Episode Notes
 
Date: September 2006
Location: Cardiff, Wales
 
The Bad Wolf reference in this episode is: The name of the nuclear project is Blaidd Drwg; which is Welsh for Bad Wolf
 
This is the first episode in which the "bad wolf" phenomenon is referred to in dialogue.
 
William Thomas (Mr. Cleaver) previously played Martin in the original Doctor Who episode "Remembrance of the Daleks". He was therefore the first actor to appear in both the original series and the revival.
 
 
Episode Quotes
 
Jack: Ah, sweet. Look at those two. Why don't I ever get any of that?
The Doctor: Buy me a drink first.
Jack: You're such hard work.
The Doctor: But worth it.
 
Mickey Smith: I don't mind you hanging out with big ears up there...
The Doctor: Oi!
Mickey Smith: Look in a mirror.
 
Margaret Blaine: He slipped on an icy patch.
Cathy Salt: He was decapitated.
Margaret Blaine: It was a very icy patch.
 
Margaret: This is persecution. Why can't you leave me alone? What did I ever do to you?
The Doctor: You tried to kill me and destroy this entire planet.
Margaret: Apart from that?
 
Margaret Blaine: London doesn't care. The South Wales coast could fall into the sea and they wouldn't notice...Oh! I sound like a Welshman. God help me, I've gone native.
 
Margaret: This is the technology o the gods.
The Doctor: Don't worship me, I'd make a very bad god. You wouldn't get a day off, for starters.
 
The Doctor: You've been in that skin-suit too long. You've forgotten. There used to be a real Margaret Blaine. You killed her, and stripped her, and used the skin. You're pleading for mercy out of a dead woman's lips.
 
The Doctor: (to Margaret Blaine) It's not just any old power source - it's the TARDIS! My TARDIS - the best ship in the universe...The heart of the TARDIS...This ship's alive. You've opened its soul.
