Look out for my next quiz coming soon!
| The first episode in the revived series was called "Rose". In it, plastic mannequins all over the world were 'coming to life' and attacking people. What was the name of the monster who was animating them? | "Doctor Who" 2005-2007
|
The Nestene Consciousness. The Nestene Consciousness and the Autons were in the original run of the series and were revived for the new series because they could be kept in the background of the story, rather that driving it, and the episode could focus on the Doctor meeting Rose Tyler.
| In the following episode "The End Of The World", the Doctor and Rose go and watch the sun expand and see the end of the world. What does the Doctor call the year, apart from the year five billion? | "Doctor Who" 2005-2007
|
5.5/apple/26. The Doctor refers to year as 5.5/apple/26. It is unknown how this year numbering system works.
| In the episodes "Aliens of London"/ "World War III" the Slitheen family are behind it all. What is the name of the planet the Slitheen family come from? | "Doctor Who" 2005-2007
|
Raxacoricofallapatorius. Raxacoricofallapatorius, the planet which the Slitheen originate from, is one of the few really tongue twisting names in "Doctor Who", the other being 'The Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe'. In the episode "Love and Monsters" we find out that Raxacoricofallapatorius' sister planet is 'Clom'. Interestingly, every time Raxacoricofallapatorius is mentioned on the "Doctor Who" DVD's it is misspelt as 'Rexicoricophallivatorius'.

| In the episode "Utopia," there is a character called 'Professor Yana'. By the end of this episode, you find out that 'YANA' is an acrostic of something. What is it? | "Doctor Who" 2005-2007
|
You Are Not Alone. "You Are Not Alone" were the last words uttered by 'The Face of Boe'. It is later revealed that 'Yana' stands for "You Are Not Alone". This is a significant plot point for the last three episodes ("Utopia", "The Sound of Drums" and "The Last of the Time Lords") because Professor Yana is the Master hidden, in the year 100 trillion, as a human.
