About This Quiz

Since 1963, Doctor Who and his companions have been delighting audiences around the world, from British folks on the show's native soil to the citizens of dozens of nations, including the U.S., Canada and New Zealand. A time traveler with the ability to regenerate into new incarnations, the Doctor has been played by many celebrated actors, including Christopher Eccleston, Matt Smith, Tom Baker and David Tennant. 

Do you adore "Doctor Who" as much as we do? Then you're going to love this quiz, which will test your knowledge of every modern incarnation of the Doctor, from the Ninth Doctor to the Thirteenth Doctor. We're also going to ask you about the Doctor's many companions, including Rose Tyler, Donna Noble and Rory Williams.

This is not a quiz that can be aced by the casual "Doctor Who" viewer.😉 You're going to need to know the difference between a Dalek and a Tardis if you want to impress us! Not to mention remembering who River Song is (and why she's so important.) So, what do you think? Are you ready to find out whether you're as mighty a "Doctor Who" expert as you believe you are? If so, there's no time like the present to play this quiz!
