Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The TARDIS control password is the name of the Doctor's home planet. What is the correct password?

Answer: Gallifrey

Gallifrey is the home planet of the Time Lords, of whom the Doctor is the last. The planet has been described as having 'bright, silver-leafed trees and a burnt orange sky at night', and 'vast mountain ranges, with fields of deep red grass, capped with snow.' It is also known as the 'Shining World of the Seven Systems'.

2. On your way to the Dalek hideout, you research your enemy, Dalek Caan, in the TARDIS database. He is the last of which cult?

Answer: The Cult of Skaro

The Cult of Skaro is an elite order of Daleks recruited by the Dalek Emperor to think of new ways to destroy their enemies, and to survive. The members of the Cult were all commanders of different sections of the Dalek Army before they were promoted by the Emperor to a rank which supersedes that of the Emperor himself.

3. When the Doctor met Caan at the end of 'Evolution of the Daleks', what happened between them?

Answer: The Doctor offered Caan help, but he ignored.

At the end of 'Evolution of the Daleks', the Doctor tells Caan he has seen one genocide today (that of the failed Dalek humans), and that he does not wish to see another, he adds that he is probably the only person in the universe who would show Caan compassion. Caan responds by vanishing without a word.

4. The TARDIS lands, and a monitor tells you you are in Gallifrey! The Doctor believed the planet was destroyed in which historical event?

Answer: The Time War

The Last Great Time War was a devastating war between the Time Lords and the Daleks which resulted in the destruction of both races. It has been revealed that the Doctor was responsible for the destruction of both the Dalek fleet, and at the same time his planet Gallifrey, after the Dalek Emperor gained control of a mysterious something known as the cruciform.

5. Leaving the TARDIS, you see the Time Lord Academy you have heard the Doctor speak of. At what age did he say Gallifreyans must look into the time vortex as initiation to the academy?

Answer: 8

The Untempered Schism is a gap in the fabric of reality which 8-year old Gallifreyans are taken to as an initiation ceremony to the Time Lord Academy. Some are inspired, some, such as the Doctor, run away, and others, such as the Master, go mad.

6. You enter the Academy to be confronted by Slitheen! What household condiment could you use to dispose of them?

Answer: Vinegar

Strictly speaking, Slitheen is a family name, but the term is used by both the Doctor, and fans of the programme to refer to the Raxacoricofallapatorian race in general. As creatures of living calcium they react explosively with acetic acid, which is found in large quantities in vinegar - it is used by Jackie Tyler in the episode 'World War III' to defend herself from a Slitheen in her home.

7. Dalek Caan has heard the commotion of your fight with the Slitheen! As he enters the hall, you notice his colour. What colour is he?

Answer: Bronze

Daleks have had many different colours over the years, but since the 2005 series began they have only had two colours. Dalek Sec, former leader of the Cult of Skaro before he was killed, was black, but Dalek Caan, despite his high-ranking position, has always been bronze.

Answer: Exterminate

The Dalek voice has been developed over the years by many different voice actors, and since 2005 the staccato delivery and harsh tone has been perfected and recorded by Nicholas Briggs, connected to an electronic voice modulator.

Answer: Laser screwdriver

Before the new series, the Master's handheld weapon of choice had been the 'tissue compression eliminator', a device which shrunk its victims to the size of dolls, killing them in the process. For the 2007 series, executive producer and chief scriptwriter Russell T Davies decided to bring in the laser screwdriver to demonstrate the 'new tricks' the Master had up his sleeve.

Answer: Emergency Temporal Shift

Dalek Caan escapes the Empire State Building after he spurns the Doctor's attempt at compassion for the last of the Dalek kind. As of the end of the new Series 3, Caan is the last of Dalek-kind, but is reported to be returning in the future having discovered a way to resurrect more of the dying race.
