Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The Doctor in the BBC television series "Doctor Who" has had many incarnations. Who played the tenth?

Answer: David Tennant

He even has "ten" in his name! David Tennant is a life long fan of the show and his last words as the Doctor were, "I don't want to go". My Whovian daughter has informed me that it was the writer, Russel T. Davies, who did not want to leave, rather than the actor.

2. What is "The Tenth Lock" in Dudley, West Midlands?

Answer: Pub

"The Tenth Lock" pub is next to the canal in Brierley Hill, Dudley. There is a beer garden and in the summer they have a bouncy castle for the children.

3. Where in the world is the home of the "Tenth Presbyterian Church"?

Answer: Philadelphia, USA

The church was founded in 1828 and in 1981 the church joined the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) but remains independent. An active church that moves with the times, with a website and even providing web-casts for those unable to attend in person.

4. What is "The Tenth Hole" on the seafront at Southsea, Hampshire?

Answer: Tea room

The tea room is next to a nine holes golf course. It is open for breakfasts, lunches and afternoon tea.

The opposite is the case. It was almost the darkest part of the "Dark Ages", an era of very little progress.
