Welcome to "Doctor Who" Trivia Quiz

Answer: Charles Dickens

The Doctor and Rose met Charles Dickens in Cardiff on Christmas Eve in 1869. A gaseous race of aliens called the Gelth were attempting to take over human bodies to give themselves physical form. They tricked the Doctor and Gwyneth, a servant at a funeral parlour, into allowing them to come through the rift that was partly open in the city. Charles Dickens turned the gas lamps on full, but extinguished the flame. Gwyneth was able to strike a match and set the aliens alight just as the Doctor, Rose, and Dickens escaped.

Unfortunately, Gwyneth didn't make it.

Answer: Rose Tyler

In "The Parting of the Ways", The Doctor was facing a fleet of Daleks. He came up with a plan to destroy them all, but he knew that those around him (including himself) would also die. The Doctor tricked Rose in order to save her: he sent her into the TARDIS, and then sent the ship back to 21st century Earth.

Rose was determined to help the Doctor, though. With the help of Jackie and Mickey, she opened up the TARDIS console and absorbed the time vortex. The power of the vortex gave her control over life and death. She disintegrated the Daleks and brought Jack back to life. The power, however, was too much for a human's body. The Doctor absorbed the time vortex, saving Rose but causing himself to regenerate.

Answer: The Master

The Master had managed to take over Earth with the help of the Toclafane (humans from the end of the universe who returned to the past with the help of a Paradox Machine). It took a year, but the Doctor, Jack, Martha, and her family were able to bring an end to his rule.

In the process, the Master was fatally shot. As they were the last two of their kind, the Doctor begged him to regenerate. The Master, however, refused and he died in the Doctor's arms.

Answer: Astrid Peth

Astrid Peth, played by Kylie Minogue, met the Doctor on a starship replica of the Titanic. Astrid wanted to travel and see the stars. She became a waiter on board the Titanic with hopes of exploring the universe, only she spent all her time serving drinks and was not allowed to visit other planets with the ship's guests.

She was going to travel with the Doctor once they had prevented the Titanic from crashing into Earth. Unfortunately, it was not to be. Astrid died saving the Doctor from Max Capricorn.

Answer: River Song

River and the Doctor always seemed to meet in the wrong order. Both were time travellers and when they met in "Silence in the Library", the Doctor had no idea who she was. From River's perspective, however, their time together was coming to an end. In "Forest of the Dead", the Doctor was going to sacrifice himself in order to save the Library's visitors. River knew that if he did, all her memories of him would be erased because he would have died too soon. River took the Doctor's place, allowing him to meet her many more times in his future.

Answer: Abigail

Abigail was in a cryogenic pod when the Doctor met her. She was one of many people being kept as "security" for loans their families had taken from the Sardicks. The Doctor and young Kazran secretly released her from the pod every Christmas Eve. The Time Lord and the boy didn't realise that each new outing was bringing Abigail closer to the end of her life.

She was terminally ill when she was cryogenically frozen but didn't tell them until she only had one day left to live.

Answer: Oswin Oswald

Oswin Oswald appeared to be the only surviving crew member of the Starship Alaska, which had crashed on a planet inhabited by broken and insane Daleks. The Daleks themselves forced the Doctor, Amy, and Rory to enter the Asylum and destroy the planet from the inside. Oswin had been communicating with and helping the other three, but when the Doctor arrived at her chamber to rescue her, there was a problem: Oswin had been converted into a Dalek. Her will to resist meant that she still believed she was human until the Doctor confronted her about the situation.

Later in series seven, it was revealed that Oswin Oswald was one of the many faces of Clara created when she entered the Doctor's time-stream.

Answer: Amy Pond

Amy Pond - or Amy Williams since she married Rory - travelled to 1930s New York with the Doctor after Rory was transported there by a Weeping Angel. When they arrived, they discovered that the Angels were battery farming humans using an apartment building. The trio and River Song found an elderly Rory being kept prisoner in one of the rooms and came to the conclusion that Amy had died in similar circumstances some years previously. Amy realised that if she committed suicide she would create a paradox and prevent the Angels from trapping her and Rory there. Rory wouldn't let her do it alone and they jumped from the roof of the building together.

The couple woke up in the 21st century with the Doctor and River. The Weeping Angels weren't done, though. They sneaked up on Rory and transported him back to 1938. Amy allowed them to take her, too, so that they could grow old together in the past. It was the last time the Doctor saw Amy and Rory alive.

Answer: Clara Oswald

The Great Intelligence entered the Doctor's time-stream and began to undo all the good he had done in his life. Clara jumped in, too. Her soul was separated and echoes of her were spread out across the Doctor's life. She was a positive force, correcting everything the Great Intelligence tried to destroy. (That's why echoes of her appeared in "Asylum of the Daleks" and "The Snowmen".) The Doctor entered his time-stream in order to bring the original Clara back into the present.

Answer: Captain Archibald Hamish Lethbridge-Stewart

Throughout "Twice Upon a Time", he had been referred to as "the Captain". It wasn't until the end of the episode that he finally revealed his name - and his probable link to the Brigadier. The World War I British Captain was trapped in a battlefield crater with a German soldier. Both had their guns raised, though neither seemed to want to pull the trigger. From the Captain's point of view, time was frozen and he was transported into the 1980s where the First and Twelfth Doctors were refusing to regenerate.

At the end of the episode, the Captain had come to terms with the fact that he was destined to die on the battlefield when time was resumed. Then a miracle happened: the soldiers began to sing "Silent Night" and the unofficial Christmas truce was called.
