About This Quiz

Did you know "Doctor Who" has been around since 1963? It's one of the longest-lived shows ever, and even though it hasn't run non-stop that whole time, it never goes away for too long. Part of the brilliance of the show is the way it easily allows for a total cast-swap without having to explain away the change in faces. The Doctor can simply come back as another person. Different face, same basic being. Another aspect beloved by fans is the diversity and range of its villains. From the corny effects of the '60s to some lofty and incredibly ideas in the modern age, the Doctor has fought everything from robots to statues to gods and devils. At their best, the villains of "Doctor Who" dive into something dark and primal with a creepy sci-fi twist that makes them grotesque and reprehensible. Villains like The Master warped by madness or the Cybermen who strive to achieve their perverse brand of perfection. 

If you're a true Whovian then you'll surely recognize some of the Doctor's most famous enemies, but is there a chance you can guess all of them? One way to find out! Hop in your TARDIS and take the quiz.
