From Quiz What the 11th Doctor Did Next

Answer: He traveled back in time to change Kazran's personality.

The Doctor turned up in Kazran's bedroom when he was a young boy. The older Kazran felt his memories changing as the Doctor introduced him to a fish of 'big colour'. They also awakened Abigail from cryogenesis and celebrated Christmas over and over again in lots of different ways.

From Quiz Night and The Doctor

Answer: Goldfish

The Doctor is in a hostage crisis involving an alien warrior chief. The aliens have turned the Queen of England into a goldfish. The Doctor is trying to negotiate over the phone, while also dealing with the Prince of Wales, who wants to talk with his mother. The alien warrior is a fly, which Amy smashes with a blueprint. In the end, it turns out the Doctor also has the wrong fish.

From Quiz Night and The Doctor

Answer: A tuxedo

The Doctor is dressed in black tie and tails, and indicates he has been at a party. Under pressure from Amy, he admits that he was at the party with River Song. Rory Williams can be seen in the Roman centurion outfit in "The Pandorica Opens", "The Big Bang" and "A Christmas Carol". The long black leather coat is a trademark of the Ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston).

Answer: He cut his hand to make the Siren take him too.

The Siren was a futuristic automated doctor who was trying to cure human illnesses and injuries. Rory was drowning in the ocean when the Siren rescued him and put him on a life support machine on her own ship. The only way the Doctor, Amy, and the Captain could get onboard to save their friends was to injure themselves.

From Quiz Night and The Doctor

Answer: The Corsair

The 'mail' was a Time Lord distress signal. The Doctor was excited that there might have been another of his species left, but wary because he knew there probably wasn't. The TARDIS crew ventured off into a bubble universe to save the lost Time Lords. As well as the Corsair, the Doctor tried to save Idris, Amy, Rory, Auntie, Uncle, and Nephew ('Another Ood I failed to save...').

From Quiz Night and The Doctor

Answer: A euphonium

Amy specifically states that it is a euphonium. The euphonium, a valved brass instrument similar to a tuba, was invented in Germany in the 1840s. There is dispute over who invented the first euphonium. The name comes from Greek, meaning "pleasant sound". Just as in "Bad Night", the Doctor is wearing a tuxedo, implying he has been at a party.

From Quiz Night and The Doctor

Answer: Calderon Beta

Calderon Beta is "boring" according to the Doctor except for September 21, 2360 when you can see more stars in the sky than at any other time in the history of the universe. Alfava Metraxis is where the Byzantium lands in the episode "The Time of Angels". It is where Amy and River meet for the first time (at least as the episodes were aired... it's complicated). Darillium is the planet the Doctor takes River to on their very last date, right before she goes to The Library. Stormcage is the site of the maximum security prison where River is locked up, until she escapes with the help of the Doctor.

Answer: He tried to rescue Melody Pond.

'River Song' was a translation of 'Melody Pond', Amy and Rory's daughter. The Doctor attempted to find Melody and bring her back to her parents, but he was unable to find her. It didn't matter too much because in 'Let's Kill Hitler' it turned out that Amy's best friend, Mels, was actually her daughter, Melody! Both Amy and Rory had played a big role in Melody's upbringing through being childhood friends.

From Quiz Night and The Doctor

Answer: A nostalgic idiot

The episode ends with the Doctor holding an unconscious River in his arms. An alternate River is in the wardrobe, presumably changing into the dress seen at the start of the episode.

From Quiz Night and The Doctor

Answer: A gold evening gown

River's dress, which is first seen in "First Night", is a shiny gold. River sees the dress and thinks the Doctor is cheating on her, and goes looking for the floozy he is hiding. River is wearing a space suit when we first meet her in "Silence in the Library" and once again in "The Impossible Astronaut" (major spoiler there). River is wearing the denim outfit when we first see her in "The Impossible Astronaut". She is wearing the parka during "The Pandorica Opens". It is almost impossible to define River's fashion sense, because she has dressed differently in almost every episode.

From Quiz Night and The Doctor

Answer: 3 & three

There are three Rivers in this episode, each from different points in time. The youngest is River on the first night of her stay in prison. The oldest River and the Doctor head off to the Singing Towers of Darillium, which is shortly before the events in "Silence in the Library" take place. The two Doctors share a meaningful look, as both know what the future holds. Three versions of River turns out to be too much, even for the Doctor, and he uses the vortex manipulator to zap one of them back to Stormcage.

From Quiz What the 11th Doctor Did Next

Answer: Craig Owens

The Doctor visited Craig, who first appeared in 'The Lodger'. He arrived at Craig's new house to say goodbye, but noticed a problem with the electricity in the area. After some investigation he uncovered a Cyberman spaceship buried beneath a department store.

From Quiz Night and The Doctor

Answer: Craig and Sophie

Craig and Sophie first appear in "The Lodger" and return for "Closing Time". In both episodes, Craig's love helps defeat aliens who are attempting to take over the world. The mini-episode is set the night before "Closing Time" and Craig is fretting about his abilities as a father. Dorium and Madame Kovarian first appear in "A Good Man Goes to War" and reappear in the season finale "The Wedding of River Song". FBI agent Canton Everett Delaware III and President Richard Nixon feature prominently in "The Impossible Astronaut" and "Day of the Moon". Mels and the Teselecta are both seen in "Let's Kill Hitler". Mels has a brief stay, because she regenerates into River Song. The Teselecta is a law enforcement robot which also makes a brief (and very important) appearance in "The Wedding of River Song".

From Quiz Night and The Doctor

Answer: Steven Moffat

Moffat, who has served as executive producer and written multiple episodes of "Doctor Who", wrote "Good Night", "Bad Night", "First Night" and "Last Night". Tom MacRae wrote "Up All Night". Richard Senior was the director for the first four mini-episodes. Wenger was one of the producers at the BBC who supervised the project. James Corden is the actor who plays Craig Owens, seen in mini-episode 5, "Up All Night".
