NuWho - Series 4, Episode 5 - The Poison Sky (Season 30, Story 192b)

Quotes
====================================
"Taste that, in the air. Yuck. That sort of metal tang. Teleport exchange. It's the Sontarans. They've taken it. I'm stuck on Earth like, like an ordinary person. Like a human. How rubbish is that? Sorry, no offence, but come on." ~ The Tenth Doctor

"So, tell me, General Staal, since when did you lot become cowards?" ~ The Tenth Doctor

"Ah, the war's not going so well, then. Losing, are we?  The war between the Sontarans and the Rutans. It's been raging, far out in the stars, for fifty thousand years. Fifty thousand years of bloodshed, and for what?" ~ The Tenth Doctor

"Ha! The planet is going nuclear. I admire them. The bravery of idiots is bravery, nonetheless." ~ General Staal

"This is too easy. They're running like slimebait from a speelfox. This isn't war, this is sport." ~ Commander Skorr

"Times like this, I could do with the Brigadier." ~ The Tenth Doctor

"For the billionth time, you can't fight Sontarans!" ~ The Tenth Doctor

Donna: Oh. Well, there's a door.
The 10th Doctor: Should be a switch by the side.
Donna: Yeah there is. But it's Sontaran shaped, you need three fingers.
The 10th Doctor: You've got three fingers.
Donna: Oh, yeah.

Mace: Latest firing stock. What do you think, Doctor?
The 10th Doctor: Are you my mummy?

"About you? Oh, right from the start. Reduced iris contraction, slight thinning of the hair follicles on the left temple. And, frankly, you smell. You might as well have worn a T shirt saying clone." ~ The Tenth Doctor

"Have I ever told you how much I hate you?" ~ Donna Noble

"If I see one more gun..." ~ The Tenth Doctor

"Right. So, Donna, thank you for everything. Martha, you too. Oh, so many times. Luke, do something clever with your life." ~ The Tenth Doctor

====================================
Trivia
====================================
Helen Raynor wrote this episode. Her Series 3 episodes Daleks in Manhattan and Evolution of the Daleks both occupied fourth and fifth episode in the series. This two part episode also occupies episode four and five.

This episode left a loose end about the Sontarans' defeat that was used in The Sarah Jane Adventures episode The Last Sontaran.

When the Doctor cuts off Staal's speech on the video screen in mid flow, a clip from CBeebies cartoon Tommy Zoom is featured. The original plan to use a clip from Shaun the Sheep fell through.

When the Doctor yells at Colonel Mace, David Tennant's gold tooth can be visibly seen. This became the subject of an internet meme wondering if the Doctor regenerated them or if he has practised lacklustre dental hygiene in his tenth incarnation's relatively short life and, that being the case, chastising him.
