When I went back and watched a couple of the older 'Doc

When I went back and watched a couple of the older ‘Doctor Who’ episodes, I could see why some people felt the show had been quite sexist.

Ashley Walters
The marvelous thing about ‘Doctor Who’ is that it tells stories that no one else can tell.
Russell T Davies
I’ve tried to start my kids on ‘Doctor Who,’ but they’re just not there yet. Someone had given me these TARDIS stick-em notes, so I gave them to Tucker, and he finally put them all over his locker. I’m like, ‘You’re the coolest fifth grader, ever!’
Kristian Bush
On ‘Love Actually,’ I met Hugh Grant, who is a relative: our great-grandmothers were sisters. He’d call me cousin and ruffle my hair. And it was brilliant working with David Tennant on ‘Doctor Who.’
Thomas Brodie-Sangster
As a doctor who took care of patients for 25 years, I saw the problems with America’s health care system every day.
John Barrasso
I used to watch ‘Doctor Who’ as a child with William Hartnell and Pat Troughton in the black-and-white days, so being cast is brilliant.
Bradley Walsh
I can go on for hours about how ‘Doctor Who’ is a portal fantasy writ across the stars, how the companions are falling down the rabbit hole over and over again forever, tumbling head over heels into mystery. Hours.
Seanan McGuire
‘Doctor Who’ is one of those things that stays with you throughout your career, and I’m very happy with that.
Sophie Aldred
I’ve watched ‘Doctor Who’ since I was a kid. I loved it, and I still love it. I can geek out about it, like when I go to set and see the TARDIS.
Richard Madden
We have ‘Doctor Who’ references on ‘Futurama,’ but we have a lot of science fiction references that I don’t get; but in the staff we have experts on ‘Star Trek,’ ‘Star Wars,’ ‘Doctor Who’ and ‘Dungeons and Dragons.’
Matt Groening
I was really so excited when it came back on air and I saw all three of the actors who played ‘Doctor Who’ in the new version and they’ve all been absolutely brilliant in their own special way, as all the Doctors always are.
Sophie Aldred
What I’ve found I really like about sci-fi is it can look at philosophical questions about humanity but in a different context. It can really make you think. That’s what ‘Doctor Who’ does, even if it’s a bit silly some other times.
Sarah Snook
I’ll be the first to admit it – after the first episode, I wasn’t sold on Peter Capaldi as the new Doctor of ‘Doctor Who,’ with the bewildered Clara following behind like a lost puppy, haphazardly flinging aggression around like cream pies in a ‘Three Stooges’ marathon.
Rob Manuel
Every viewer who ever turned on ‘Doctor Who’ has taken him into his heart. He belongs to all of us.
Peter Capaldi
I am a massive ‘Doctor Who’ fan, and my favourite doctor was David Tennant, so if we could go back in time to that era and I could be somewhere in the background, that would be great. I would even stick myself inside a Dalek just to be there.
Scarlett Moffatt
I love ‘Doctor Who.’
Richard Madden
I have such fond memories of watching ‘Doctor Who’ when I was a kid and growing up, that if I’ve left anybody anywhere with memories as fond, then I feel like I’ve done my job.
David Tennant
The range of ‘Doctor Who’ is, I would argue, bigger than the range of any other television program or movie franchise.
Chris Chibnall
I think you can tell different types of stories within a ‘Doctor Who’ two-parter.
Chris Chibnall
If you put a much older woman in ‘Doctor Who,’ they can identify with it. I think it’s quite an interesting concept, and if you remember things like ‘Grimm’s Fairytales,’ the older woman is often the villainess, often the terrifying figure – why I do not know, but often she is. I think it’s an idea to be exploited.
Kate O’Mara
There’s still a part of me that believes what was great about ‘Doctor Who’ in the early days was that you had a superhero who didn’t wear his underpants on the outside of his trousers, who used his brain rather than his brawn.
Sylvester McCoy
It would be extraordinary if the BBC were to make me the first black ‘Doctor Who;’ it would be extraordinary.
David Harewood
Above all else, ‘Doctor Who’ still seems to me to offer near-infinite scope for the writer. It must be the least constraining of televisual properties.
Alastair Reynolds
I always liked ‘Doctor Who’ but I wasn’t a crazed fan when I was a kid.
Daniel Mays
‘Doctor Who’ is not as literary as ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit’ is – books have come out, but they are from the television episodes. So there is that difference… it’s more scholastic.
Sylvester McCoy
Filming ‘Doctor Who’ is so incredibly different to ‘Spooks.’ Near to the surface, there’s quite a silly atmosphere. A lot of the times, you’re on the verge of giggles because it’s so over the top.
Miranda Raison
The storytelling in ‘Doctor Who’ is quite universal.
Matt Smith
There’s never been a doctor who served many patients who, despite their best efforts, did not lose some of them to death. But they understood that was part of life itself.

Clive Standen

Tom Baker
I’m really not an actor of any kind. I’ve always seen myself as an entertainer, someone who makes people laugh. That’s all I’ve ever wanted to do. ‘Doctor Who’ has always just been me, really.
Tom Baker
I love ‘The Wire’. I can’t think of a television show that I think is superior to it in any way. I was obsessed with it from the moment it came on the air. I do also love ‘Doctor Who’ and ‘Get Smart’.
Lisa Lutz
I think it’s always exciting when ‘Doctor Who’ touches its past.
Peter Capaldi
There’s no doubt in the world that I am the biggest ‘Doctor Who’ fan.
Dean Devlin
I wanted to be a surgeon, possibly influenced by the qualities of our family doctor who cared for our childhood ailments.
Joseph Murray
I’m an actor. If you had said to me before I started acting that I’d get two bites of the cherry – you would do things that people will remember forever like ‘The Brothers’ which I did in the ’70s and now ‘Doctor Who’ – I’d have been overjoyed and I still am.
Colin Baker
I’m incredibly excited to be joining the ‘Doctor Who’ family. It’s such an extraordinary British institution, I couldn’t be prouder to call the TARDIS my home.
Pearl Mackie
If I could film, we’d film every episode of ‘Doctor Who’ in New York. I have an affinity with the city. It has some wonderful locations and it is devastatingly vast and huge. Central Park looks amazing on camera.
Matt Smith
When I was nine, I found a copy of ‘Doctor Who: the Making of a Television Series’ in the school library. It had a picture of Peter Davison on the front, and it was a formative book for me. It explained all the different departments like the script, cameras, and sets and explained how a television show is put together.
Mike Bartlett
It’s hard work, ‘Doctor Who,’ but let’s be frank about it, I’m fortunate to be rewarded in the ways that I am. I don’t just mean financially, I mean the nature of the part and everything that comes with it.
Matt Smith
I love ‘Doctor Who’ as a big, popular, mainstream, accessible show.

The doctor who diagnosed me with ALS, or motor neuron disease, told me that it would kill me in two or three years.
Stephen Hawking
I like that totally mixed up kind of eclectic group of personal props and bits of costume and I think the fun of doing that is where I was very lucky with Doctor Who.
Lalla Ward
But I think whenever you’re bringing in a new Doctor, you have to set it up in a really great way because it’s an entry point for a whole audience. Because the audience of ‘Doctor Who’ is everyone from eight to 108, life is continually creating new viewers.
Chris Chibnall
In an ideal world, ‘Doctor Who’ makes the whole nation eight years old, with that excitement and engagement and wide-eyedness.
Chris Chibnall
I love a ‘Doctor Who’ cliffhanger.
Chris Chibnall

Matt Smith
I’m over the moon to be involved in the ‘Doctor Who’ Christmas special. I can’t quite believe it as it’s a part of the family tradition at the Jenkins household. I heard the news that I got the role on my 30th birthday and it was the best birthday present ever.
Katherine Jenkins
‘Doctor Who’ is really challenging and fulfilling on so many levels.
Alex Kingston
Someone like David Tennant is able to embrace people’s love for ‘Doctor Who’ in a totally positive way. I have huge admiration for people who are able to do that.

To be honest, ‘Doctor Who’ fans are a mixture of crazies plus solid citizens, but they’re relentless.
Alex Kingston
‘Doctor Who’ is the most original science-fiction television series ever made. It is also one of the longest-running television shows of all time.
Jill Lepore
The most watched programme on the BBC, after the news, is probably ‘Doctor Who.’ What has happened is that science fiction has been subsumed into modern literature. There are grandparents out there who speak Klingon, who are quite capable of holding down a job. No one would think twice now about a parallel universe.
Terry Pratchett
