Who Said… – Subtitle Search

Some example searches: Rose / Martha / Donna, TARDIS, Tyler -Rose, sonic, "very clever", all stage directions, all cyan subtitles mentioning doctor.

I created this small project as part of BBC Mashed 2008. The database contains all the subtitles the BBC’s lovely program could parse from the modern Doctor Who, so results will obviously be wrong for the missing areas.

You can search by word, phrase, stage direction-ness, subtitle colour or position, series, episode, or time within episode. Each episode has a representative tag cloud, and search results have a line graph showing usage throughout the series. All subtitles on search results are clickable to go to that point in the full episode list of subtitles.

Here’s the precise details of what I have:

Series 1: All of episodes 1, 4, 5, 7, 9, and 13; almost all of episode 10; around 30 minutes of episodes 3 and 12; around 20 minutes of episodes 2 and 6; 13 minutes of episodes 8 and 11.
20 minutes of Christmas Invasion
Series 2: All of episodes 3, 4, 9, 10, 13; around 35 minutes of episodes 6, 7, and 8; around 20–25 minutes of episodes 5 and 11; and around 15 minutes for episodes 1, 2, and 12.
All of The Runaway Bride
Series 3: All of episodes 1, 3, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13; around half an hour of episodes 2 and 8; 13 minutes of episode 4; none of episode 5.
13.5 minutes of Voyage of the Damned
Series 4: All of episodes 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, 11, 12, and 13; 37.5 minutes of episode 9; only 10–13 minutes of episodes 3, 5, 6, and 8.
