'Playing Doctor Who came as a great surprise to me. I had no idea that I would enjoy it so much. All that was required of me was to be able to speak complete gobbledygook with conviction.'

'Not everybody knows that looking at people in 'a funny way' is the commonest cause of sudden murder. I happen to know that because I read a Home Office brochure once.'

From LB;
'Britain, or scum, as we are affectionately known abroad.'

'Thank the Lord, who incidentally is British, for the great things he has brought to this land. Take-a-break, Spearmint Rhino and Finders crispy pancakes.'

'Everybody is welcome in Britain, we are open 9 till 6, Monday to Saturday. No foreign gentlemen please.'
"The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends.'
Albert Einstein

Teeth and curls! My second favourite classic regeneration.
"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

I liked his turn as the legless ship captain (with beard) in Blackadder.
