Hi there! I'm the Doctor. TerrorX932 has regenerated into me!

So my good ol' friend, StreetPassWanter done this thing called the Wii U Fourm Bowl and it was really fun but it ended so I want to bring it back!

This time, it will be Doctor Who themed (there will be non-Doctor Who related ones aswell).

So, to start us off, here is the first question.

When did the first Doctor Who episode first air? (20 points)

Here are the players:
Mournblade (15 points)
TrickySx4 (10 points)

Saturday 23rd November 1963 with William Hartnell.
Yes, it did show again the next Saturday, but that was only because the Kennedy assassination drew viewers away from it.


And to make sure people hate me, Russel Davies can't write sci-fi and his Torchwood series sucks.

Well no point in duplicating the right answer, but a fun fact is that Hartnell got the role as the first Doctor, only after 2 other actors turned it down. They were Hugh David...who also ended up Directing future episodes..and Geoffrey Bayldon.

*DING DING DING* You got it right! 20 points to you! Another 10 points for being the first person to enter! 5 more points for the extra fact! Minus 20 points for not liking Russel T Davies.

10 points for the neat fact!



Next question:

How many Doctor Who episodes (no movies, no spin offs, no minisodes, no specials please) has there been? (70 points)

Russel Davies sucks at writing Sci-fi, his strength comes from drama. That's why all the action episodes written by him were terrible. The Daleks vs. the Cybermen was a great concept, but wasn't well utilized and really sucked. He also had the same retconning problem that DC had. Sure, this is a time traveling show, but you can't constantly change the world because you made a writing mistake.
Also, Children of the Earth was the only good torchwood series. The Original series was mediocre and Miracle Day was dreadful.


But to the question, it's a trick question because of time zones and the new episode's release.

Do as it is now. Asylum of the Daleks won't air until 7:20. You have 2 hours.

While the number is debatable, almost half of all the episodes from the first 2 doctors (William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton) are missing...this requires math...*puts on counting helmet*.....747 episodes

Nope. Here a hint: go to the classic doctor who website, go to episode guide and it should tell you how many classic episodes. Then add the new series episodes up including Asylum of the Daleks!
