Screen OD staff

OK, Whovians, it’s time for our latest adventures in time, space and quizzing. Let’s jump into the mesmerising realm of time and space, where reality is but a mere perspective, and the limits of possibility stretch as far as one can imagine. Welcome to the captivating universe of “Doctor Who”! And what can make it better than a good old fashioned quiz to get you thinking ahead of the return of David Tennant to the TARDIS and the first episodes of Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson.

Stepping out from the enigmatic blue police box, known as the TARDIS, we meet an eccentric yet lovable character known as the Doctor. Across the show’s illustrious history, various actors have bestowed their unique essence onto this character, creating a multifaceted protagonist beloved by generations. Two such actors are Tom Baker and Colin Baker who may share the same name, but were very different characters in the show.

Both actors, left their own unique mark on the Whoniverse, but their versions of the Doctor were as different as chalk and cheese. With Tom Baker’s bohemian Fourth Doctor and Colin Baker’s volatile Sixth Doctor, each brought a distinctive flavour to the series.

However, there is one thing that we want to know… do you know which episodes were Tom and which episodes were Colin? Why should all the quizzes be about New Who – isn’t it time the Classic Doctor Who stories had their moment in the sun?

How well do you remember their adventures? Can you tell a “Genesis of the Daleks” from a “Trial of a Time Lord”? Let’s put your Whovian knowledge to the test in this latest Screen OD fiendish science fiction quizzes…
