Luca’s Fiendishly Hard Advent Calendar Trivia Contest #1 - the New Series

Here’s the first of a trio of trivia contests from the Doctor Who Blog for our Advent Calendar. Send your answers to (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) by December 12 (and please do NOT put the answers in the comment thread). Also please try not to consult on-line databases (like IMDB) for answers - we’ll have no way of knowing whether you do, but I’m sure Santa will! The first set of correct answers drawn out of a hat will win something. What, we don’t know as yet, so don’t expect a free car or vacation to Cardiff or anything like that, but it will be something!
