| Just for fun quiz |
 |
|
Here is a little quiz. Just for Fun. I will post the answers at some point if no one gets them all. Should be quite easy though, nothing too technical. All questions relate to the TV series or TV movie(s). So knowledge of other medium should be held as irrelavant to the quiz. Have fun.
1) In which episode, (and which Doctor), does our hero ponder over the question; "What if I could control peoples taste buds?"
2) Which episodes/stories feature the highest number of companions?
3) Which musical instrument does the second doctor play?
4) What vegetable did the fifth Doctor wear on his Lapel, and why?
5) Which part of the Tardis does the Doctor pretend is broken in order to trick his companions into going back to explore the citadel on his first visit to the Planet Skaro.
6) Who was the first Dr. Who companion to be killed off and in what episode?
7) In the 1996 TV movie which Opera does Grace get called away from in order to operate on the Doctor?
 In which year does the "end of the world" take place?
9) The Master's final incarnation has taken over two bodies so far in an attempt to sustain his own life force. What were the names of the bodies' original inhabitants?
10) Which Martial art form does the Doctor practice?
11) Which actor/actress feigned a foreign accent in order to get the part as a Doctor's companion?

Ok you guys. So how would you like your answers? Do you want them all at once? Or one a day? I thought maybe as there are ten questions and More or less ten weeks until Xmas, I could Answer the questions in order one per week thus taking us into the Xmas special where just beforehand I could do a bit of research and set up a Special Dr. Who Christmas quiz. If you have any thoughts then please put them here before Fri the 21 of October coz I will start putting the answers up on the 22nd whichever way you guys want them.
If anyone wishes to post their Guesses on the first question (only on the first one so as not to spoil it for every one) they should feel free to do so before then.

Terrible lack of guesses here for the first question and no one .....I repeat No one is prepared to vote if the quiz is too hard or too easy.
........................
hmmmmmmmmmmm. If people vote too hard or too easy then I can guide myself as to the next quiz if I make one. Do not be afraid the voting is anonymous- AT least in this land without Jelly babies I won't be able to acesss the info as to who voted and who didn't.
...........................
..........
Actuallę a Tradgedy occurred about a fortnight ago (no kidding) due to unforseen family circumstances I had to return to Ireland and flying from Germany is a bit complicated. Suffice as to say that neither Belfast Airport, Edinburgh Airport, Liverpool Airport (John Lennon), Cologne Airport or indeed WH smiths in any of the above towns happened to have a copy of the latest Dr. Who magazine. (or indeed any copy of New in Chess Weekly, NIC also a favorite of mine),
This has been going on in my life now for a number of years. It is quite an amusing game! i.e. I go to a newsagents in a major city (generally English speaking cities) and annoy the attendants by asking for a copy of Dr. WHo magazine. When they have searched for a good 10 minutes they ring around other offices and ask if they have one when they finally answer that they do not have a copy at the moment and that they are very sorry then I ask for a copy of "New in Chess" and they generally spend the next 5-15 minutes trying to oblige before they finally give up and admit that they work for a low down uncultured paper shop that could have been run by their granny becasuse as far as she is concerned specialized fan magazines are sort of "Reader's Digest" or "People's Friend knitting ensemble" which she only ever gets coz of the free Maxwell house coupons on the next to back page.
Anyway please feel free to play this game with me. But I can assure you that the best way to play is
1) Pick a Multinational Airport newsagents where thay think that they must have everything because millions of people pass through there everyday.
2) Ask at least twice a week if they have a copy of Dr. Who Magazine
3) tell them that No you are not interested in buying a DR. Who Pencil Case! even though you have five of them at home.
4) Neither are you interested in anything that they may have on Star Trek, Star wars, Buffy, Angel or any of that other Shi*e that they have plainly visible on the shelves.
5) When they have gone down to the cellar or rang around to find out if such reading is available in any other branch for purchase then ask for a copy of NIC (New in chess Magazine)
6) when they are totally exhausted and want to kill themselves you might want to pass some kind of remark such as .."Well at least you'l have some Jelly babies somewhere, can I have a couple of packs please?" or ...........I'l take 250 grams of Jelly Babies then if that's all right" and then reel around in laughter as the newsagents attendants begin to slit their wrists in an orderly fashion.
If in the unlikely event that some bewildered newsagent's attendant discovers a copy or Dr. Who Magazine behind the FHM monthly then just calmly offer to Pay in Euros and the desired effect will be achieved without further ado!
Seriously though I managed to get my hands on 1 Kilo of Jbs in a Greasy spoon near edinburgh railway station but they are all gone now. Im hoping my sister will pay me a visit at xmas wih the apporpriate sackfull. (otherwise she is not getting in the door.)
Thx 4 reading and lates have those guesses and votes please!

Next time I go to the airport I will honestly try that...
Then again... My local newsagent could stand to be brought down a peg.

Ok ladies and gentelemen (and anyone else who may be reading), its Saturday Morning time for the answers to our Dr. Who quiz. THis week its Question number one :
1) In which episode, (and which Doctor), does our hero ponder over the question; "What if I could control peoples taste buds?"
Well the answer is of course Slyvester McCoy in Episode two of Remembrance of the Daleks.
The idea of controlling peoples' taste buds comes about as our hero is asked a simple question before he drinks his mug of tea in a small empty cafeteria in London. The Mug if tea is served to him by a Jamaican Londoner. The following dialogue between the cafe attendant and the Doctor results:
Cafe attendant: "Sugar?"
Doctor: Ahh.. a decision. Would it make any difference?
Cafe attendant: It would make your tea sweet.
Doctor: ...yes but beyond the confines of my taste buds would it make any difference?
Cafe attendant: Not really
Doctor: But..
Cafe attendant Yes?
Doctor: What if I could control peoples taste buds? What if I decided that no one would take sugar? That would make a diference to all the people that sell the sugar and all those who cut the cane.
Cafe attendant: My father was a cane cutter
Doctor: Exactly. Now if no one had used sugar your father wouldn't have been a cane cutter.
Cafe attendant: If this whole sugar thing hand't have started, my great great grandfather would never have been kidnapped, chained up and brought to Kingston in the first place. I'd be a African.
Doctor: You see, every great decision creates ripples, like a huge boulder dropped into a lake. The ripples merge and rebound of the banks in unforseeable ways. The heavier the decision the larger the ripples, the more uncertain the consequences.
Cafe attendant: Life's like that, best thing to do is just to get on with it.
The entire conversation is a metaphor and serves to open a window into the doctors's thoughts and doubts about the plan to defeat the daleks which he is about to carry out. In effect, the Doctor does indeed take the Cafe attendant's advice and just "gets on with it" At the very end of the story, having tricked and defeated Davros and both Dalek factions Ace asks the Doctor..
Ace: Doctor, we did well didn't we?
and the Doctor replies...
Doctor "Perhaps, Time will tell. It always does!"
Roll the credits.
Thanks for playing and let's have your guesses for question number two before next saturday.
