    Depends when it was made. They may have formed a band with Peter Gabriel!:D

    Again, lots of choices here (probably should have narrowed some questions down a bit, if I’m being honest), but which one gained the most attention?

    That would be Rise of the Cybermen, the first New Series appearance of the Classic enemy

    8. Name an episode or story that was originally broadcast on Christmas Day


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,515 ✭✭✭aaronjennings


    Christmas specials have become something of a tradition since 2005, so lots of options here. However, the most votes went to David Tennant’s first emergence from the TARDIS…

    doctor-who-the-christmas-invasion-arrival-2.jpg?w=501&h=282

    …and his team-up with Kylie Minogue on-board the Titanic in space. Yes, really.

    Definitely should have narrowed this question down further, as the wide spread of answers results in the lowest-scoring Sheep of the game. We had the Doctor’s home planet in the previous question, well this time we get a tie between the Doctor’s own species, the Time Lords…

    The penultimate question, and we still have one more score reversal to come. Is this the one?

    7153c9bc22c6597714c12c11e68e4401.jpg

    The answer is no, as Rassilon scores 5 points, just one ahead of the Doctor’s wife, River Song. Is she actually a Time Lord, though? This is Sheep, so it doesn’t really matter

    Necro moves 3 points clear, however…

    We know that the last question is a big Sheep, which will have its scores reversed

    I can also tell you that the final question’s Sheep had eight people choose it

    All of those people will score 1 point

    Anyone who answered with an ace will score 8 points

    Any other answers will score somewhere between 2 and 7

    Therefore, with one question remaining, everyone in the top six can still win

    I was between going for the first and last words here, but I think I've chosen the wrong one. I was propping up the wrong end of the table for a while though, so will be happy to be outside the bottom three.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,515 ✭✭✭aaronjennings


    Out of the top six players, FIVE of them chose the Sheep

    Therefore, only one of the top six will score any points of significance

    But will it be enough to gain first place?

    The answer is NO, as Reberetta - the only person in the top six to score more than one point – collects just 3 points, which is only enough to move them into joint-second, with Niska and Molly

    Some random stats:

    - Barney and Niska had the most Sheep, with 9, however each had 3 of those Sheep be worth only one point
    - Valeyard and Electric Nitwit also had 3 Sheep score only one point. Nobody was unlucky enough to have it happen to them all four times
    - Nobody had more than one ace in rounds where the scores were reversed

    River, although awesome is not a Time Lord. She was conceived in the Tardis, which meant she was exposed to unshielded energies of the Time Vortex and the DNA of the Doctor.
