Celebrating the Series: The Vampires of Venice

The Vampires of Venice saw the return of Rory and many of you loved the scene where the Doctor bursts back into his life. It contained Zoe's favourite moment of the episode, which she told us was, 'The Doctor jumping out of the cake at Rory's stag. And the right one this time! Hm. I wonder what happened all the other times he jumped out of the wrong cake?'

Not sure about that, but presumably he got his just deserts..? Rory's return scored highly with many of you, with Leah saying, 'My favourite part (of the series) was in The Vampires of Venice... Rory and the Doctor break in at night to the school and it's dark - Rory says 'Good job I brought this,' and pulls out a mini-torch. The Doctor whips out a huge 'portable sunlight' torch. Rory then says, 'Yours is bigger than mine,' (and the Doctor replies) 'Let's not get into that!''

Maria also enjoyed the moments of humour in the adventure, emailing us, 'The Vampires of Venice was a super funny episode - especially the fight between Rory and Francesco! The Doctor saves them once again! Well done!!'

Katie C provided this thoughtful reflection... no pun intended! 'The Vampires of Venice was a fantastic episode. I loved seeing more of Rory, and seeing him and the Doctor clash over Amy, however much the Doctor tried to avoid it... Then there was the part when Amy said that the Rory can pose as her brother, because it'd be too weird for him to be her fiancé. But when the Doctor offers, she says he can be her fiancé. It really showed how Amy feels about the Doctor, and poses a problem for Rory, now that Amy has her raggedy Doctor back. I also LOVED the part when Rory told the Doctor that he makes people dangerous to themselves when they're around him, always trying to impress him. Rory put it brilliantly, and it's so true. You can see it in all of the Doctor's companions, and even in people who barely know him, who have only crossed paths with him momentarily.'

Dr who quotes Daleks Bad wolf and parting of the ways

Dalek #1: Alert! Alert! We are detected!
Dalek #2: It is the Doctor! He has located us!
Dalek: I will talk to the Doctor.
The Doctor: Oh, will you? That's nice. Hello!
Dalek: The Dalek Stratagem nears completion. The Fleet is almost ready. You will not intervene.
The Doctor: Oh, really? Why's that then?
Dalek: We have your associate. You will obey or she will be exterminated.
The Doctor: No.
Dalek: Explain yourself.
The Doctor: I said 'no'.
Dalek: What is the meaning of this negative?
The Doctor: It means 'no'.
Dalek: But she will be destroyed!
The Doctor: No! 'Cause this is what I'm gonna do - I'm gonna rescue her. I'm gonna save Rose Tyler from the middle of the Dalek Fleet, and then I'm gonna save the Earth, and then just to finish off, I'm gonna wipe every last stinking Dalek outta the sky!
Dalek: But you have no weapons! No defences! No plan!
The Doctor: Yeah. And doesn't that scare you to death!
Dalek #1: The Doctor is initiating hostile action!
Dalek #2: The Stratagem must advance. Begin the invasion of Earth!
Dalek #3: The Doctor will be exterminated!
Daleks: Exterminate!
Daleks: Exterminate! Exterminate! EXTERMINATE!!!
Dalek #1: You know The Doctor. You understand him. You will predict his actions.
Rose: I don't know! And even if I did I wouldn't t-tell you.
Dalek #1: Predict. Predict! PREDICT!
Dalek #2: TARDIS detected. In flight.
Dalek #1: Launch missiles!
Dalek #2: Exterminate!
Rose: You can't! That TARDIS doesn't have any defences! You're gonna kill him!
Dalek #1: You have predicted correctly.
Daleks: Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!
 The Doctor: Is that it? Useless! Nul points.
The Doctor: How did you survive the Time War?
Dalek Emperor: They survived through me.
The Doctor: Rose... Captain, this is The Emperor of the Daleks.
Dalek Emperor: You destroyed us Doctor! The Dalek race died in your inferno, but my ship survived, falling through time. Crippled, but alive!
The Doctor: I get it
Dalek #1: Do not interrupt!
Dalek #2: Do not interrupt!
Dalek #3: Do not interrupt!
The Doctor: I think you are forgetting something, I'm The Doctor, and if there is one thing I can do, it's talk. I've got 5 billion languages and you haven't got one way of stopping me, so if anyone is going to shut up, IT'S YOU! Okey Doke, so... Where were we?
Dalek Emperor: We waited here, in the dark space... Damaged but rebuilding. Centuries passed and we quietly infiltrated the systems of Earth. Harvesting the waste of humanity, the prisoners, the refugees, the dispossessed, they all came to us. The bodies were phillited, pulped, sifted, the seed of the Human race is perverted, only one cell in a billion was fit to be nurtured!
The Doctor: So, you created an army of Daleks out of the dead.
Rose: That makes them... half human.
The Dalek Emperor: Those words are blasphemy!
Dalek #1: Do not blaspheme!
Dalek #2: Do not blaspheme!
Dalek #3: Do not blaspheme!
Dalek Emperor: Everything human has been purged, I cultivated pure and blessed Dalek!
The Doctor: Since when did the Daleks have a concept of Blasphemy?
Dalek Emperor: I reached into the dirt and gave new life, I am the God of all Daleks!
All Daleks: WORSHIP HIM! WORSHIP HIM! WORSHIP HIM!
The Doctor: ...They're insane. Hiding in silence for hundreds of years, that's enough to drive anyone mad. But it's worse than that. Driven mad by your own flesh...the stink of humanity. You hate your own existence. And that makes them more dangerous than ever. Rose, Captain, We're leaving!
Dalek #1: Exterminate!
Captain Jack:I kinda figured that.
 The Dalek Emperor: Purify the Earth with fire. The planet will become my temple and we shall rise. This will be our Paradise!
Rose: I can see the whole of time and space...every single atom of your existence... and I divide them!  The Time War...ends!
The Dalek Emperor: I will not die! I CANNOT DIE!!!
