[DeadpanSnarker observes]] that there's no way two beings with egos as large as The Master and The Dalek Time Controller could work together for long.
189-->"Do you two just stand around calling each other Master and Controller all day?"
190** And best of all is she's right, especially where the Daleks are concerned.
191-->"'''ANALYSIS OF PREVIOUS BEHAVIOUR PATTERNS OF THE MASTER INDICATES A 100% PROBABILITY OF BETRAYAL'''"
192** When Liv raises the possibility of the Daleks betraying him, the Master simply responds with a sarcasm-laced monologue, expressing surprise that “the most evil beings in the universe” would even ''think'' of killing him.
193--> "Oh, well, you can't trust anyone these days."
194[[/folder]]
195
196[[AC:Other ranges]]
197
198[[folder:Fourth Doctor Adventures]]
199* "The Dalek Contract": [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Cuth]][[TheQuisling bert]] asks a Dalek if it is seriously suggesting [[CharacterCatchphrase exterminating]] its prisoners. The Dalek's response?
200-->"[[TheComicallySerious WE ARE AL-WAYS SE-RI-OUS]]."
201* From "The Age of Sutekh", we have Leela [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu taunting]] Sutekh ([[OmnicidalManiac yes,]] [[SufficientlyAdvancedAlien THAT]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoS13E3PyramidsOfMars Sutekh]]) by calling him a "horse in a dress" and "horse face". She even asks him if he can trot like a horse! Doubles as an [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMoment awesome moment.]]
202[[/folder]]
203
204[[folder:Tenth Doctor Adventures]]
205* Donna calls the Koggnissenti's machine that causes brain degeneration the stupid machine in "Technophobia".
206** Before that, when driving a bulldozer, she runs over a parking meter.
207** "Doctor, stop ''saying'' "Dongle"."
208** The Doctor telling Donna the TARDIS doesn't "fizzle", followed by imitating the noise she makes when she dematerialises.
209* In "Death and the Queen," the Doctor is showing Donna the MonsterOfTheWeek:
210-->'''Donna''': Oh... that is one big cloud.
211-->'''Doctor''': Yeah. It's deadly.
212-->'''Donna''': How do you know?
213-->'''Cloud''': '''[[TheTelevisionTalksBack I BRING DEATH]]. THE PRICE MUST BE PAID. I BRING DEATH.'''
214-->'''Doctor''': See?
215** Really, the entire first half of "Death and the Queen" could count. And even several parts of the second half.
216*** Like the Doctor being an epic-level MomentKiller for Donna...
217*** Or Donna finding out about the hang-ups of being 18th century royalty...
218*** Or Donna meeting her future husband's {{Jerkass}} of a mother...
219*** Or Donna teaching her future subjects to read via Jackie Wilson books..
220*** Or the Doctor trying to impress upon the queen the situation by telling her to look out the window.
221--->'''Doctor:''' Not that one, obviously. Or that one. ... err. Do you have any windows in here that ''aren't'' stained?\
222'''Queen:''' Are you a window salesman as well?
223*** And back to Donna again, her defeating the villain with her undergarments.
224** The Doctor meeting Donna's new boyfriend:
225-->'''Doctor:''' Is that your boyfriend?
226-->'''Donna:''' Yep.
227-->'''Doctor:''' [[ItMakesSenseInContext Is he... shooting arrows at a cloud?]]
228-->'''Donna:''' ... yeah.
229** Donna's parting words to Rudolph? "Grow up and grow a pair."
230* "No Place", while quite scary sometimes, has a few amusing moments such as the "lovey-dovey" interactions between the Doctor and Donna. They have to pretend that they're married during the story and they sound ridiculously over the top in their pet names and their overly romantic tones of voice.!
231!Tenth Doctor Classic Companions
232* The trailer for the box set reveals that Leela, who is grey haired now, ''arms herself with a giant gardening trowel'' when something calls The Spridgen attacks the children of the planet she's on.

240* In "The Magician's Oath", Mike Yates describes entering an abandoned house.
241-->'''Mike:''' Either no one was at home, or they just weren't answering. So I found my own way in.
242-->''(Sound of breaking glass)''
243-->'''Mike:''' That's part of the training.
244* [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoCCS7E9TheScorchies "The Scorchies"]] has [[LaughablyEvil laughably]] [[OmnicidalManiac genocidal]] [[HandPuppet puppets]] pose as a villains so this is pretty much granted.
245** Firstly Jo gives us the great summary of Letts-Dicks era.
246---> ''[Government] made it the Brigadier's problem and he lost no time in making it the Doctor's problem''
247** This bit by Jo:
248--->If you're watching at home - Wake up ! You must change the channel. Even if it's Series/Space1999, just this once it's worth it."
249** How do Scorchies announce that Doctor is dead? [[https://youtu.be/7NkR14DVssA?si=uz0jjAmwuNZbo3aI Well by merry song, of course.]]
250* [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoCCS5E3FindAndReplace "Find and replace"]] has Jo Grant and Iris Wildthyme ([[ActingForTwo both]] being voiced by Creator/KatyManning) brought together by Huxley, the alien novelizer in attempt to alter both of their memories so they would remember working together in the seventhies (or was is the eighties?). Iris then proceeds to distract by her [[BlatantLies stories]] leaving Jo to wonder what ''marvelous subtle'' plan is Iris working on. Cue Iris screaming and tackling Huxley down.
251** Huxley being a novelizer spend most of the audio by [[CharacterNarrator narrating the events in real time.]]
252--->'''Huxley:''' [the Doctor] glared at Huxley and told him (''as the Doctor'') That's enough now, old chap. You can stop interfering now. The ladies have heard enough from you, no really you can stop talking now!
253--->'''Huxley:''' But that moment, novelizer Huxley noticed at the corner of his eye the Wildthyme who was in advance to him stealthily with her atomizer before he even knew it she given him a quick squirt of all that was left of her soporific [-oh no-] (sound of shattered glass as [[InstantSedation Huxley drops unconsious.)]]

258* [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoTEAS6E2DaughterOfTheGods "Daughter of the Gods"]] sees Second Doctor meeting the first Doctor in the middle of the dalek invasion so naturaly we can see the [[OtherMeAnnoysMe usual]] [[SarcasmMode civility]]
259-->'''Second Doctor:''' I'm telling you I've never been to Urbania before
260-->'''[[YoungerThanTheyLook First Doctor:]]''' Then you must be loosing memory in your old age.
261** Later both of them are being captured by the daleks
262--->'''Dalek:''' (to Second Doctor) ARE YOU AN AS-SO-SI-ATE OF THE DOC-TOR?
263--->'''First Doctor:''' No!
264--->'''Second Doctor:''''' (at the same time)'' Yes!
265--->''({{Beat}} )''
266--->'''First Doctor: ''' Yes!
267--->'''Second Doctor:''' '' (at the same time)'' No!
268** And later the daleks make a scan and find out that [[TheNThDoctor both]] of them are the Doctor
269--->'''Dalek: ''' YOU ARE BOTH THE SAME.
270---> '''Doctors''' (in unison) No we are not!
271--->'''Second Doctor:''' I have never been so insulted in all my life!
272--->'''First Doctor:''' [[TimeyWimeyBall Yes you have]] you scruffy old derelict.

275[[folder:Gallifrey]]
276* The audio drama ''Disassembled'' reveals that, after the then-current personal assassin of Time Lord President Pandad VII unwisely and very loudly stated how much he'd like to kill Irving Braxiatel, he suffered from a fatal accident that very day with some electrical equipment. The inquiry (headed by Brax) concluded that it had been a regrettable accident, one-in-a-million chance, with no one really responsible. Furious at Brax, Pandad VII immediately named him his new assassin and ordered him to wipe "[[Franchise/DoctorWho "an old man and his granddaughter]]", nobody really important, just some of Brax's family, from history. The very same day, the old man and his granddaughter stole a TARDIS and [[WhereItAllBegan fled after being mysteriously warned off]] and Pandad suffered from a fatal accident that very day with some electrical equipment; an inquiry concluded that it had been a regrettable accident, one-in-a-million chance, with no one really responsible. [[TheCoronerDothProtestTooMuch And Brax should know - he headed that inquiry]]. Apparently, getting out of sticky situations ''and'' causing a mess ''and'' hiding that you ''created said mess in the first place'' actually ''does'' run in the Doctor's family...

280[[folder:The Diary of River Song]]
281* In "The Bekdel Test" from series 5, we have the meeting between River Song and Missy. As one can expect, it is ''rife'' with comedic moments!
282** First, we have Missy telling River that thanks to her, she's the last Time Lord:
283-->'''Missy:''' I am the last of the Time Lords, which also makes me the best one. ''They'' all got themselves killed. ''I'' didn't, so I am ''officially'' the winner. Yay me!
284** Then we have Missy's obvious jealousy and annoyance over the fact that River was able to kill the Doctor when she never could:
285-->'''Missy:''' You see, you've just done the thing I never quite managed to do...
286-->'''River:''' And what's that?
287-->'''Missy:''' You killed the Doctor!
288-->'''River:''' Yes... And I'll never forgive myself for it.
289-->'''Missy:''' Oh, don't be so hard on yourself dearie... I'll never forgive you for it, either.
290-->'''River:''' What?
291-->'''Missy:''' ''(in a pouty voice)'' I wanted to do that!
292** Then, as they're discussing what actually happened with the fixed point in time:
293-->'''Missy:''' And you just had to play your part? I see. [[BorrowedCatchphrase Wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey.]]
294-->'''River:''' ''Please'' don't say that...
295** Then as they're talking about how River actually killed the Doctor:
296-->'''Missy:''' I've lost count of the number of times I've been killed and come back to life. ''(scoffs)'' I'm joking, of course. I've kept count. ''Eighty-five'' times.
297** Then, shortly afterwards, we have this amusing [[ContinuityNod callback]] to [[Recap/DoctorWhoS21E5PlanetOfFire Planet of Fire:]]
298-->'''River:''' I can assure you he was dead. And we placed his body on a funeral pyre and burnt it until only ashes remained.
299-->'''Missy:''' Yes, and ''[[CoughSnarkCough (begins coughing)]]'' there's no way ''(coughs again)'' anyone could ''(coughs yet again)'' come back from ''(coughs some more)'' THAT! ''(finishes coughing)''
300-->'''River:''' Would you like some water?
301** Finally, we have River trying to guess who Missy is:
302-->'''Missy:''' [[Recap/DoctorWho20thASTheFiveDoctors A universe without the Doctor scarcely bears thinking about...]]
303-->'''River:''' Aha! I know who you are!
304-->'''Missy:''' At last! Takes half an eternity but you get there in the end.
305-->'''River:''' A fellow Time Lord! The Doctor's first crush at the academy! Yes, he told me about you!
306-->'''Missy:''' Nothing ''good,'' I hope?
307-->'''River:''' No, nothing good. And he told me you were dead.
308-->'''Missy:''' Yes. Mm-hm, yep. He's made that mistake before. Eighty-five times.
309-->'''River:''' A self-proclaimed designation which is assumed to be an alias. Oh, I should've guessed straight away.
310-->'''Missy:''' Yes. Yep, you're right, it's me.
311-->'''River:''' The ''[[BaitAndSwitch Rani!]]''
312-->'''Missy:''' ...what?
313-->'''River:''' The Rani! The Doctor's old friend from the academy!
314-->'''Missy:''' ''What?!''
315-->'''River:''' You said you were a Time Lord. Who else could you be? Oh... You're not Romana, are you?
316-->'''Missy:''' No. I am not ''Romana.''
317-->'''River:''' So you MUST be the Rani! Unless ''(gasps),'' oh...
318-->'''Missy:''' Do I hear the soft tinkle of a penny dropping?
319-->'''River:''' But, if you're... Well, you're not ''quite'' as the Doctor described.
320-->'''Missy:''' No?
321-->'''River:''' No. He said you were a man, for a start.
322-->'''Missy:''' Oh, that. Yes. It's not really a big change though, is it? Although I have found I'm more of a hat person now. I mean ''(chuckles),'' you'd think it would be shoes, but no, suddenly I'm all about the hats.
323-->'''River:''' So what do you call yourself now? I mean, you can't really keep calling yourself the Monk.
324-->'''Missy:''' Well, I- The Monk? The ''Monk?!'' Right that's it. I'm gonna pull your head off, right here right now. C'mon.
325** The best part of the entire conversation is the fact that it's not made entirely clear if River was just screwing around with Missy or she ''genuinely'' didn't know who she was! It's also quite amusing that Big Finish added little nods to the Doctor Who fandom who sometimes guessed that Missy was the Rani and Romana before she revealed herself as the Master.

337* "The Maltese Penguin": Frobisher spends almost the entire episode shapeshifted into the Sixth Doctor. Including his voice. This leads to Creator/ColinBaker impersonating Robert Jezek playing Frobisher pretending to be the Doctor. It is ''completely glorious''.
338* At the start of "Trial of the Valeyard", the Sixth Doctor finds himself back at the space station from "Trial of a Time Lord" and meets the same inquisitor. He then spends several minutes ranting about how he saved Gallifrey many times and that the Time Lords should show some gratitude...and is then informed that he isn't the one on trial.

341* There are two main reasons why the Creator/BigFinish remake of "[[MissingEpisode Shada]]" belongs on this page. The first is that the script is by Creator/DouglasAdams. The second is the fabulous HamToHamCombat between Creator/PaulMcGann's Doctor, and the outrageously campy [[BigBad Skagra]], as played by [[Series/FawltyTowers Andrew Sachs]]. Consider this scene where Skagra is forcing the Doctor to read the ''[[TomeOfEldritchLore Ancient And Worshipful Law of Gallifrey]]'':
342-->'''Doctor:''' [[SpeakingSimlish Hrrrt, zubbit, zubbit. Gidge-uh-gidge-uh-gidge-uh, ca-caw! Ca-caw!]]--\
343'''Skagra:''' Doctor...\
344'''Doctor:''' Hold on, here's the good stuff. Nuganuga, Hwah, hwah -- Of course you realise, I'm paraphrasing.\
345'''Skagra:''' ''Doc''tor...\
346'''Doctor:''' Skagra, you realise this book doesn't make one bit of sense?\
347'''Skagra:''' Doctor, a fool would realise that this book was written in code!\
348'''Doctor:''' ''Skagra!!''\
349'''Skagra:''' '''WHAT?'''\
350'''Doctor:''' This book's written in ''code!''\

354'''Doctor:''' What book?\

366-->'''The Seventh Doctor:''' I've been in your life thirty seconds and already I've made it miserable!
367[[AC:Other]]
368* "[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoSpecialsTheLightAtTheEnd The Light at the End]]": Although the events of the story are retconned and no one remembers it, Eight still feels the need to check on the Dovie family. Which is [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments sweet,]] but it turns out ''all'' the Doctors had the same idea, and by the time Eight and Charley arrive, Mr. Dovie is thoroughly sick of weirdos knocking on his door to ask if everything's all right.

371[[folder:The Lost Stories]]
372[[AC:First Doctor]]
373* "Farewell, Great Macedon" (based on an unproduced script from the First Doctor era) has this scene when the Tardis crew are accused of killing Alexander's friends (partially extrapolated from indirect speech):
374-->'''Alexander''': I cannot close my eyes to Antipater's argument, for it is true that since your arrival, three deaths have occurred. Nor can I ignore the way you have fought off the accusations like truly innocent men. Therefore, I have decided to compromise. I will punish only one of you. You are to die, Ian.\
375'''Susan''': No, you can't do that!\
376'''The Doctor''': I won't allow it, young man!\
377'''Barbara''': If Ian is to die, [[GoThroughMe then I will die with him]]!\
378'''Susan''': And so will I! And so will Grandfather!\
379'''The Doctor''': Now, just a second, child... er... oh very well then. We'll all die together.
380** William Russell's performance as the Doctor here is priceless.
