Just before Christmas, we asked you a series of questions all about Stargate— oh, no, wait, it was Doctor Who, wasn’t it? Of course it was Doctor Who because this is the DWC’s BIG Doctor Who quiz.

And now, it’s finally time to reveal the answers.

But how did you do? We hope you’ve noted down all your answers, so you can tot up all your points. Then at the end of these answers, you can see what those points equate to…

How Did You Do?

Noted down how many points you’ve scored. Great! Let’s find out what this means for you…

50- 60: You are clearly destined to take your place among the immortals: the Eternals want to speak to you. They wish you to become Question Setter of the Unending Quiz, an exalted position which requires you to set quiz questions for the Eternals for ever, to ease their passage through eternity…

40- 49: An excellent score. Though you are not yet quite in the class of the Eternals, you make the grade as a Time Lord in the temporal realm. All you have to do to join the ranks of the Time Lords is to find Gallifrey, lost in the Time War, decimated by the Daleks, ravaged by the Cybermen… This search should keep you going till at least next Christmas, by which time the offer to become a Time Lord will unfortunately lapse and you will have to take the next DWC Christmas Quiz…

30- 39: A creditable score, and certainly good enough for you to become UNIT’s new scientific adviser: they need someone well versed in alien lore and their first choice as Scientific Adviser disappeared unaccountably after that regrettable affair in the London Underground…

20- 29: A worthy score. You clearly have a great future in the second rank of universal defence against alien machinations: as a Gallifreyan soldier of fortune, perhaps, or a UNIT corporal, or a red shirt on a starship in a parallel universe – the bravest of the brave, always picked first for away missions on previously unvisited alien planets…

10- 19: You show some promise but perhaps should consider directing your intellectual energies elsewhere: look at the website for the village of Devil’s End, which advertises an excellent online course in Basic Magic and Protection Spells for White Witches.

1- 9: A score as low as this clearly marks you as an alien infiltrator and we shall unmask you at once! Come on, rip off that perception filter. What are you? Jagaroth? Auton? Zygon? Stop struggling, curse you, it is useless to resist us… You are the Black Guardian? Well, of course, my lord, honoured… You wish to recruit me to destroy the Doctor? But my lord, it will be a pleasure…
