themidnightgirlYou should do the poll quiz here before reading below... http://www.livejournal.com/users/borusa/217221.html#cutid1
1. Nasty little question this. The answer, surprisingly is Vicki. Susan claims to have invented the acronym, but in the Unearthly Child she says it stands for "Time and Relative Dimension in Space". Vicki says it's "Time and Relative Dimensions in Space" in The Meddling Monk.
2. Ben and Polly were the companions at the time of the first regeneration, in The Tenth Planet.
3. Much as Uncle Tewwance likes to believe he's responsible for all Dr. Who, it was in fact Kit Pedler who invented the Cybermen. Terry Nation invented the Daleks, Blakes Seven and Survivors, so hardly has a poor record. Holmes was one of the best TV writers ever, and penned several series including Bergerac.
4. Invasion of Time. It has Leela and an inflatable thingy in it. Very dubious.
5. Regrettably, it's Dobbin the pantomime horse from Rentaghost. It had the same people inside it, and they hadn't made rehearsal, so this thing is clattering around walking into scenery. It's so bad...I have to hide.
Anyone who suggested that the classic series _ever_ had a budget that could produce something that looked "strikingly like" the Giger Aliens is sentenced to watching The Invisible Enemy. That's a prawn on wheels my friend, and don't you forget it.
6. Death. Seeds of, City of, Ambassadors of and to the Daleks. We've got Seeds of Doom, and Evil of the Daleks (not to mention Planet of Evil and Mind of Evil). We've got Revenge of the Cybermen, but that's about it.
7. John Noakes. Lots of people got this right. Janet Ellis played Teka in The Horns of The Nimon, Peter Purves played Steven, a companion from The Chase to The Savages, Sarah Green played Varne in Attack of The Cybermen (one of the Cryons...) and Chloe Ashcroft is less than entirely convincing in Resurrection of the Daleks.
8. False. It's not until very late that the credits change to be "The Doctor". Of course, he's only referred to as "Doctor Who" _in_ an episode once.
9. Alexei Sayle. John Cleese appears in City of Death. None of the others have been.
10. This was a horrible trick question - it's Peter Davidson. Of the others, Trevor Martin played him in the original stage show, David Banks stood in for Jon Pertwee in the second stage show (Ultimate Adventure). Peter Cushing played the Doctor in the two 1960s films and Richard Hurndall stood in for Hartnell in "The Five Doctors". Peter Davison, of course, played the fifth Doctor.
