A little disappointed you didn't have War Doctor (8.5) John Hurt on the quiz either.

Having Cushing from the movies, or the other actors who have played the earlier doctors (Richard Hurndal as 1st Doctor from "The Five Doctors", David Bradley and Reece Shearsmith as 1st and 2nd Doctors in "An Adventure in Space and time") would be awesome.

maybe even the Shalka Doctor (Richard E Grant), or the Doctors from "Curse of the Fatal Death" special, but that would really be pandering to the die-hard fans. But we'd really love it ^_^

in an adventure in space and time they technically weren't playing the doctor they were playing William hartnell and Patrick troughton. ok yes David Bradley is playing the 1st doctor in the upcoming Christmas special and Richard hurndall did play the 1st doctor in the 5 doctors but I think that would just overcomplicate the quiz jus a little bit for some people unless it stated "1st doctor in the 5 doctors" etc

Cushing was never an official doctor anyway his movies are not canon. he wasn't even a time lord or called the doctor in them. he was a human scientist called doctor who and he invented the TARDIS and we all know TARDIS's were around long before the Doctor and they were grown and it took 1000s of years

Kalleanon is right - Peter Cushing played him in a 60's movie.

I got 0. The only one I thought I remembered was "Pewtree" because he was on one of my characters played by multiple actors quizzes... but turns out that's not actually his name.

The description for the quiz isn't accurate. Paul McGann's 8th Doctor never got a season in the TV series.

Got all of the modern ones. I've only fully seen the first season of the modern series, but I started watching season 2 recently. I <3 Christopher Eccleston. David Tennant seems pretty good so far, but I still don't have as favorable an opinion of him as I do of 9. That could change though.
