I mean, in 2005 he did as they were only stripped much later. And we still know who the question asks for as he still finished first in the tour 7 times, whether he "won" or not.

David Tennant was only in the christmas episode in 2005, the rest of the series that aired that year featured Christopher Eccleston in 13 episodes.

13/18, Two years before I was born, I guess that's pretty good (For the terrorist attack, I just typed in twenty different world cities hoping I would get it correct so it's more like 12/18)
