On "The Other Place" I remember seeing lots of threads about your favourite line, joke or quote in the series. And those threads were fun, but ultimately it's always the heavy hitters being repeated over and over.
So my question to you, Lemmings and Kbinauts, is what is your favourite underrated line in the series? Something that makes you laugh, or makes you think, every time but you never see talked about?
Yes, this whole thread is just an excuse to post about how much I adore the following description from Moving Pictures:
It looked like a large, ornate pot, almost as high as a man of large pot height.
Honourable mention goes to my second fave, also in fact from Moving Pictures and the best side character in the series:
Sunnink dreadful in there, he thought. Prob'ly tentacled fings that rips your face off. I mean, when you finds mysterious doors in old hills, stands to reason wot comes out ain't going to be pleased to see you. Evil creatures wot Man shouldn't wot of, and here's one dog wot don't want to wot of them either.
I've read both of these gods know how many times, and still laugh out loud every single time.
Go on, share your favourites!
I played the Duke in a Stage adaptation of Weird Sisters and the whole cast wrote quote for their character in the front of their script. Mine was
“The duke had a mind that ticked like a clock and, like a clock, it regularly went cuckoo.”
Haha, love this! Really gives you so much of a sense of his character in such a simple statement.
I saw a local production of this a few years ago too, wonder if they did anything similar. Sadly the only DW production they've done, but it was great. Have you been in any others?
Unfortunately not this was many years ago (college production!) but loved every minute of it - I find his work translates very well to the stage
