Quiz: How much do you know about Doctor Who?

Take this quiz to test your Doctor Who trivia.

THIS WEEK MARKS 20 years since Doctor Who was revived as a series by the BBC.

The show’s revival delighted fans with Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor and Russell T Davies as the showrunner.  Two decades have passed and the Doctor has been reincarnated several times, with Ncuti Gatwa currently leading the series.

To mark the occasion, we want to travel back in time and see how much you know about the longest running sci-fi show in the world.

Whether you have been a long time Whovian or have only recently tuned in, take this quiz to test your knowledge.
