Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
A catchphrase that is really a mood: the Tenth Doctor at full tilt, grinning and already running. It tells you the adventure has started and he is enjoying it. "Midnight" later turned it into a horror beat, hearing his own cheerful word come out of someone else's mouth, and fans have been using it as the cue to leave a room ever since.

The Tenth Doctor's French-flavoured "let's go". According to the Tardis wiki he says it, and the pun "Allons-y, Alonso", for the first time in "Army of Ghosts" (2006), the penultimate episode of series two, and finally gets to say it to a real Alonso, Alonso Frame, in "Voyage of the Damned". Its most chilling use is in "Midnight" (2008): stranded on a shuttle bus on the planet Midnight, the Doctor hears the entity possessing Sky Silvestry repeat his own words, "Allons-y" among them, which shows it has stolen his voice.
