Season 8 Quotes

08x03 - Terror of the Autons, Episode Three Season 8 / Episode 3: - Terror of the Autons, Episode Three

Rex Farrel: Colonel, the Autons that were sent to recover the bodies of the Doctor and the girl...
The Master: Have returned without them. I know.
Rex Farrel: And you're not angry?
The Master: Because the Doctor's escaped again? No. He's an interesting adversary. I admire him in many ways.
Rex Farrel: But you still intend to destroy him?
The Master: Of course. And the more he struggles to postpone the moment, the greater the ultimate satisfaction.
08x01 - Terror of the Autons, Episode One Season 8 / Episode 1: - Terror of the Autons, Episode One

Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart: You've been agitating for a new assistant ever since Miss Shaw went back to Cambridge.
Doctor Who: Liz was a highly qualified scientist. I want someone with the same qualifications.
Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart: Nonsense. What you need, Doctor, as Miss Shaw herself so often remarked, is someone to pass you your test tubes and to tell you how brilliant you are. Miss Grant will fulfil that function admirably.
