'Dr Who' - The Adversaries Trivia Questions
1. The Mara enters Tegan's mind when she falls asleep where?

From Quiz I Am the Mara

Answer: Under wind chimes

The wind chimes are the first sign that the Doctor and his companions have not come to a primitive planet. While the Doctor and Adric wander off, Tegan falls asleep - the Kinda people find her and leave fruit and flowers around her. The Kinda built the chimes, but the Mara uses them to creep into unwary minds...

2. Which incarnation of the Doctor was the first to meet the Cybermen on-screen?

From Quiz Commitment to Excellence

Answer: first

The first Doctor, played by William Hartnell, was the first to meet the Cybermen in the serial "The Tenth Planet", which also served as the final story for the first Doctor. In this story, the Cybermen tried to stop the energy drain on Mondas (the Cybermen's home planet). Mondas was low on energy, so the Cybermen there were absorbing energy from Earth. Once that was done, the Cybermen planned to use a bomb to destroy Earth before Mondas was destroyed. However, with the Doctor's help, the bomb doesn't detonate and Mondas was destroyed. However, this was far from the last time the Cybermen and the Doctor would meet.

3. Which hairy creatures inhabit the planet Metebelis Three?

From Quiz The Doctor's Greatest Rivals

Answer: Spiders

In "Planet Of The Spiders," it is revealed that a race of abnormally large spiders occupy the planet of Metebelis Three.

8. When possessed by the Mara, Tegan's and Aris's mouths turn what color?

From Quiz I Am the Mara

Answer: Reddish-pink

The actors chewed dental disclosure tablets, which stain plaque and tongues red, to get this effect. In Tegan's dreams, the other figures she encounters are primarily white, though the snakes which appear on their arms are red.

9. Which object was the Black Guardian trying to own?

From Quiz The Black Guardian

Answer: The Key to Time

During the sixteenth season, all serials were loosely connected to one another.

With the Key to Time assembled and in the hands of the Black Guardian, the balance of the universe would become unstable.

From Quiz I Am the Mara

Answer: Time

According to Panna, time causes change in civilization, which causes suffering and death and eventually leads to the end of that civilization. When the Mara leaves, peace will return to the Kinda. For the Kinda, speech is a sign of wisdom--mostly, they speak telepathically.

15. Who was the first of the Doctor's companions to meet the Black Guardian?

From Quiz The Black Guardian

Answer: Romana

Romana (when she was in her first incarnation) met the Black Guardian in "The Armageddon Factor". The Black Guardian tried to convince her and the Doctor to hand over the Key to Time, but the Doctor refused. The Black Guardian left but not before promising the Doctor that he will die for this. It was Romana's only time meeting the Black Guardian, since she would leave before the Black Guardian would encounter the Doctor again.

This is of course in 'Vengeance on Varos'. In an uncharacteristically violent display, the Doctor later sets a trap for two of the baddies in this story, luring them towards the tendrils and killing them. He also allows other characters to be gratuitously shot and drowned in an acid bath. Nasty!

19. In 'The Moonbase' (1967), The Cybermen cause a plague to afflict the inhabitants. Where was the source of the plague located in?

From Quiz Cybermen

Answer: Sugar

Since not everyone takes sugar, not everyone was infected. The Cybermen planned to invade the Moonbase and to use the weather controlling equipment inside (called the 'Gravitron'), against the Earth.

21. According to Karuna, where does the Mara come from?

From Quiz I Am the Mara

Answer: The Dark Places of the Inside

The Mara can manifest when a person dreams alone, so among the Kinda, sleeping alone near the chimes is forbidden. If the Doctor hadn't left Tegan alone, she wouldn't have dreamed and allowed the Mara to enter the real world.

22. In which story was the Cybermen's weakness to gold first mentioned?

From Quiz Commitment to Excellence

Answer: Revenge of the Cybermen

"Revenge of the Cybermen" was when it was learned that the Cybermen had a weakness to gold. In this story, the Cybermen's plan was to destroy Voga, the planet of gold, so the people of Voga couldn't use the gold against the Cybermen. To exploit this weakness, a person had to press gold into the Cybermen's chest. This would cause the Cybermen to slow down and eventually die of suffocation. In later serials, it became easier to use the gold to stop the Cybermen to the point where throwing a gold coin would instantly cause death (although there were stories in which this weakness was not mentioned and thus the Cybermen were defeated in other ways).

23. In "The Armageddon Factor", why did the Doctor suspect the White Guardian was not who he claimed to be?

From Quiz The Black Guardian

Answer: His lack of concern over Princess Astra

Near the end of "The Armageddon Factor", the White Guardian appeared on the screen, congratulated the Doctor, and asked for the Key to Time. Princess Astra was one of the six segments to the key; however, the White Guardian wasn't concerned about this fact. This tipped the Doctor off that the White Guardian wasn't who he said he was. It was the Black Guardian who was disguising himself as the White Guardian, so he would be able to own the Key to Time.

24. Which fish-like creatures occupy the planet of Messaline?

From Quiz The Doctor's Greatest Rivals

Answer: Hath

In "The Doctor's Daughter," it is revealed that the Hath have been at war with the Humans for seven days. They communicate through gurgling.

25. Which creature took over the Ood's bodies and voices?

From Quiz "Doctor Who" 5 (2005-2007)

Answer: The Beast

The embodiment of pure evil, the Beast was trapped in the centre of a planet balanced on the edge of a black hole.

26. In 'The Seeds of Doom', the Doctor figures out that the Antarctic scientist Winlett is turning into a plant when he observes the presence of 'schizophytes'. Where does the Doctor see these objects?

From Quiz When Plants Attack!

Answer: In a slide of Winlett's blood

The Doctor's term 'schizophyte' is an archaic one, referring to the microorganisms we might now call cyanobacteria or, more commonly, blue-green algae. Winlett has these in his blood instead of blood platelets, as the Doctor and the botanist Stevenson can see through a microscope.

27. 'Tomb of the Cybermen' (1967) features the first appearence of what metal 'pets' controlled by the Cybermen?

From Quiz Cybermen

Answer: Cybermats

They later appeared in 'The Wheel in Space' (1968), and 'Revenge of the Cybermen' (1975).

28. How many 'balls' (hemispheres) encircle the base of the average 1960s' Dalek?

From Quiz The Daleks

Answer: 56

Fourteen panels with four balls on each.

29. Posing under the name of Count Scarlioni, I stole the Mona Lisa to finance my time experiments.

From Quiz 'Doctor Who' Baddies

Answer: Scaroth

Marvelously played by Julian Glover.

30. The Doctor defeats the Mara by trapping it inside a circle of what?

From Quiz I Am the Mara

Answer: Mirrors

Evil can't stand to look at itself. Seeing its reflections reflected on itself, the Mara leaves Aris and manifests as a giant snake before exploding into pinkish light. Tegan looks at the snake through the gaps in the mirrors - perhaps this is why the Mara lingers in her head. "Kinda" is one of the "Doctor Who" serials that, on some DVD releases, contains re-done CGI for some effects shots. The Mara snake was done with puppetry originally; on DVD, the viewer has the option to watch either the original broadcast version or the CGI effects.
