    Is that Mel from Trial Of A Time Lord, possibly The Ultimate Foe?

    No, not where I heard it - though there is the Valeyard's comment about the 'catharsis of spurious morality'. Maybe that's what you are thinking of, but no not Mel and not the Ultimate Foe.

    However, there is an interesting reason why you might think the Ultimate Foe, though...

    I know this is from a Sixth Doctor Story. It actually sounds like something the Rani would say so I'm going for her in Mark Of The Rani?

    It is from Mark of the Rani - well done - but it isn't Mistress Rani herself. It was Ravensworth.

    Of course, both were written by Pip and Jane Baker - that's why the pattern of the language is so familiar - it's the overblown, pseuds vocabulary.

    It's weird, it was the dialogue itself that made me think it was a Sixth Doctor story but didn't think in terms of P&J Baker dialogue.

    Anyway, here's the next quote.....

    'It's good to know things, even when they're dead.'

    That's Penley from 'The Ice Warriors', isn't it?

    You've got he right story, but the wrong character. It was Harry who ran the cafe, responding to Mike yelling out his name.

    Good enough though - over to you, Vopiscus

    24-hour(ish) clue: The object's about to be used for a purpose for which a crank was later employed.

    In that case, surely it has to be 'Death to the Daleks' - with the Doctor talking to Sarah?

    The crank is in Death to the Daleks - this is an earlier (black and white) occasion.

    Ah, now I understand. In that case it was the Doctor in 'The Web Planet'.
