Actually, I had a nagging doubt I'd forgotten about something and checked. CoalHillJanitor was sort of correct with an earlier guess, but I won't allow it for a reason that will become obvious.

Erm ... someone who was in Master Plan? Like the Monk but in The Time Meddler?
"You've not spent all your life at books, Doctor."
Hm. I can't recall this one, or anywhere close.
I was going to have a go at "The Mind Robber", but I'm troubled by the term "at books". Surely in the early DWs the English was much more precise, rather than some faux attempt at renaissance syntax which was much more late 70s.
So, I'm going to hazard a guess at a 4th Doctor story.
Is it Masque of Mandragora? Seem to remember it after a swordfight or something.
TRT1968 was getting very close with the reference to "renaissance syntax", but it's jrmswfc who came in with the right answer. The quote was from Guiliano in 'The Masque of Mandragora' after the Doctor impressed him with his swordplay.

No, not that one.
Another great story, but no.
Right, I'll take the even stories and you take the odds.
I'll take another guess and say The Savages!

Ah, you got it! It's becoming a habit. Over to you.
Oh well, at least it's not a bad habit.
'Ten minutes, Doctor. Ten minutes.'
Not that one.
Yes indeed, it was Perkins. Well done, and the sausage is passed to you.

Over to you...
my quote: "Come on Father. You'll be needed to put everything together again."
Good luck at guessing.
Seeing as my go was basically hijacked with a lazy "it was the Doctor", I'll put it up again for somebody to have a proper go at it.
"I'm having a whale of a time".
Awww, it originally read something like "I demand you take me to..." something...
I look silly now
