* In the very first episode of ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' in 1963, the Doctor uses this on his first ever human companion, Ian, who is complaining about being condescended to. It would surely be a throwaway line if it were uttered today by Matt Smith, but this is [[Badass Grandpa|William Hartnell]] we're talking about here.
