Doctor Who: 10 Funniest Moments From Nu-Who

2: €œIt€™s the end of the world, Not the end of courtesy€ €“ Harriet Jones; MP for Flydale North

Harriet Jones She never actually said that out loud of course, but actions do speak louder than words, don€™t they. So picture it; you€™re trapped in the cabinet room in Downing Street with no escape, Slitheen are breathing down your neck, there€™s no way out and the world may be ending at any moment. That is still no excuse not to correct someone when they pass the port in the wrong direction. Which wouldn€™t be as funny as it is if it wasn€™t for Penelope Wilton€™s delivery. It€™s not a knee-jerk reaction sort of comment, and neither is it a serious change of direction in the conversation. It€™s a firm but polite reminder that simply because one is being savaged by baby-faced fart monsters, one still does not forget ones manners. The fact that they spend the rest of the episode quietly drinking the port while they deal with the issue at hand just makes me love the moment more.
