The 10 greatest episodes of Doctor Who ever

@ telegraph.co.uk

"With the final episode of series four approaching, the Daily Telegraph's in-house team of Doctor Who buffs (including, we might add, Gavin Fuller, who won Mastermind in 1993 with Doctor Who as his specialist subject) has compiled a countdown of the sci-fi spectacular's finest ever episodes. They've been selected from both the original era (1963-89) and the new (from 2005); in some cases, multi-part storylines have been counted as single episodes".

While I'm on the subject... from 2004

Football picture quiz

FootballPictureQuiz.blogspot.com
"The players featured here are amongst the best footballers that have ever graced the game.

Each question will be the same, namely "Who is this?"together with, a photo of, the international record of, and some text (taken from Wikipedia) about, a great footballer.

Each player has retired from international football, so there will be no current internationals.

No-one will get them all, some will be easy, some will be difficult. No cheating, the quiz is designed for you to answer before you navigate away from the page.

When you reach the bottom of the page click "Older Posts" for more questions.

Answers can be submitted to me (tim[AT]ne99[DOT]com), or you can put your answers in the comments."
