Dr. Who quiz answers



Thanks to all who sent answers to my quiz and congratulations to Mark
Callow who had at least 4.5 correct answers and possibly 5.5 (see
question 8).  I enjoyed it and hope you did also.

Here are the answers to the Dr. Who quiz of a couple of weeks
ago.  Most of this information came from the book  "The Making
of Dr. Who", a Target book printed in England.  It makes for
interesting reading for anyone even remotely interested in
the good Doctor.

	1. Which two actors were chosen for the role of Dr. Who
	   on the strength of their performance in a movie?

	   Answer: William Hartnell (first Dr.) and
		   Tom Baker (fourth Dr.).

	2. What were the movies?

	   Answer: Hartnell for his performance in "This Sporting
		   Life" and Baker for his role as the wicked
		   magician in "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad". He
		   also played Rasputin the Mad Monk in "Nicholas
		   and Alexandra" which helped his cause.

	3. Which incarnation of Dr. Who was confined to the
	   planet Earth?

	   Answer: Jon Pertwee, the third Dr. Who.

	4. Which incarnation of Dr. Who was an expert in Venusian
	   Aikido, and intergalactic form of martial arts?

	   Answer: Again, Jon Pertwee.

	5. How many hearts does Dr. Who have?

	   Answer:  Two.

	6. What does UNIT stand for? (I haven't seen the answer
	   to this one appear yet)

	   Answer: United Nations Intelligence Taskforce.

	7. What was the purpose for UNIT?

	   Answer:  To protect the planet Earth from extra-
		    terrestial invasion.

	8. What Actor appeared in episodes with each of the first
	   four Doctors (although not in the same role)?

	   Answer:  Nicholas Courtney played Brigadier Alastair
		    Lethbridge-Stewart of UNIT with Troughton,
		    Pertwee and Baker.  He also played a space-
		    age type James Bond in a Hartnell episode.
		    (Mark Callow claimed that James Scott Martin
		    played Devros as well as other characters in
		    episodes with each of the first four Dr. Whos
		    but I couldn't confirm this except to say that
		    the above mentioned book says there were others
		    but did not mention any other names).

	9. How many incarnations of the Doctor appeared together
	   in one series?

	   Answer: Three, in the episode "The Three Doctors" (1972)

					Western Electric Co.
					Montgomery Works
