NuWho - Series 4, Episode 10 - Midnight (Season 30, Story 196)

====================================
Quotes
====================================
"Sapphire waterfall. It's a waterfall made of sapphires. This enormous jewel, the size of a glacier, reaches the Cliffs of Oblivion, and then shatters into sapphires at the edge. They fall a hundred thousand feet into a crystal ravine." ~ The Tenth Doctor

"Taking a big space truck with a bunch of strangers across a diamond planet called Midnight? What could possibly go wrong?" ~ The Tenth Doctor

The 10th Doctor: What happened?
Sky: Oh, the usual. She needed her own space, as they say. A different galaxy, in fact. I reckon that's enough space, don't you?
The 10th Doctor: Yeah. I had a friend who went to a different universe.

"Sorry. I'm the Doctor, I'm very clever." ~ The Tenth Doctor

"You're right, the cabin's gone.  It loses integrity. I'm sorry, they've been reduced to dust. The driver and the mechanic. But they sent a distress signal. Help is on its way. They saved our lives. We are going to get out of here, I promise. We're still alive, and they are going to find us." ~ The Tenth Doctor

"Oh, Doctor, you're so handsome. Yes, I am, thank you." ~ The Tenth Doctor & Sky

"We must not look at goblin men. We must not buy their fruits. Who knows upon what soil they fed Their hungry, thirsty roots?" ~ Dee Dee & Sky

"Professor, I'm glad you've got an absolute definition of life in the universe, but perhaps the universe has got ideas of its own, hmm? Now trust me, I've got previous." ~ The Tenth Doctor & Sky

"Now, listen, all of you. For all we know that's a brand new life form over there. And if it's come inside to discover us, than what's it found? This little bunch of humans. What do you amount to, murder? Because this is where you decide. You decide who you are. Could you actually murder her? Any of you? Really? Or are you better than that?" ~ The Tenth Doctor & Sky

"He's waited so long. In the dark. And the cold. And the diamonds. Until you came.  Bodies so hot. With blood. And pain." ~ Sky

"Cast him out into the sun and the night. The starlight waits. The emptiness. The Midnight sky." ~ Sky

====================================
Trivia
====================================
This is the first episode in Series 4 in which the Doctor is present when Rose Tyler appears although he does not see her.

Donna was largely absent from this episode, as Catherine Tate was filming Turn Left. While the previous two series included one episode each referred to as "Doctor-lite" for including only brief appearances by the Doctor and, by extension, his companion, this was the first time a "companion-lite" episode focusing on the Doctor by himself has been attempted in the revived series.

Dee Dee mentions the lost moon of Poosh, continuing the theme of disappearing planetary bodies featured throughout series 4.

David Troughton, who plays the professor, is the son of Patrick Troughton, who played the Second Doctor. Episode director Alice Troughton is not directly related. David Troughton appeared in his father's final story The War Games, and also in the Third Doctor story The Curse of Peladon and is a veteran contributor to the Big Finish Productions audio dramas.

This is the first episode since the revival of the series in which the TARDIS does not appear at all.
