Quotes
====================================
"The skies are burnt orange. With a citadel enclosed in a mighty glass dome. Shining under the twin suns. Beyond that the mountains go on forever. Slopes of deep red grass. Capped with snow." ~ The Tenth Doctor
"Nah! Where's the fun for me? I don't want to go home! Instead. This is much better. The year five billion and fifty three. Planet New Earth. Second Earth for mankind. Fifty thousand light years from your own world, and we're slap bang in the middle of New New York. Although technically it's the fifteenth New York since the original so it's New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New York. One of the most dazzling cities ever built." ~ The Tenth Doctor
"They say people go missing on the motorway. Some cars just vanish, never to be seen again. 'Cause there's something living down there, in the smoke. Something huge and hungry. And if you get lost on the road, it's waiting for you." ~ Cheen
"If it's any consolation, Valerie, right now, I'm having kittens." ~ The Tenth Doctor
"Finding my own way. I usually do. Here we go. Look after this. I love that coat. Janis Joplin gave me that coat." ~ The Tenth Doctor
"It is though. Because you haven't seen the things he can do. Honestly. Just trust me, both of you. You've got your faith. You've got your songs and your hymns. And I've got the Doctor." ~ Martha Jones
"My name's The Doctor and this is an order: everyone drive up. Now. I've opened the roof of the motorway. Come on. Throttle those engines and drive up. All of you, the whole undercity. Drive up!" ~ The Tenth Doctor
"Happy happy. New New York can start again. And they've got Novice Hame. Just what every city needs—cats in charge. Come on. Time we were off." ~ The Tenth Doctor
"I lied to you. 'Cause I liked it. I could pretend, just for a bit, I could imagine they were still alive underneath the burnt orange sky. I'm not just a TIme Lord. I'm the last of the Time Lords. The Face of Boe was wrong. There's no one else. There was a war—a Time War. The Last Great Time War. My people fought a race called the Daleks. For the sake of all creation. And they lost. We lost. Everyone lost. They're all gone now. My family. My friends. Even that sky. Ah, you should have seen it, that old planet. The second sun would rise in the south and the mountains would shine. The leaves on the trees were silver. When they caught the light every morning it looked like a forest on fire." ~ The Tenth Doctor

Trivia
====================================
Gridlock is the 727th broadcast episode of Doctor Who, surpassing the 726 instalments accumulated by the Star Trek franchise, although Trek's record was set through the broadcasts of six series. Taken on its own merits, Doctor Who has held the record for greatest number of episodes for an individual science fiction series since the 1970s, and the count of 727 doesn't include Torchwood and other spin-offs aired to this point.
In a feature for Doctor Who Magazine, Russell T Davies wrote of a prophecy in which the death of the Face of Boe would be heralded by "the heavens opening". When he wrote Gridlock the following year, he realised after the fact that the Face of Boe's death did indeed cause the heavens to open - his last bit of energy opened the sealed system to free the drivers of New Earth.
The Macra appear for the first time in 40 years (they last appeared in The Macra Terror). This is to date the longest interval between appearances of any character or race in Doctor Who history.
The Japanese words for 'Bad Wolf' appear on a poster on the wall of the Japanese hippies' car.
The Doctor's description of his home planet (Gallifrey) matches Susan's in The Sensorites as well as the overall appearance in Lungbarrow.
