Took me 29 seconds to name all 10. And it only took that long because I typoed one of the names.

I got 8 out of 10- I missed Paul McGann and Sylvester McCoy, but I guess that makes sense because I’m least familiar with their stuff.
I mean, I knew who McGann was but all I could think of was his initals- PMG.

I didn’t take the quiz, because I’m only a fan of Chris Eccleston. :)

You don’t need to put them in order. I only got 6 (including the two hints). Had we had to put them in order, I’m not sure I’d have gotten more than 1.

It didn’t say you needed to put them in order! I would have got 100% otherwise, boo hoo. Also, I agree with the commenters about Paul McGann. I don’t fuss about things being ‘canon’, but I do fuss about them being crap.

i need to start watching the classic series. i fail at remembering all of them. i watch on sci-fi too. i’ve taken to renting via blockbuster online as well, so i can see them whole and uncut. i’ve got my fingers crossed sci-fi won’t cut the finale. they can’t take 62 minutes down to 45 w/o screwing the entire episode.

Steve and Richard–Forgive me. I’m a newer fan of the series, and I’m not quite sure what’s generally accepted as canon and what isn’t.

I meant to only disinclude the Peter Cushing movies, as these were made for the big screen and don’t generally get included when listing the actors who’ve played The Doctor over the course of the TV series. The 1996 TV movie, as I understand, was done as an attempt to revive the series and is generally seen as part of the series’ history.

I’ve updated the quiz’s intro to try and distinguish this. Thanks for catching something I’d overlooked!

Just being a bit pedantic here but surely one of these Doctors WAS only in a one off special called “Doctor Who: The Movie” so shouldn’t be included here? It wasn’t part of the “series” either old or new.

By the way, my 15 minutes of fame was that I was in the 20th Anniversary special episode “The Five Doctors” so I met and worked with four of them (the original was dead by then and was acted by a look-alike).

Terri,

That IS reward enough. Just checked the last couple issues and found both. Amazing. How I missed these the first time around (particulary T) is baffling.
