Quotes
====================================
"So what are you doing in Cardiff and who the hell is Jumpin' Jack Flash? I mean I don't mind you hanging out with big ears up there...But this guy, I don't know. He's kinda...cheesy." ~ Mickey Smith
Mickey: That old lady's staring.
Captain Jack: Probably wondering what four people could do inside a small wooden box.
Mickey: What are you captain of? The innuendo squad?
Secretary: The Lord Mayor says, Thank you for popping by. She'd love to have a chat but she's up to her eyes in paperwork. Perhaps if you could make an appointment for next week.
The 9th Doctor: She's climbing out the window, isn't she?
Secretary: Yes she is.
"Ricky, left me tell you something about the human race. You put a mysterious blue box slap bang in the middle of the town, what do they do? Walk past it. Now stop your nagging, let's go and explore." ~ The Ninth Doctor
"Don't worship me, I'd make a very bad god. Wouldn't get a day off for starters." ~ The Ninth Doctor
"Are you saying I'm not handsome?" ~ The Ninth Doctor
"We've got a prisoner. The police box is really a police box." ~ Rose Tyler
"Dinner and bondage. Works for me." ~ Margaret Blaine
"You're pleading for mercy out of a dead woman's lips." ~ The Ninth Doctor
"You let one of them go but that's nothing new. Every now and then a little victim's spared because she smiled, 'cause he's got freckles. 'Cause they begged. And that's how you live with yourself. That's how you slaughter millions. Because once in awhile—on a whim, if the wind's in the right direction—you happen to be kind." ~ The Ninth Doctor
"It's not just any old power source. It's the TARDIS. My TARDIS. The best ship in the Universe." ~ The Ninth Doctor

Trivia
====================================
Having previously played Martin in Remembrance of the Daleks, William Thomas (Cleaver) became the first actor to appear in both the classic and revived series of Doctor Who. He would later play Gwen Cooper's father Geraint in Torchwood.
The means by which Margaret plans to use the tribophysical waveform macrokinetic extrapolator as a pan-dimensional surfboard to escape Earth is highly reminiscent of the board used by the Silver Surfer, a character appearing in publications by Marvel Comics, whose UK division publishes Doctor Who Monthly.
When the Doctor and his associates march into Cardiff City Hall to capture Margaret, the Doctor is the only one not wearing a scarf, a subtle in-joke reference to the Fourth Doctor.
The Edge of Destruction was the first story to suggest that there was some sort of 'power' beneath the console.
During his dinner with Margaret Blaine, the Doctor eats steak — evidently, he has given up his vegetarianism, which the Sixth Doctor began to practice at the end of The Two Doctors. (He also took a slice of turkey in The Empty Child.)
It would later be established in Fragments that Torchwood Three had been in existence since at least 1899 in Cardiff, with Jack involved in the organisation since 1899 and in charge from the end of 1999. This means that the Doctor's arrival near the rift, his party's reunion with Mickey, and the subsequent Slitheen adventure -- all involving Captain Jack -- takes place very close to the older Captain Jack and his Torchwood team. A possible reference to this occurs in Utopia when Jack mentions having to wait until a version of the Doctor that coincided with him arrived; encountering the Doctor and his younger self at this point would have been unacceptable. In addition, a third, older Jack, cryogenically frozen, is also nearby, unknown to both younger Jacks. (Torchwood: Exit Wounds) The later episode Utopia would reveal that the Doctor somehow became aware of (or perhaps always knew) of Jack gaining immortality and this is why he left him behind following the defeat of the Daleks in The Parting of the Ways. In the book, The Twilight Streets, it is established that Jack locked himself and his team inside the Hub for the day to prevent them from meeting his younger self.
