For Q

 

[Quatermass]

Is it me, or does Katy Manning look like she has a Glasgow smile?

Trust them to trot out Colin Baker (who played the know-it-all sixth Doctor) and John Leeson (who played the know-it-all K9), along with the people who played the know-nothing companions, Frazer Hines, Louise Jameson, and Katy Manning.

I like Frazer Hines and Louise Jameson, they played two of my favourite companions, Jamie and Leela. Both from unsophisticated (technologically, anyway) backgrounds, but nonetheless intelligent enough, loyal, and more than willing to get into a scrap for the Doctor.

And I have met Colin Baker.

So, what is this show actually about?

It's a quiz show, 5 contestants in a team have to beat the 5 experts, the eggheads.

And the Dr Who people did very well - only lost by one point.

Is it on general trivia, or is it the specialty of the celebrities (in this case, Doctor Who)? Or both?

You know, now that I come to think about it, Colin Baker is actually pretty knowledgeable about trivia from the series. And the four companions are the longest serving companions in the series for the most part, so they might remember quite a bit about their respective eras...

I think it is general trivia with maybe the occasional DW question thrown in.
