The Classic Doctor Who Audio Quiz

Interesting fact. A recent scientific study has revealed that Doctor Who is really great! Also... it turns out that Doctor Who related podcasts are, on average, 31% better than the average digital offering, and... up to 60% better than podcasts about 'Friends', saving money on household bills, or Russian history. Result! So... if you have been dithering up to now, there's no better time to dip you...

It's been revealed this week that 81% of all Doctor Who related podcasters hold down full-time employment elsewhere, unrelated to time travel drama. Not only do they don their secret identities, to undertake their regular missions into the unknown, throwing down their wisdom and clichés onto the podfloor, daring the podverse to challenge them on their well-crafted views, but they retain the wherew...

Just when you thought there was nothing left to say on the subject, we go to the heart of the issue, and hear from the people who were right there - in the studio, when the original Doctor Who related podcasts were created. We hear the (sometimes) awkward truth from the masters themselves, at the peak of their podding powers... ~ Please note: not all awkward truths are available in all territories...

Why listen to a Doctor Who related podcast? You may as well ask why we bother to breathe in after exhaling. Like oxygen, Doctor Who podcasts are difficult to live without after their magic has once been enjoyed. Like oxygen, podcasts travel through the air... sort of. And our pod-catching apps are the lungs of... Well, your ears are kind of like a nose that can... No, hang on. This simile has kind...

In the last edition of the CDWAQ Season One, we find out about the distressing rise in energy bills, Dalek 'skirt bumps', alternative uses for weasel skulls, and why Doctor Who used to have a catflap. But, to be fair, you're not going to learn anything new or terribly important so, y'know, if Death in Paradise is on, or you've been meaning to start that book, well, don't worry, you're really not g...

"Ask not what Doctor Who can do for you - ask rather what you can do to support, promote and increase the renown of Doctor Who" Wise words from the new president. And who better embodies the spirit of these presidential postulations than those who invested their hard-earned paper round money in a 'proper' microphone and a sensible haircut and now surf the podwaves to honour the greatest long-runni...

There's only one thing you really need to know about the Classic Doctor Who Audio Quiz. And we've decided not to tell you what that is. It would ruin whatever paltrey trace of fun that exists in the listening experience. Best to find your own way onto the True Path of Righteousness

This podcast stands in tribute to the legion of Doctor Who related podcasters everywhere*. We owe you a debt that can never be repaid, even with Grotzits... ~ *except in San Marino, Botswana, Mesopotamia and the badlands south of the Mbaracayu mountain range in Paraguay. Oh, and Berwick upon Tweed. And Southern Finland.

This is where you can give a description of your podcast, and details of the episode. Perhaps you have a guest, or an interview - be sure to list all contributors.

What's that coming over the hill? Is it a monster? Is it a Doctor Who monster? No. It's the host of a Doctor Who related podcast, and she's got urgent questions about Susan's careless misuse of everyday household implements.

The Classic Doctor Who Audio Quiz isn't perfect. It's not particularly cool, and it's certainly not popular. But at least it's... At least it can... No, I've lost my thread. Thing is... we found out from Podponder Analytics this week that we actually have a listener. In Poland. And it's made us kind of self-conscious. But don't worry. We gathered around the quiz table before this shocking discover...

I said a-hip hop a-hibby a-hibby to the hip hip hop a-you don't stop the rockin', to the bam bam boogie say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogedy beat. Now what you hear is not a test, it's Doctor Who related podcasters, ploughing on in the most difficult circumstances. Perservering in the face of unimaginable hardship and peril to bring us their much-needed thoughts on the twelfth and t...

OK. It's time once more to put down your Target novel and carefully remove your clobber club from its wall-mounted bracket, because... its Quiz Time! Let joy be unconfined. Let merriment prevail. Let someone else clean up the crisp packets and empty sherbert fountain wrappers and let battle commence! For your own safety, please keep your tentacles inside the space vehicle at all times.

From the dawn of human history, as our ancestors scrabbled in the dirt for sustenance, fashioning crude sonic screwdrivers out of twigs and shells, we have striven to understand our universe and ourselves. Since 1963, we have been lucky enough to have Doctor Who to guide us onto the science fiction path of truth. Once again we highlight and admire the noble truth-seekers, the pure of heart and ton...

As the Solar flares subside, and communication is once again possible between the CDWAQ lunar fortress and the Quiz Reception Centres on Earth, we invite the intrepid quiz warriors amongst you to participate in the new TARDIS Trivia Tournament. The price of failure is, as always, harsh, painful and immediate, but... should you prevail, and qualify for the second round of TTT001, you will be transp...

Once again the intrepid creators of Doctor Who related podcasts, who we honour here, have boldly stepped into the void, with little regard for their own safety or renown, to discuss the incredible classic serial, the Edge of Destruction. If we are able to see further today, it is by standing on the shoulders of these unheralded giants. And once again we raise our glasses and rinse our contact lens...

Those taking part in this week's quiz will be painfully aware of its importance - and what's at stake: the last berth on the generational colony ship Kamelion, and a chance to survive the imminent implosion of the Earth. As usual, we remind all players not to mention the decaying planet, or the possibility of escaping to New Terra, to those not associated with the quiz, as most are as yet unaware...

Warm, lively, cool, friendly, desperately well-informed and totally sweet. This isn't just a podcast. This is a rich, luxurious Marks and Spooner Doctor Who related podcast with extra squee and a bonus toffee topping. Go on. Indulge yourself!

Well... Artemis II has returned to Earth after its journey to the Moon and back. They orbited the sleeping satellite. We watched them on our stealth monitors as the Orion spacecraft drifted slowly across the sky overhead. Luckily (touch wood) they don't seem to have spotted us in our crater, and our presence on the Moon continues to evade the attention of the wider world. So well done to everyone...

We don't claim to have invented the Doctor Who related podcast. And, to be fair, we've added nothing to the genre. On the other hand, it's not like we're hurting anybody...

"Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun." Mostly harmless? Don't let the creators of Doctor Who related podcasts hear that. Thanks to them, we as a species have crawled from the primordial ooze, microphone clasped in one hand, quantum regulator clutched in the other, to establish ourselves as the domin...

Who was the woman wearing the stripey jacket, in the one with the killer robot? What was the most exciting episode of season 13? Who created the daleks?
