Quotes
====================================
"Don't just stand there, move! God you're rubbish as a human!" ~ Martha Jones
"Hold me. Keep me safe. Keep me dark. Keep me closed. The time is not right. Not yet. Not while the family is abroad. Danger." ~ The Watch
"Because the Family has traveled far and wide looking for Mr. Smith, and oh the things we have seen. War is coming. In foreign fields, war of the whole wide world with all your boys falling down in the mud. Do you think they will thank the man who taught them it was glorious?" ~ Brother of Mine
"I know it sounds mad. When the Doctor became human he took the alien part of himself and put it inside the watch—only it's not really a watch, it just looks like a watch." ~ Martha Jones
"Well that certainly is nonsense. Women might train to be doctors, but hardly a skivvy and hardly one of your color." ~ Nurse Joan Redfern
"How can you think I'm not real. When I kissed you, was that a lie? This doctor sounds like some, some romantic lost Prince. would you rather him? Am I not enough?" ~ John Smith
"Because I've seen him. He's like fire and ice and rage. He's like the night and the storm and the heart of the sun. He's ancient and forever. He burns at the center of time and he can see the turn of the Universe." ~ Tim Latimer
"People are dying out there! They need him, and I need him. 'Cause you've got no idea what he's like. I've only just met him—it wasn't even that long ago, but... he is everything. He is just everything to me and he doesn't even look at me, but I don't care. 'Cause I love him to bits. And I hope to god he won't remember me saying this." ~ Martha Jones
"He never raised his voice. That was the worst thing. The fury of the Time Lord. And then we discovered why. Why this Doctor who had fought with gods and demons, why he'd run away from us and hidden. He was being kind. He wrapped my father in unbreakable chains, forged in the heart of a dwarf star. He tricked my mother into the event horizon of a collapsing galaxy, to be imprisoned there forever. He still visits my sister— once a year, every year. I wonder if one day he might forgive her. But there she is! Can you see her? He trapped her inside a mirror. Every mirror. If ever you look at your reflection and see something move behind you—just for a second—that's her. That's always her. As for me, I was suspended in time. And the Doctor put me to work standing over the fields of England, as their protector. We wanted to live forever. So the Doctor made sure that we did." ~ Brother of Mine
"He was braver than you, in the end. That ordinary man. You chose to change. He chose to die." ~ Nurse Redfern
"Answer me this: if the Doctor had never visited us, never chosen this place—on a whim—would anyone have died?" ~ Nurse Redfern

Trivia
====================================
Smith's A Journal of Impossible Things was created by artist Kellyanne Walker, based on text provided by (writer) Paul Cornell. Kellyanne's brief was to reflect the fact that Smith wasn't an excellent artist - and that these were images and thoughts from his dreams that he had rushed down on paper before he forgot them.
Russell T Davies once stated in an interview for the Doctor Who Magazine his belief that this two-parter was too dark for the program's audience.
Joan Redfern was the third character in the revived series to decline an invitation to travel with the Tenth Doctor, after Sarah Jane Smith and Donna Noble. Donna would ultimately travel with the Doctor in Series 4.
When Hutchinson calls Latimer a "filthy coward", Latimer responds by saying, "Oh, yes, sir! Every time!" This is a reference to The Parting of the Ways. It is revealed in the Doctor Who Confidential for these two episodes that they wanted to make Latimer a bit Doctor-ish in his character, so they included this as a nod to that quality of his.
The fate of the Family of Blood is very reminiscent of what happened to Borusa at the end of The Five Doctors.
