3. Which companion did the Doctor first meet in America 2012?

Answer: Adam

Adam met the Doctor in the 2005 episode 'Dalek', but left the TARDIS at the end of the next episode 'The Long Game'. The Doctor met Peri in Lanzarote 1985 ('The Planet of Fire'), he met Jack in 1940s London ('The Empty Child') and Viki on the planet Dido in 2493 ('The Rescue').
4. Which century was the second Doctor's companion Jamie McCrimmon from?

Answer: 18th century

The Doctor rescued highland Jamie from the battle of Culloden in 18th century Scotland in the 1966 episode, 'The Highlanders', at the end of which Polly asks if Jamie can join them, Jamie is very pleased at the suggestion, and the Doctor agrees as long as Jamie will teach him to play the bagpipes, though when Jamie finds a set of bagpipes in a trunk in the TARDIS later on, the Doctor doesn't seem too pleased.
5. Which of the following companions wore a school uniform for at least one of their stories?

Answer: Turlough

When the Doctor first meets Turlough in 'Mawdryn Undead', he is attending an English school (where The Brigadier teaches Maths) and is wearing his uniform.
6. Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stuart has met the Doctor in his first eight regenerations.

Answer: true

He met the first Doctor in 'The Five Doctors', the second Doctor in 'The Web of Fear', 'The Invasion', 'The Three Doctors' and 'The Five Doctors'. He then became a regular during the third Doctor's era. He was a semi-regular during the fourth Doctor's time in the TARDIS and he met the fifth Doctor in 'The Five Doctors' and 'Mawdryn Undead'. Brigadier didn't appear again until the seventh Doctor's era, he met the sixth Doctor in the Children in Need special 'Doctor Who: Dimensions in Time'.

He met the seventh Doctor in 'Battlefield' and, though he didn't meet the eighth Doctor on screen, their paths have crossed in Big Finish audio adventures.
7. Which companion travelled with the Doctor for the most individual episodes?

Scottish highlander Jamie travelled with the Doctor for 116 episodes ('The Highlanders' to 'The War Games', 'The Two Doctors').

8. Which companion took general science at A level but, "didn't say she passed"?

Answer: Jo

When Jo met The Doctor ('Terror of the Autons'), she is very quick to tell him that she took general science at A level. She later makes a silly scientific blunder, at which point the Doctor says to her "I thought you took general science at A level." to which Jo responds, "but I didn't say I passed".

Liz was a physics expert, Peri's field was botany and though Ace was going to take science at A level, she didn't get to take her them before she was whisked away in a freak time storm.
9. Who was the first companion to be 'expelled' from the TARDIS by The Doctor for bad behaviour?

Answer: Adam

Adam was kicked out of the TARDIS by The Doctor at the end of 'The Long Game' after he disobeyed the Doctor.

Tegan and Turlough left the TARDIS of their own accord, Zoe was forced to leave by the Time Lords.
10. Which companion worked as an air hostess?

Answer: Tegan

Tegan was on her way to Heathrow when she mistook the TARDIS for a real Police Box. The TARDIS took of with her still onboard, and then the Doctor spent the next series trying to get her back there. When he actually makes it, he and Nyssa leave Tegan behind, but she reappears in the next episode claiming to have lost her job.

Neither Leela nor Adric seemed to have had jobs, and Ace worked as a waitress on Iceworld.
