"You know the sound the Tardis makes? That wheezing, groaning. That sound brings hope wherever it goes.

Yes. Yes, I like to think it does.

To anyone who hears it, Doctor. Anyone, however lost.

(The sound of the time rotor is heard.)

Even you."
Sir John Hurt as the Doctor, facing away from the camera, and Billie Piper as The Moment, out of focus.

Doctor Who And The Bad Smell
Matt Smith, David Tennant, and Sir John Hurt as The Three Amigos, sans sombreros, because, in fact, as I'm sure you've guessed, they are three incarnations of that travelers in time and space, known as Doctor Who. They are looking towards Clare, offscreen, at the mention of UNIT's Black Archive.

What *are* the round things?
The Tardis console room. It is a mix of the console and supports from 2005, coral based, a slapdash look, with white roundels from the majority of 1963-1989. Surrounding the console David Tennant, Sir John Hurt, and Matt Smith as the Doctor, and Jenna Coleman as Clara.

Dear reader, they are, in fact, Sandshoes....
The Three Doctors, not those ones, are in a clearing in a wood near the Tower of London, 1562. Played by Matt Smith, Sir John Hurt, and David Tennant, the first two are looking at the thirds footewear, a pait of converse trainers, which evolved from the footwear known as plimsolls, which were named after the line on ships that denote a safe loading capacity. The original plimsoll were made when a process of attaching rubber to canvas was created.

"We're confusing the polarity!"
Two Doctors, played by Matt Smith and David Tennant are both attempting to reverse the polarity of a Time Tunnel™ (not that one), but are confusing the polarity instead. They are in a clearing in a wood not far from the Tower of London in 1562. Both are pointing their sonic screwdrivers at the Time Tunnel™ (not that one), in an attempt to do... well I'm not sure, maybe they were trying to dissipate it.

"Ding!"
The Doctor, in their Tenth incarnation, played by David Tennant. He's holding out a machine that goes ding. Made it himself. Lights up in the presence of shape-shifter DNA. Ooo! Also it can microwave frozen dinners from up to twenty feet and download comics from the future. He never knows when to stop. It's cobbled together out of odds and ends, some whirling things, and at least one bell. Queen Elizabeth the Firt (Whats a Firt? First! Ed...) looks on, played by Joanna Page. They are on a hill near the Tower of London in 1562. in the background is a pennant bearing the Cross of St George, flapping in the wind. Also a pale horse eating grass. Watch the horse...

Me behind a piano:
The EVIL SITH LORD DARTH SIDIOUS in the video of The Saga Begins by "Wierd" Al Yankovic, a rewording of American Pie by Don McLean, no relation. The EVIL SITH LORD DARTH SIDIOUS is played by a unknown bloke, though in most of his appearances in the STAR WARS SAGA, he is played by Ian McDairmid. The EVIL SITH LORD DARTH SIDIOUS is behind a piano, playing over dramatically. He has a hoid coving most of his face, and he and the piano are in a desert.

I expect Spitting Image to bring back a certain feature soon...
A screenshot from a Spitting Image sketch; TALK bollocks Two puppets in a darkened room, with the words TALK bollocks superimposed. It it unclear which puppets are in the room, but one has a large nose, and is tall, the other is short, based on the relative sizes of the puppets and the high backed chairs they are sitting on. There are bookcases behind them.

EL BARTO WORLD TOUR!

Shirley, Solihull, West Midlands, UK.
The words, EL BARTO spray painted in yellow onto a brick wall, with a line underneath. Also on the wall is an assortment of pipes and cables. One cable terminates at what looks like a switch, a pipe at a large box, which might be a meter box. It is covered in the remains of wide brown, sticky backed plastic.

I've finally worked out what the Enterprise hit in the episode "Disaster".

It wasn't a Quantum filament, but a cat hair shed by one of my cats.

Sorry about that...

When they say you can't hear an image.
A Shadow ship over the surface of Mars. It looks liks a gigantic spider from hell. Almost jet black, a central body with three layers of six arms, three on each side. It lets out a scream that goes straight into your head.
