DW

TV Zone confirms that the present run of Doctor Who on Tuesday nights will
continue through Inferno but missing out Ambasadors of Death. Further
repeats beyond this point are dependant on viewing figures - which are
apparently very healthy - 2.5-3 million which is outperforming previous
occupiers of the time slot on a Tuesday.

Noone's answered the Question from last week yet....

Which question was that? (I'm sorry I've forgotten)

Adam

Well apart from checking
www.ifis.org.uk/social/forums/chat/?year=1999&month=Dec
(Nick - my annual fee for plugging the chat archives _must_ be due soon
.....

Which "screw" and which "Liberator" feature in The Silurians ?
(Richard Taylor got it without having seen the episode. But there again
he's spent the last 8 years answering my stupid trivia questions.)

Fulton Mackay - Mr Mackay of "Porridge"

Paul Darrow - Avon of "Blake's Seven"

Ah but you had to go and watch pt 2 to find out didn't you ? ;-)

I didn't get the question until just now, and yes, I did already know the
answer.

Ask me another

Adam

Ok. Remember kids he asked for it !

All in a very similar vein IE TV (bar one - which concerns the plot):

1) Connect Kert Gantry from The Dalek Masterplan, Andred from The Invasion
of Time and Professor Laird in Resurrection of the Daleks. Easy one to
start with. Might be a little lost on the younger members ....

2) Which Doctor Who story features 3 regular cast members of the Bill and
which of them also appeared as a Cyberman and a Statue ?

3) Which is the only current GLR presenter to appear in Doctor Who ? And
does anyone know if he's playing live in the near future ?

4) Connect the Voice of the early Daleks, the Voice of the later Daleks, K9
and Jones (the Paper Man from the Morris Dancers) in the Daemons

5) Connect The Silurians, The Sunmakers, The Face of Evil, the Robots of
Death and the 2 Doctors

6) Connect a burglar in Attack of the Cybermen, a colonist in the Power of
Kroll, a victim of the Giant Robot and the owner of a Plastics Factory

7) What have the Massacre, The Enemy of the World, Meglos and Arc of
Infinity got in common ?

8) What have the Time Meddler, Evil of the Daleks, the Ice Warriors and
every story from 3/1/1970 - 8/6/1974 got in common ?

9) Why does Black Orchid contradict Four to Doomsday ? Remember this is me
asking the question....

10) Connect Flowerchild in Greatest Show in The Galaxy, Orcini in Revelation
of the Daleks, Lon from Snakedance and Chris Parsons in Shada. (This is
very nasty) And in a very similar vein connect Shada with what would have
been the previous story. Thanks to Mark Lewisholm for the reference
material for those 2 answers.

11) What have Web of Fear, Invasion of the Dinosaurs and Mysterious Planet
got in common with a punk band from Woking ?

12) What legendary children's TV presenter appears in the Sensorites ?

13) Connect the Time Warrior, The Time Monster, Remembrance of the Daleks,
The Mutants and Mindwarp. Name their characters. This is the easiest of
the lot. As a bonus which is the only one to appear in Star Fleet ? (and
a further bonus for the only Star Fleet voice to appear in B5)

14) Connect Remembrance of the Daleks (for the 3rd time this evening) to
Snakedance.

15) Who connects Arak from Planet of Spiders with Mawdryn from Mawdryn
Undead (Chris - this one's for you seeing as you watched Mawdryn the other
week)

That completes my application for Question setter for the Dr Who round of
the quiz....

I suspect Phil will kill me for not responding to this.

the
You told me the answer yourself a few weeks back, so i shall refrain from
giving it
away.
K9
John leeson was K9. I guess he did the others as well.
They all feature a character known as the Dr, and a spaceship called a
TARDIS.
me
Another one you told me. For those whon don't know Phil well, he is heavily
into cricket. BTW on the same basis, FTD contradicts itself.
Revelation
The song OM is used as background on the eps. :-)
(and
Same actor I assume. For bonus points link David Collings into Sapphire and
Steel.
Probably too difficult unless you've watched all of the adventures a minimum
of 3 times.

No - I'll kill him for only getting #15 half right. Sean will wipe the
floor with you when he gets hold of that...

Though knowing John Leeson is the voice of K9 is useful more than once.....
of
minimum
Maybe. But who needed to be asked who Rerpf was before he failed a
Pratchett question on the IFIS quiz ?
How many times had that person read "The Colour of Magic" at that point ?
:-)

I'll come up with some proper Who Qs about the stories later.
Problem is "Who created the Daleks ?" is too easy for you lot.
Need to judge the level right....

In the mean time toss those 15 amongst yourselves.

Curiously enough, only once. It ain't my favorite Pratchett.
Head of the assassins guild wasn't he?
Terry Nation, Davros, or a costume designer depending on POV.



is too easy for you lot.
ooer, missus.

I thought the correct answer was "Yes"?

Kinda.
Simon Rouse, Jeff Stewart and Graham Cole who appeared as a Cyberman in the
eighties and (uncredited) as Melkur in The Keeper of Traken.
They all feature doubles of the Doctor, played by the actor playing the
Doctor at the time.
Members of the casts of the Carry On films in them ie. Peter Butterworth,
Windsor Davies, Bernard Bresslaw and Jon Pertwee?
Daniel Hill, playing Chris Parsons in Shada also played retirement home
manager Harvey Bains in 'Waiting for God' which also featured Graham Crowden
as pensioner Tom Ballard, Soldeed from the actual season 17 finale, The
Horns of Nimon.
Underground Stations?


These questions are downright evil. Are you the bloke who writes
the Watcher Column at the end of Doctor Who Magazine and sets those really
weird questions?

Adam.

We aim to please. Admitedly all of those do depend on you knowing something
of the world outside of Doctor Who. Well done on getting the No place like
home one - are you sure you're not cheeting with some sort of DW Programme
Guide and RT Book of Comedy cross referance ?
No. But I can usually answer a couple of them.

Nobody will ever get 4 :-) With the possible exception of Sean.
For 1,4 and 14 you need to be about my age and to have been fed a regular
diet of kids TV when younger...

I'm trying to write some remotely sensible ones as well.

Answers tomorrow.

No, just a wild guess actually as I once saw part an episode and recognised
Martin Clunes, William Gaunt and Daniel Hill from it. Dee Sadler (I have an
encyclopaedic knowledge of some of the actors names) as the fourth member
was just a complete leap of faith.

Adam

I think they were all cast members of eighties sitcom "There's no place like
home" (I only just thought of that one)

Adam

I've just had a thought about this one. RAINBOW. John Leeson was the
original Bungle and Roy Skelton provided the voice of Zippy. Don't know who
Jones was though.

Adam (too much time on his hands and not wanting to do his essay) Cummins.

who
Peter Hawkins - who was the earlier voice of the Daleks used to do puppet
voices for Rainbow.
Jones was played by Matthew Corbett (as in man with hand up Sooty's
backside) who was the original member of Rod, Jane and Freddy before Freddy.

You really should have got 1 if you got this one...

I still got Bungle though.

Blake's Seven cast members - Paul Darrow, That one who played Vila, don't
know, Stephen Greif (Travis) and of course Jacqueline Pearce (Servelan)
