From Quiz
The Companions of New "Who" (2005-2014)

Rose Jones was never a companion of the Doctor but, nonetheless, he did have a companion named Martha Jones who first appeared in the first episode of series 3 titled "Smith and Jones". Clara Oswald first appeared as modern-day Clara in the second half of series 7 in the episode "The Bells of Saint John" but had also appeared as Oswin Oswald earlier in the same season in "Asylum of the Daleks" and in the 2012 Christmas special prior to the second half of series 7 labelled "The Snowmen" as Clara Oswin Oswald. River Song made her first appearance in the 2-parter "Silence in the Library" and "Forest of the Dead".

From Quiz The Life of Martha Jones

8. Whose last words include the line, "I thought I'd forgotten something important, but it's nothing"?

From Quiz Losing Friends

Answer: Zoe

Zoe says this when she is sent back to her home by the Timelords, who have wiped her memories of her adventures with the Doctor. An awful, tragic moment, in which a whole era of 'Doctor Who' is erased in an instant.

9. What was the name of Rose's boyfriend?

From Quiz Rose Tyler

Answer: Mickey

At first Rose and Mickey were very close, but they grew apart as Rose and the Doctor became better friends.

10. The Doctor and his friends encountered quite a few robots and androids. One turned out to be an undercover detective robot. What was its name?

From Quiz Who's Helpers!

Answer: D84

D84 was a supposedly "dumb" or unspeaking, robot aboard the sandminer in "The Robots of Death". It helped the Doctor and Leela. SV7 was a super-voc in the same story, while K9 became a companion. Kamelion was also a companion for a time, but was too-easily influenced and sometimes caused problems.

11. Which companion am I? My clue words are Spades and Hearts.

From Quiz Companions' Clue Words

Answer: Ace

Ace, companion to the Seventh Doctor, was from Perivale, Earth. Her real name was Dorothy. Ace was played by Sophie Aldred. Ace of Spades, Ace of Hearts.

12. The garment is a very long woolly scarf, supposedly knitted by Madam Nostradamos. Who wore this?

From Quiz Who's Style?

Answer: The Fourth Doctor

Tom Baker's Fourth Doctor wore the famous scarf in all but one of his episodes. Evidently it was never meant to be so long. Someone from Wardrobe was given some wool to knit "a scarf" and used the lot! Colin Baker's Sixth Doctor wore a similar scarf at times, but he wasn't on the list.

13. What was the trademark line the 'echoes' of Clara said before they died?

From Quiz The Companions of New "Who" (2005-2014)

Answer: Run you clever boy and remember

We first met Clara under the alias Oswin Oswald in Skaro ,which had now become an asylum for the broken and damaged Daleks. In the episode "Asylum of the Daleks". She got into the asylum on the crashed starship, Alaska where she was the Junior Entertainment Manager and had hacked into the centre of all the Dalek's knowledge and memories (also known as the hive) making her extremely useful to the trio, the Doctor, Amy and Rory, but it turned out the past year was only her imagination and the Daleks had done a full conversion on her making her a proper Dalek. Erasing the Doctor from the hive she lowered the shields allowing the planet, and her along with it, to explode while uttering the words, "Run you clever boy and remember". The next time we meet Clara she is a nanny in Victorian London and, again, becomes helpful to the Doctor and who can forget the look on the Doctor's face when she claimed the TARDIS was "smaller on the outside" instead of "bigger on the inside"? Once again though, she died saving his life uttering the words "Run you clever boy and remember" before dying, by cruel coincidence, on the stroke of midnight symbolising that Christmas day had begun.

14. What is Amy's middle name?

From Quiz Amelia Pond

Answer: Jessica

She was born Amelia Jessica Pond, but shortened her name to Amy after the Doctor said her name was very 'fairytale'.

15. What is the name of the episode that River Song first appeared in?

From Quiz River Song

Answer: Silence in the Library

She stars in episodes 8 and 9 of series 4 alongside the tenth Doctor (as played by David Tennant).

16. What was Donna's granddad called?

From Quiz Donna Noble

Answer: Wilfred

Wilf appeared as the newspaper seller in the 2007 Christmas special, "Voyage of the Damned." but the "Doctor Who" team liked the actor so much that they brought him back to replace Donna's father, whose original actor had died during filming.

17. "She'll be superb!" says the Doctor of the friend he has just left behind. Of whom is he speaking?

From Quiz Losing Friends

Answer: Romana

Romana leaves the Doctor for happy reasons, choosing to help free the enslaved race of the Tharils. But the real poignancy of her departure comes through in the wonderful dialogue, and its perfect delivery at the hands of Tom Baker. "You were the noblest Romana of them all," he says, putting his feelings aside to give her the poetic send-off she deserves.

18. What year was the first place the Doctor took Rose to?

From Quiz Rose Tyler

Answer: 5 billion

This was where we first met Cassandra, the last human who had had nearly 800 plastic surgery operations. All the other options are from other episodes- the 1940's were visited in the two-parter'The Empty Child' and 'The Doctor Dances' 2012 in the episode 'Fear Her' and the 51st century in 'Girl In The Fireplace'.

19. There was a splendid pair of characters that helped the Doctor and Leela in one story. One man was a theatre manager, the other a pathologist. Who were they?

From Quiz Who's Helpers!

Answer: Lightfoot and Jago

Trevor Baxter played Professor Litefoot, while Christopher Benjamin played Henry Gordon Jago in "The Talons of Weng-Chiang". These two were wonderful, and the sight of the refined Lightfoot eating a joint of meat in his hands so as not to make Leela feel bad-mannered was priceless. Reuben and Josh were two characters from "The Horror of Fang Rock", Andrews and Sullivan were the names of Ian Marter's two characters in the show, and Baker was the surname of two actors who played the Doctor, the surname of writers Pip and Jane, and also the name of the street where Sherlock Holmes lived. Holmes was Rober Holmes, who wrote the script of "Talons". Easy, right?

20. In 'Terror of the Zygons', Sarah is attacked in a barn by someone she thought she could trust. Who is it that this zygon resembles?

From Quiz The Magical Moments of Sarah Jane Smith

Answer: Harry

The poor zygon-Harry plummets pitchfork in hand off the upper level, and ends up flailing around on the bottom of the barn before dying, and then vanishing.

21. One of the Doctor's companions wore a peculiar Andy Pandy outfit in one of her stories. Who was it?

From Quiz Who's Style?

Answer: Sarah Jane Smith in "The Hand of Fear"

Sarah Jane, played by Elisabeth Sladen, was the unlucky girl to masquerade as Andy Pandy. "The Hand of Fear" was her last "regular" appearance. (She was in "The Five Doctors" special and also in "K9 and Company".)

22. In what order did these companions FIRST meet the Doctor?

From Quiz The Companions of New "Who" (2005-2014)

Answer: Rose, Donna, Martha, Amy, Clara

Although Donna wasn't the Doctor's "full-time" companion until series 4, and Martha was his companion the year before, Donna first met the Doctor on Christmas eve in 2006 when she appeared in the TARDIS in a wedding dress as she was walking down the aisle at her wedding ceremony. In the end she turned down the chance to travel with the Doctor but soon learnt that turning down that opportunity was a stupid mistake and went looking for him only to reunite with him a bit over a year later at Adipose Industries.

23. What was the dish that the Doctor ate the first time he met Amy?

From Quiz Amelia Pond

Answer: Fish fingers and custard

The Doctor found fish fingers and custard in Amy's house, and ate them to regain strength after the regeneration process.

24. What did River Song graffiti on the oldest cliff in the universe to attract the Doctor's attention?

From Quiz River Song

Answer: Hello Sweetie

"You graffitied the oldest cliff in the universe!" "You wouldn't answer your phone!" - Eleventh Doctor and River Song in 'The Pandorica Opens'.

25. What was Amy's aunt called?

From Quiz Amy Pond

Answer: Sharon

Aunt Sharon is mentioned in "The Eleventh Hour" but she first appears in "The Big Bang."

26. The Doctor has a habit of kissing his companions for strange reasons. Which three companions did he share kisses with for life-saving reasons?

From Quiz New Series Companion Trivia

Answer: Donna Noble, Rose Tyler, Martha Jones

In season 4 episode "The Unicorn and the Wasp," Donna kissed the Doctor in order to save him from dying of poison. In the bittersweet finale of season 1, "The Parting of the Ways," the ninth Doctor kissed Rose in order to save her by absorbing the time vortex from her. In season 3's "Smith and Jones," the Doctor kissed Martha in order to give himself enough time to escape from the Judoon, who were planning to kill anyone with alien DNA.

27. Which companion departs the show with the statement, "Now I'll never know if I was right"?

From Quiz Losing Friends

Answer: Adric

A more classic moment of tragic understatement would be hard to find in the series. Adric says this just before he dies saving Earth through his brilliant calculations. As the credits roll, we see not the usual starry background, but a shot of Adric's badge for mathematical excellence, smashed on the TARDIS floor. This is the only 'Doctor Who' episode that played the credits without any sound.

28. What was the name of Rose's mum?

From Quiz Rose Tyler

Answer: Jackie

Jackie was a very entertaining character, she was quite shallow but cared a lot about her daughter.

29. Which companion am I? My word clues are Halloween, and True Lies. First name only.

From Quiz Companions' Clue Words

Answer: Jamie

Jamie McCrimmon was a companion to the second Doctor. Played by Frazer Hines, he shares his name with Jamie Lee Curtis, who starred in the films "Halloween" and "True Lies".

30. Who wore a school uniform for at least one story?

From Quiz Who's Style?

Answer: Turlough

Vislor Turlough (played by Mark Strickson) was pretending to be a public school boy in his first story, "Mawdryn Undead". He was at first a traitor infiltrating the Doctor's Tardis, but later became a friend.
