Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In what year did the first scene take place?

Answer: 1812

Mary was a nineteenth century prostitute. She became possessed by an alien being from Arcateen 5 and had to tear out people's hearts to live.

2. Which of these is not something Jack found traces of in the transporter?

Answer: Dyroxide

Torchwood obtained the transporter from a building site. According to Toshiko, it had been there for 196 years and 11 to 11 and a half months.

3. Toshiko spent eight years in Osaka during her childhood.

Answer: False

Toshiko was born in London in 1975 and moved to Osaka two years later. She moved back to the UK in 1986 and went to university. She worked at a government science think-tank for eight years and was recruited to the Cardiff branch of Torchwood in 2003.

4. When Toshiko was listening to the thoughts of her colleagues, which team member was thinking about the fact that they wanted a biscuit?

Answer: Owen

Toshiko wore the pendant she was given by Mary at work and listened to her colleagues' deepest thoughts. Afterwards, she believed that they did not like her and that they pitied her.

5. In which month is Toshiko's birthday?

Answer: July

Toshiko still has her birthday card from Owen on her dresser, as she has loved him ever since he joined Torchwood. She also has a photo of him stuck to her fridge.

6. Who gave Neil's ex-wife 90 minutes at a tanning salon as a wedding present?

Answer: Kelly

Neil planned to kill his ex-wife and their son because he was upset that she had a new partner. Toshiko heard his thoughts and was able to save them this fate.

7. What did Gwen call Owen when she was laughing at him in the autopsy bay?

Answer: Amanda Burton

Gwen was making fun of Owen because his "initial conclusions" were so different to the results of the postmortem on the skeleton. He got the gender and cause of death wrong. In fact, the only thing he got right in his prognosis was that it was a skeleton!

8. What was the name of the island that Philoctetes was marooned on during the Trojan War?

Answer: Lemnos

Mary compares herself to Philoctetes when telling Toshiko that she is a political prisoner. It turned out that Mary was actually a criminal who was exiled to Earth two centuries ago.

9. What does Michael Hamilton claim to see outside his mother's house?

Answer: Cybermen

Gwen says that she will phone Social Services to check if his family has a history of mental illness. However, she is more preoccupied with the fact that Owen seems to be refusing to look at her.

10. Mary had to rip out a human heart every two years to feed her new form.

Answer: False

Mary had to pluck out a heart annually to survive. All the postmortem results from those deaths were passed to Operation Lowry. Thanks for playing my seventh 'Torchwood' quiz. I hope you enjoyed it!
