NuWho - Series 6, Episode 6 - The Almost People (Season 32, Story 217b)

====================================
Quotes
====================================
"I've reversed the jelly baby of the neutron flow. Would you like a Doctor, Doctor, I'm, I'm the. I can't." ~ The Ganger Doctor

Ganger Doctor: Exactly. So, what's the plan?
The 11th Doctor: Save them all, humans and gangers.
Ganger Doctor: Tall order. Sounds wonderful.
The 11th Doctor: Is that what you were thinking? It's just so inspiring to hear me say it.
Ganger Doctor: I know.

"Listen to me. I tried to block the memories, but now I know I must remember. It's the eyes. The eyes are the last to go. When they destroy us, the eyes are the last things to melt. And there's one question in those eyes. Why? Why should we suffer for the sake of human beings?" ~ Ganger Jennifer

"Why? It's all they all say. Why?  I can feel them as they work each day knowing the time was coming to be thrown away again! Not again! Please! And then they are destroyed and they feel death and all they can say is 'Why?'" ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"Discarded Flesh. Faulty, probably. Just thrown away. Look at them. One of my old Gangers. Left to rot, fully conscious. Can you imagine what kind of hell they're in? Who are the real monsters?" ~ Jennifer

The 11th Doctor: Ah. The eyes have it.
Amy: Why are they here?
The 11th Doctor: To accuse us.

"If you have a better plan, I'm all ears. In fact, if you have a better plan, I'll take you to a planet where everyone is all ears." ~  The Eleventh Doctor

"No, you're not. You haven't been here for a long, long time." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

====================================
Trivia
====================================
This is the ninth time the actor playing the Doctor has portrayed a different character in the same story. This previously happened with: William Hartnell (The Chase and The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve), Patrick Troughton (The Enemy of the World), Tom Baker (The Android Invasion and Meglos), Peter Davison (Arc of Infinity and The Caves of Androzani), and David Tennant (Journey's End).

Although Edmund Warwick was credited with playing the android Doctor in "The Chase", some shots of the android were of William Hartnell.

While the episode premiered in the UK on 28 May, the US premiere was delayed one week to prevent a drop in viewership over the Memorial Day weekend. A Good Man Goes to War also aired one week late as a result.

This two-part story is thematically similar to the Series 5 two-parter The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood. In both stories the Doctor attempts to broker a peace between two lifeforms on Earth, only to have the truce shattered by mistrust on both sides.
