Death is always more frightening when it strikes invisibly. I had to face my fear…that was more important than just going on living…. A straight line may be the shortest distance between two points, but it is by no means the most interesting. People who talk about infallibility are usually on very shaky ground. I’ve reversed the polarity of the Neutron flow, so the TARDIS should be free from the force field now. My dear Miss Shaw, I never report myself anywhere, particularly not forthwith. Obviously the Time Lords have programmed the TARDIS always to return to Earth. It seems that I am some kind of a galactic yo-yo!
