I just love it that is all

OK, so the versions of "Shada" I've experienced are the original BBC reconstruction with Tom Baker's linking bits that some people think were the first appearance of the Curator, the Eighth Doctor cartoon version, and the novelisation.

And I was enjoying the live-action version, until we hit the only scene they managed to film with a Krarg, and I thought it was an absolutely disastrous monster, on a par with the Nimon or the Myrka.

I suspect that while after cancellation everyone thought it would have been a superb story that would have raised the reputation of S17 as a whole, if it had been completed it would have been thought of more along the style of "The Stones of Blood" -- a story with an excellent, atmospheric first half set on contemporary Earth, but which fell a bit flat when it moved into embarrassingly silly and low-budget space opera.

Was just watching 'The Gunfighters' and got a kick out of the Doctor introducing himself with a fake name, being asked, "Doctor who?' and replying 'Quite right!'

I always enjoyed this joke in the 11th Doctor era, and of course Missy's take on it and the TARDIS team dynamic

I wonder if there's some compilation of all the jokes on the title of the show. Anyway, share your favorite 'Doctor who?' moments plz!

My examples:

The explanation that the TARDIS translates languages for the companions was never said explicitly until 2005.

The Doctor never met any historical figures in Series 9 or 10 of New Who.

The era of just the 4th Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith travelling together only lasted one year.

The Daleks are confirmed extinct at the end of their very first episode. Later episodes simply ignore this with timey-wimey explanations.

The Doctor has smoked multiple times in the show, for example in "An Unearthly Child" and "The Talons Of Weng-Chiang"

The 3rd Doctor only said "Reverse The Polarity of The Neutron Flow" once in his original era.

The Doctor doesn't visit any alien planets on-screen in Series 1 of New Who.

There's a scene where Aziraphale uses a piece of Doctor Who memorabilia as an incentive for a shop owner in Season 2. Job is also played by Pete Davison (the actor for the Fifth Doctor and David Tennant's father-in-law). Derek Jacobi, Michael Sheen and numerous other actors who have appeared in Doctor Who are also in the show. The number plate for the Youngs' car is SIDRAT (Tardis backwards and the space-time vessel utilised by the War Lords in the Second Doctor story The War Games).

Sorry if it's been covered before. Ive been a whovian since e the reboot, seen that special a hundred times. The going trend is to tell a reactor to look away as soon as they see Matt Smith, and not look back until they hear a soldier tell "attention!" While the scene is funny in a Moffat style, I can't see any4hing spoilery, fun, or "aha". Any help?

EDIT:::: OK, thanks for the immediately amazing answers. I am oblivious to credits, and that wouldn't have clicked in 4 regenerations. Much love to the fans out there.

EDIT 2: I'm so happy to see the nuances in these responses. Youbare awesome.

Gallifery Stands.

Does anyone have any good videos that have all of the Leitmotifs in New Who and which character each one goes to? I really want to know what each Leitmotif means and who it corresponds to,
