Doctor Who: The First and Last Lines of the Doctors

Given the first and last line of an incarnation of the Doctor, can you identify them? (Correct as of 31/5/2025, and will always be updated as soon as possible whenever a new episode is broadcast.)
The lines in this quiz are the first and last "in-universe", so may not necessarily come from the first/last episodes of their own era when they make return appearances that are explicitly set after their final broadcast regular episode (1/2/6/15).

"Oh, there it is. The silly old universe. The more I save it, the more it needs saving. It's a treadmill. Yes, yes, I know. They'll get it all wrong without me. I suppose one more lifetime wouldn't kill anyone. Well, except me. You wait a moment, Doctor. Let's get it right. I've got a few things to say to you. Basic stuff first. Never be cruel, never be cowardly, and never, ever eat pears! Remember, hate is always foolish, and love is always wise. Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind. Oh, and you mustn't tell anyone your name. No-one would understand it, anyway. Except… Ah! Except children. Children can hear it sometimes. If their hearts are in the right place, and the stars are too, children can hear your name. Argh! But nobody else. Nobody else, ever. Laugh hard, run fast, be kind. Doctor, I let you go."

Good quiz, but it would help a lot if they were in either numerical order, or alphabetical order by surname, rather than alphabetical by number...

Unfortunately, that’s just the way quizzes of this type always sort themselves. It’s entirely out of my control. Sorry.
