As the nation retreats indoors during lockdown, there's one thing keeping us all connected - the new trend of virtual pub quizzing, with separated families and friends joining together online to have fun, learn new things and - most crucially of all - show off just how much random trivia they've picked up over the years.

Of course, though, sloping off to a quiz night at your local pub is easier than putting one together yourself - which is why here at RadioTimes.com we've been putting together lists of pub quiz questions on a variety of topics to help make your evenings fun and full of useless knowledge.

This time, we've pulled together a list of Doctor Who pub quiz questions for you, dragged from all corners of time and space (well, the TV series anyway) to test your mettle. Just think of it as Whoniversity Challenge.

And once you’re done, why not try our TV pub quiz, film pub quiz, music quiz or sport pub quiz for size? Plus there’s many, many more pub quizzes available as part of our bumper general knowledge pub quiz.

For now, let's get cracking. Allons-y!
