The Doctor[]

It was one of the Tenth Doctor's favourite sayings; he especially wanted to say, "Allons-y, Alonso", (TV: Army of Ghosts [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).) which he eventually said to Alonso Frame. (TV: Voyage of the Damned [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2007 (BBC One, 2007).) The Twelfth Doctor once claimed that he was able to say it due to his precise control over the TARDIS translation circuits. (COMIC: Four Doctors)

The Doctor used the exclamation while drinking with Xylem Maple Dorm. (AUDIO: Death in the New Forest)

It saved his life on Midnight by proving that the being possessing Sky Silvestry had stolen his words. (TV: Midnight [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 4 (BBC One, 2008).)

The Tenth Doctor exclaimed the phrase as he, along with twelve other incarnations, combined the power of their TARDISes to use a stasis cube to freeze Gallifrey in a pocket universe. This, combined with the Eleventh Doctor's "geronimo!", came to the irritation of the War Doctor. (TV: The Day of the Doctor [+]Steven Moffat, 50th Anniversary Specials (BBC One, 2013).)

The Doctor described it to Addams as a word of consolation to the soul in times of need. (TV: The End of Time [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2009 and New Year Special 2010 (BBC One, 2009-2010).)

(TV: The Giggle [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).)
