Well, in The Juggernauts...
Funny thing about Bonnie Langford as a child actor. I recall an anecdote about a play she was in as a kid that Noel Coward watched. Apparently a horse crapped on stage, and Coward was later heard to remark that if they had shoved Langford's head up the horse's derriere, they would have solved two problems at once.
...not only does she call out the Doctor for working with the Daleks (not that he had a choice, really), but after Davros commits one atrocity too many, she sics a group of Mechonoids on him, and nearly kills him.

Russel T. Davies said later on that this was just a throwaway line, a joke and that we shouldn't take it seriously. The Doctor said he could regenerate 507 times and some people speculate that it's just 5+0+7, which is 12. (maybe the Doctor was tired of explaining or just didn't want to say?) I just wonder why Davies put it in in the first place. It just confuses everyone.
If River changed that, I don't know... Anyway, I'll be interested to see the explanation we will get when it's time for the 13th Doctor to regenerate. Or maybe earlier.

I'm getting used to Matt Smith as The Doctor, but you must admit that when his head started to turn round, the profile shot of him is not a good look.
That chin!
Bless.
Anyhoo, Doctor Who and the Daleks (Cushing) was on yesterday, and right at the beginning, he says that the Tardis is his invention.
I thought they were widely available on Gallifrey?

Yep, it was a movie about a human inventor called Doctor Who. 
It was based on the second serial of the series.
The Daleks in that film were originally going to have flamethrowers as their weapons, but they abandoned that idea on health and safety grounds and also because they thought it might be too frightening for kids. So they used fire extinguishers (fitted inside the Dalek props) instead.

There were several clues to the Doctor's alien origin in the first episode. Including a scrap yard that had a few visits at various times and various series. The name on the gate was "I. M. Foreman" - which could be taken as 'I'm for man' and, indeed, Susan used the name Foreman when she goes to the local school.
