"There’s a big blue box. It’s bigger on the inside than the outside. It can go anywhere in space and time, sometimes where it is supposed to go. Something will go wrong, and there’s some bloke called The Doctor, who’ll make it all right because he’s awesome -
- Now sit down, shut up and watch Blink."
The Quote: Neil Gaiman
