'Fantastic' Quotes from "Doctor Who" Quiz

Answer: An alien transmitter

While the Doctor kept running into Rose, he seemed ambivalent about her actual worth. Pointing out that the alien transmitter was hidden in the Ferris wheel was just the beginning of other 'fantastic' ways she aided the Doctor in that episode. She also saved his life as he was held captive by the living plastic. Using her 'fantastic' gymnastic skills, she kicked the one guard holding the anti-plastic into the Nestene consciousness.

He conceded after the fact that he did indeed owed her his life and asked her to come along.

Answer: In what way is that fantastic?

The Doctor had learned that Platform One was completely controlled by the computer and had no captain. The facility was completely automatic and the top of the Alpha class of ships. The Doctor could not help but make a comparison to the not so 'fantastic' Titanic, mentioning that he was left clinging to an iceberg during that incident.

There was no chance of any assistance or rescue if something went wrong. Only the Doctor could find that situation 'fantastic'. Jabe apparently did not. Fortunately they had the Doctor to track down what was happening to the engines of the ship.

Answer: A Charles Dickens reading

Charles Dickens was doing a dramatic reading of "A Christmas Carol". He had just come to the part with Marley's ghost when he saw a woman who appeared possessed. The dead body gave up the spirit and raced about. The Doctor and Rose came running when they heard the screams.

When Rose was kidnapped by Mr. Sneed, the Doctor joined forces with Charles. He taught the writer the modern definition to the word, 'fan' and learned that he couldn't accept criticism. Before departing onto to their next adventure, the Doctor told Dickens that it had been 'fantastic' meeting him.

Answer: A crash landing in the Thames

An alien ship crashed through Big Ben and into the Thames River. Ironically, this came shortly after Rose stating that no one on earth understood her alien experiences. While the Doctor was thrilled by this historical event in earth's history, he was stuck behind the crowd control lines.

He and Rose ended up following the story on the television before he became impatient and traveled to Albion Hospital. At the hospital, he discovered that the aliens had used a pig's body to fake the crash landing.

Answer: A Dalek

If the ninth Doctor is tied to the word, 'fantastic,' then the Daleks are tied to the word, 'exterminate'. This lonely Dalek was one of the last survivors of the Time War. As soon as it identified the Doctor, it went into exterminate mode, but its lack of power kept it from exterminating.

After realizing how 'fantastic' this was, the Doctor attempted to exterminate the Dalek. Later the Dalek fooled Rose into touching its shell and fed off her biomass. This gave it the power to go on an exterminating rampage.

This episode was titled, "Dalek".

Answer: The fourth great and bountiful human empire

The TARDIS had landed on Satellite 5, a news broadcasting station. While Rose and Adam gawked at what they considered 'fantastic' technology, the Doctor seemed more worried as he realized that the technology was about a hundred years behind what it should be. Rose kidded that the Doctor's history was off, but he insisted that his history was perfect. Later, the Doctor and Rose learned that the mighty Jagrafess was in control, manipulating the humans on earth with the wording in the news.

Answer: A mobile phone battery

The Doctor needed a battery to help charge the key up. The mobile phone battery was huge for the 1987 era from which it was produced. Time was in danger as Rose had saved her father, Pete Tyler, when he was supposed to have died. Reapers had come to seal the wound, and they had seemingly taken the Doctor's TARDIS.

The Doctor told Rose that retrieving the TARDIS was the only way, but there was another one. The alternative required the cost of Peter Tyler's life.

Answer: Captain Jack kept the bomb from exploding in London.

"Everybody lives, Rose. Just this once!" This Doctor Who story was unique for having no lives lost. Naturally everything was 'fantastic' from the Doctor who had seen the loss of many lives. Captain Jack Harkness, a new acquaintance and former time agent, had rescued everyone from a German bomb. Rose reminded the Doctor after his victory that they still needed to save Jack. Transporting the TARDIS onto Jack's ship, they saved him from the bomb exploding in his ship.

Answer: Via hologram

Realizing that they may die, the Doctor tricked Rose into the TARDIS and ran out again. He knew that he had to stay to try and save the day. He would most likely die, but he wanted Rose safe. He had promised to keep her safe. He initiated Emergency Program One.

In the hologram, he explained that the TARDIS needed to die and be forgotten. If she wanted to remember him, he wanted her to have a good life, a 'fantastic' life.

Answer: Rose and himself

For his last words, the ninth Doctor told Rose, "Rose, before I go I just wanna tell you, you were fantastic, absolutely fantastic, and d'you know what? So was I." The ninth Doctor had been plagued with survivor's guilt throughout his regeneration, but he redeemed himself in the end. Rose had shone as she finished the Time War, but the Doctor had to sacrifice his life to save Rose. Also before he regenerated, the Doctor mentioned that the planet Barcelona was a 'fantastic' place that had dogs with no noses.
