Episode Quotes
Professor Litefoot: The sheer criminal effrontery. Things are coming to a pretty pass when ruffians will attack a man in his own home.
The Doctor: Well, they were Chinese ruffians.
The Doctor: Well, they were Chinese ruffians.
Professor Litefoot: Haven’t you slept?
The Doctor: Sleep is for tortoises.
The Doctor: Sleep is for tortoises.
The Doctor: He's a blackguard!
Professor Litefoot: Who?
The Doctor: I don't know who's the blackguard, but if some slavering vampire comes out of the sewers stalks this city at night, he's a blackguard!
Professor Litefoot: Who?
The Doctor: I don't know who's the blackguard, but if some slavering vampire comes out of the sewers stalks this city at night, he's a blackguard!
Professor Litefoot: I think this entire enterprise is rash and ill-considered.
The Doctor: My dear Litefoot, I've got a lantern, a pair of waders, and possibly the most fearsome piece of hand artillery in all England. What could possibly go wrong?
Professor Litefoot: Well, that for a start. It hasn't been fired for 50 years. If you try to use it it'll probably explode in your face.
The Doctor: Explode? Unthinkable – it was made in Birmingham!
