Answer: David Tennant

"Doctor Who?" was first broadcast in 1963. The premise was of a 'time lord' who could travel in space and time and was frequently called upon to save Earth from various foes and disasters. The Time Lord had the ability to regenerate into a new body, thus creating the scope for different actors to play the same character. David Tennant played the doctor over three series from 2005 to 2010. Tom Baker was the fourth doctor and Paul McGann the eighth. James Nesbitt has never played the doctor. In 2017, there was much consternation among fans when it was announced that Jodie Whittaker was to be the 13th doctor and was...a woman!

Answer: Jane Austen

The new 'polymer' note - it is a sort of plastic - was designed to be longer lasting than notes printed on paperstock. It also had enhanced security details aimed towards preventing forgery. By the time it was launched in September 2017, 275 million notes had been printed. Austen may well have been alarmed to know that what she could buy for £10 in 1817 would be worth just 13 pence when the note was launched. Great Britain already had a polymer £5 note, which featured Winston Churchill. The first UK polymer note was that launched in 1999 by the Northern Bank in Belfast. The pioneers of polymer notes were the Australians, who introduced them in 1988.

Answer: Both

Fly-half and First Five-Eight are the same positions, named differently in different countries. In rugby, players are divided into a group of forwards and a group of backs. Early in rugby's development, it was found that it was advantageous to have a player/players as a link between the forwards and the backs - a half back/half forward. They became Half Backs. In the northern hemisphere (from Wales), one of the Half Backs was made to stand wider and run at the opposition after a short pass - he was the flying Half Back (later shortened to Fly Half). Other back positions were Full Back (standing behind everyone), and between the Half Backs and the Full Back stood Three Quarter Backs (Centre 3/4's and Wing 3/4's). In New Zealand, they named the players between the Half Back and 3/4's differently. Naturally, if they were between a half (4/8ths) and three quarters (6/8ths), they would be a 5/8th. There were two of these players here, so one became the First Five-Eighth and one was the Second Five-Eighth. Complicated... Submitted by AdjNZ
