- Because she said the drink was “delicious”, but in an earlier scene when the Doctor offered her a bottle she said, “Can’t stand the stuff, thanks.”
Ben & Polly?
No takers? They aren’t that difficult are they?
I just got distracted with other threads. I believe that 19 is Sherlock Holmes. I will have to refresh my memory on the others.
Not the one I was thinking of, though you might be able to justify it.
After rearching it: 21. Richard E. Grant played Withnail, and he is all about the Doctor, in real life.
20 - on the very first page of his book. (“Destiny of the Daleks” - IIRC, the philosopher is Oolon Colluphid [Douglas Adams in-joke], and his book’s talking about the Big Bang, leading the Doctor to comment “Why didn’t he ask someone who was there when it happened?”)
I think one of the answers to 16 could be Jean Marsh, if you count Sara Kingdom as a companion (she also played Morgana in “Battlefield”.) And I’m fairly sure John Levene (Sergeant, formerly Corporal, later Warrant Officer Benton) also played a Yeti at one point.
I think the stuff in the Thal’s rocket was “distronic explosive”.
I vaguely remember Romana saying she was 125 during “City of Death”, but I have an equally vague feeling she’s inconsistent about her age.
As for 18 - seeds of death (Troughton, Ice Warriors)? Seeds of doom (Tom Baker, Krynoids)? Dunno what else it might be.
Materializing at the top of the Cafe Society threadboard from an earlier point in time:
-
I’m tempted to say “an apple a day keeps a Dalek away”, but I don’t know why.
-
Paul McGann (Doctor #8 - the ‘half-human’ one) starred in Withnail & I.
I’m going to toss out a few more - -
Three completely contradictory accounts of the origin of life on Earth figured into Doctor Who serials. What were they?
-
What instigated the big bang?
-
In which segment of time is the Earth destroyed?
-
What serial contradicts the answer to #26?

Match each Doctor-performer up to his non-Doctor acting role:
- A bartender in Dublin who reluctantly shelters a fugitive IRA member.
- A priest desperately trying to repent for his hand in a satanic plot.
- A visitor to the ancient roman forum from a supposedly (but not really)
plague infested province. - A charlatan who works his way into a tragic ruling family’s inner circle
and…just.won’t.die! - The featured dinner special at the universally-renouned restaurant
“Milleeways.” - A major general who meets Indiana Jones.
- A guard at an insane asylum assigned to keep watch over the victim of a
vampire. - A drug-addicted doctor sentenced to work-service at a gulag.
- The much-missed husband of a ghost.
Well, one was a spaceship crash-landing on earth, with Aldric aboard. I don’t recall the other two at the moment.
Er, incorrect. That explained the extinction of the dinosaurs, not the creation of life. Try again.
:smack:
nope.
That’s part of it. Got the rest?
- Scaroth of the Jaggaroth’s ship exploding.
One of Terminus’ engines exploding.
Pat Troughton in The Omen
I’ll guess Jon Pertwee in the stage version of *A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum * I don’t remember the plot very well, though.
Tom Baker as Raputin
Peter Davison
Colin Baker in one of The Young Indianna Jones episodes. (I looked that one up)
I don’t know the others, but you seem to have put them in the order they played the Doctor.
- A guard at an insane asylum assigned to keep watch over the victim of a
vampire.
This one is Sylvester McCoy in the 1979 version of Dracula.
should have said, Peter Davison as the dish of the day in HHGTTG.
Christopher Ecclestone as Charles Stewart in * The Others*
The Earth is destroyed in the 57th segment of time - IIRC, we actually get to see it go - in the Hartnell-era story “The Ark”.
I guess it’s contradicted by both “The Trial of a Time Lord” (in which the Time Lords hide the entire planet under an assumed name when it’s supposed to be destroyed) and by the new series episode “The End of the World” …
- From Kinda “An apple a day keeps … oh never mind”
- Doom and Death
- Dangerous Davies. The 1981 movie starred Bernard Cribbins (companion in the Peter Cushing movie) and Colin Baker. The current TV version stars Peter Davison.
- On the first page
- Yes he does. Withnail was Richard E. Grant who played the doctor in a BBC-approved cartoon version. … and I was Paul McGann.
- When he met the character Persuasion in four To Doomsday The Doctor mused “Friendly, I hope”
- Because of a pepetual foe that loves anagrams.
Okay, I believe all the previous questions have been correctly answered thus far. I’ll post another round:
- What was the first story to feature the Doctor using his sonic screwdriver?
- Who did the Doctor (William Hartnell) think looked remarkably like his grand-daughter Susan? And what particular trait of this girl annoyed the Doctor?
- Who was the Doctor’s first “ladyfriend”? Chaste thought their romance was… (HINT: It was NOT Grace Holloway.)
- What was the Zero Room, and what happened to it?
- According to Romana’s research, what was the Doctor’s ranking at Gallifrey’s Time Lord Academy?
- What happened to the planets Calufrax & Bendragenous-5?
- According to Tegan’s uncle, what is the most powerful word in the english language?
" Three completely contradictory accounts of the origin of life on Earth figured into Doctor Who serials. What were they? "
I don’t think that was answered. One was Scaroth’s ship exploding, what were the other two?
24. Fury from the deep.
- The old Aztec woman he shared cocoa with.
27 a sterile environment used for healing. It was jettisoned to gain energy for the TARDIS engines.
