Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the title of the first episode of series 8?

Answer: Deep Breath

It is named after the section of the episode which sees the protagonists holding their breaths to avoid detection by killer Clockwork Droids.

2. How does Gretchen Alison Carlisle die?

Answer: vaporized by Dalek antibody

After her death, she reappears in 'heaven' and is greeted by the mysterious Missy.

3. What metal is needed to restart the Knight's ships?

Answer: gold

The Doctor, Clara and Robin fire a golden arrow at the ship, causing a power surge, to avoid the impending explosion from happening too close to Earth. It reaches orbit before detonating.

7. What popular social networking site do Courtney and Lundvik's grandmother both use?

Answer: Tumblr

Many viewers have noticed that - if the date and Lundvik's apparent age are to be believed - it is likely Lundvik herself is the right age at the right time to use Tumblr. This is a maths problem amongst many science mistakes in an episode notorious for them.

This is the amount of time the Foretold takes to move their victims out of phase and drain their energy.
