Listen Trivia Quiz

Answer: Pufferfish

By himself in the TARDIS, the Doctor wonders why "we talk out loud when we know we're alone". He mentions that evolution has perfected survival skills, writing these on a blackboard. We see him in a tree, looking at a lioness take down a wildebeest as an example of a perfect hunter.

He is then at the bottom of the ocean, looking out from the TARDIS at a pufferfish, deeming that to be something that exhibits perfect defence. The Doctor then asks, "Why is there no such thing as perfect hiding?" If such a creature existed, perfectly created by evolution to remain hidden, there would be no way of knowing if it actually existed. Putting down his piece of chalk, he then wonders what would happen if, suddenly, you "chose to speak aloud". "What would such a creature want? What would it do?" he asks.

He turns round to pick up the chalk again, and it is not where he left it. Instead, it rolls toward him on the floor before he notices that "LISTEN" has been written on the blackboard.

Answer: Twenty-three

At first, the two are joking about work and about how one of Clara's students couldn't concentrate because she thought Clara's face was too wide. Clara jokingly says, "I could kill that girl some days," and Danny agrees. Still laughing, she then says, "From you, that would mean something." Danny then seems visibly taken aback because of Clara's reference to his time as a soldier.

He then goes on to point out that he dug twenty-three wells in his time, saving villages and people, "people I didn't shoot, people I kept safe." The argument then escalates and the date ends with Clara getting up and leaving.

Answer: West Country Children's Home

When Clara returns home from her date, she finds the Doctor and the TARDIS in her bedroom. The pair enter the TARDIS and the Doctor explains his theory that everyone, at some point in their life, has had the same dream: that something is underneath their bed.

After asking if Clara has ever had that dream, the Doctor gets her to interface with the TARDIS (by placing her hands into the console) so it can extrapolate her entire timeline and pinpoint the exact time and place that she had that dream. This relies on Clara focusing clearly on when she had the dream and the details of it, without getting distracted. Of course, Clara does have a brief flash of distraction when her phone rings and she immediately thinks of Danny calling her.

The TARDIS arrives at its destination and the Doctor announces that they have arrived at the West Country Children's Home in Gloucester in the mid-1990s.

Answer: He doesn't like "Rupert"

After the Doctor goes inside the children's home, Clara sees a little boy looking out of one of the windows. He waves and she is reminded of Danny's wave when she first arrived on their date. Clara asks what the boy's name is and he replies with, "Rupert". Clara is relieved, thinking her brief moment of distraction has not led them to a place connected with Danny Pink, but Rupert says, "Rupert Pink is a stupid name." Clara disagrees, saying she knows someone with the surname Pink. Rupert then points out that it's the name "Rupert" that he dislikes and that he's "going to change it".

Answer: Wally

Clara tries to reassure Rupert that there is nothing under his bed and that there's nothing to be afraid of by going underneath it herself. When the two of them are under, something sits on the bed, making the mattress sink slightly. Cautiously, they both emerge from underneath and see something covered in one of Rupert's blankets.

As Clara wonders if it is one of the other children in the home, the Doctor flicks on a light in the corner. He begins flicking through a book, complaining that he can't find Wally. Rupert points out that it isn't a "Where's Wally?" book.

Answer: Orange spacesuit

Appearing to reconcile, Clara jokes that she doesn't like her surname (Oswald) and Danny does the same about his surname. Clara says she likes it and Danny says she's welcome to it. She then says, "Mind you, Rupert Pink?" and Danny is taken aback for the second time that night, wondering how Clara knows that's his real name and if she's making fun of him.

He also notices that she's not wearing her coat (which she put on just before leaving the first time) and demands an explanation because things are getting weird and he doesn't "do weird". Someone dressed in an orange spacesuit (very reminiscent of the one the Doctor wore in "The Impossible Planet" and several episodes after that) beckons to Clara from the kitchen, with the TARDIS in the background. Danny leaves and Clara, annoyed, follows the spacesuit-wearing person into the TARDIS.

The person inside takes their helmet off and he looks exactly like Danny (albeit with a different hairstyle). The Doctor reveals that it is, in fact, Colonel Orson Pink, a figure from one hundred years into Clara's future.

Answer: "Don't open the door"

With the TARDIS apparently "recharging" for the night after its trip to the last planet at the end of the universe, the Doctor and Clara sit in the base to see if there really is something else out there, despite the Doctor stating that there is no one left in the universe.

The light changes and writing on the locked door reveals itself. Clara wonders where it came from, with the Doctor pointing out that it was always there and "only visible in the night lights". It was written by Orson to remind himself at night not to open it, fearful that there is something out there. Spurred on by his curiosity that there might be creatures who live to hide, the Doctor unlocks the door and orders Clara to go into the safety of the TARDIS. Something on the outside begins to open it and Clara watches on the TARDIS console's screen.

Answer: A barn

Clara exits the TARDIS and finds herself in a barn at nighttime. She hears the sobbing of a child and finds someone huddled underneath a blanket on a bed. She says "Rupert" but gets no response, and "Orson" gets the same reaction (or lack thereof). Before she can get close enough to see who the child is, two people, a man and a woman, enter the barn and Clara quickly hides underneath the bed.

The woman says to the boy that he doesn't have to sleep out here and that he's very welcome to come back inside the house.

The man says it's no good that the boy cries all the time and runs away if he's to join the army. He then says, "Well, he's not going to the academy, is he, that boy? He'll never make a Time Lord." Clara then realises that the boy is the Doctor as a child and that the TARDIS has taken her to Gallifrey.

Answer: Sontarans

While Clara is outside in the barn, the Doctor wakes up suddenly and says to Orson, "Sontarans perverting the course of human history!" (a reference to the Fourth Doctor's first words) before realising he's confused and wants to know where Clara is. His shouting from within the TARDIS startles the young Doctor in the barn and he swings his legs over the edge of the bed in an attempt to get up and see what's going on. Wanting to stop him before he finds out, Clara reaches forward from under the bed and grabs the child's ankle, suddenly becoming aware that she has become the thing that the Doctor fears: the something under the bed.

Answer: True

Before she goes back into the TARDIS and orders the Doctor to fly the TARDIS out of there, Clara sits on the young Doctor's bed and tells him that one day he will return to that barn when he will be very afraid (a direct reference to the War Doctor intending to end the Time War by using the Moment, along with a brief scene featuring the War Doctor from "The Day of the Doctor"). Clara reassures him that if he's "very wise or very strong, fear doesn't have to make your cruel or cowardly. Fear can make you kind." As a way of making sure the Doctor remembers that there is nothing wrong with fear and being afraid, she puts the little toy soldier next to the bed.

This refers back to when she was talking to Rupert in his bedroom and she said that the toy soldier (which lacks a gun) is in charge because he's "a soldier so brave, he doesn't need a gun", seemingly referring to the Doctor as well.
