Favourite One era quotes/speeches/dialogue
50.”Oh, I, I was just wondering about the time factor, my boy.” The Doctor.
“Oh, a year or two either way doesn’t make much difference to us, you know.” Ian.

“Oh, my dear, believe you me, I wouldn’t spoil your homecoming for all the world.” The Doctor, Dalek Invasion of Earth.
Two wonderful bits from the beginning of Dalek Invasion of Earth where Ian and Barbara believe they may finally be home. The first quote is really rather interesting that Ian mentions not being bothered if they have arrived home a couple of years out. It just links nicely to the Chase and that joyous moment where he kisses Barbara on the cheek and tells her that it doesn’t matter that they’re two years late home because they have each other. It was probably never intended when written to link these together but it’s a nice little thing to watch knowing that is what happens and Ian is right in his feeling.
And the second one, the Doctor so extremely happy for them, he really hopes he’s got them home and doesn’t want anything to spoil that big day. It’s a nice character development to see him willing to take them home and also happy to see them return as friends not enemies.
