Publisher's summary
Are you a casual or dedicated British Science Fiction/Doctor Who fan?
Test your knowledge or brush up on it with this unofficial Trivia Book. If you want to remember some of the great moments (with the expanse of time, we couldn’t remember them all!) of one of the most loved television shows ever, this book is for you.
The next time you leave a room you catch yourself saying “Hey who turned off the lights” or “delete delete delete” when you delete anything on your phone or computer, you’ll realize how much you enjoy all the British Science Fiction television shows and how much they mean to you. There are 260 fun trivia questions here starting with the classic series Doctor Who as well as the current series up to the current Doctor 13.
Aliens and other strange lifeforms appear in Torchwood and The Sarah Jane adventures spanning the expanse of time (or at least in our life timeline). Villains such as the Daleks, Cybermen, and the Weeping Angels; as well as The Doctor, Jack Harkness, and Sarah Jane Smith herself. Test your knowledge and see if you know how to stay safe on the Mars outpost Bowie Base One, or if you’ll be one of the shorter character timelines on the show.
Relive a few of your favorite Doctor Who moments.
See why Captian Jack stays at the Torchwood 3 compound and how he helps several Doctors save the earth and many other planets from destruction or alien invasion. See who River Song is and why she knows the Doctor’s real name.
Answer these trivia questions and more:
- Which British Monarch did Doctor Who marry?
- Why did Winston Churchill need the Doctor's help?
- Where is there a Back to the Future/Star wars reference in Doctor Who?
- What did Queen Victoria send Jack Harkness back to Cardiff to do?
- Who has an extraterrestrial computer in the attic?
Enjoy your short travel with the 13 Doctors and visit the Doctor Who spin-offs for even more timeless alien adventures. You never know if you will meet the first Doctor or the 13th. You may meet a British Queen, Vincent Van Gogh, or William Shakespeare. The only thing certain is you will always want more of the Doctor and his companions.

In Victory at Hawaii: America Defeats the Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor, the decades-old question is explored—how could the US be so surprised and defeated on December 7, 1941 by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor? And how could, six months later in June 1942, the US Navy deal a crushing blow to the Japanese Fleet at the Battle of Midway? We all know that the US had intelligence indicating that the Japanese were going to attack at Midway Island. What if earlier in 1941, America had specific intelligence about the upcoming Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and acted on it?

Candide and his tutor Pangloss travel the globe trying to follow the philosophy "All is for the best in this, the best of all possible worlds". However, they are stung and let down at every turn, being robbed, tortured, and ridiculed, amongst other trials. On hearing about their often disasterous travels, a listener feels unfortunately less than empathetic, and can't help themselves laughing out loud at this very funny account of the trail our optimistic travellers take.

We begin with a look at TV programming of the day and the original pitch documents before delving into the Daleks, which almost didn't make the cut but inspired many monsters to follow. After three years, First Doctor William Hartnell left, prompting the BBC to recast their hit rather than end it, giving us the first "regeneration" and making TV history.

Story
This close look at Wonder Woman's history portrays a complicated heroine who is more than just a female Superman with a golden lasso and bullet-deflecting bracelets. The original Wonder Woman was ahead of her time, advocating female superiority and the benefits of matriarchy in the 1940s. At the same time, her creator filled the comics with titillating bondage imagery, and Wonder Woman was tied up as often as she saved the world.

Nicolas Cage is many things, but love him, or laugh at him, there's no denying two things: You've seen one of his many films, and you certainly know his name. But who is he, really, and why has his career endured for over 40 years, with more than a hundred films, and birthed a million memes? Age of Cage is a smart, beguiling book about the films of Nicolas Cage and the actor himself, as well as a sharp-eyed examination of the changes that have taken place in Hollywood over the course of his career.

Story
When Nicholas Meyer was asked to direct the troubled second Star Trek film, he was something less than a true believer. A best-selling author and successful director, he had never been a fan of the TV series. But as he began to ponder the appeal of Kirk, Spock, et al., he realized that their story was a classical nautical adventure yarn transplanted into space and - armed with that insight - set out on his mission: to revitalize Trek.

Great trivia questions
I like that this book not only asks trivia questions about it but also tells you interesting facts about Doctor Who and the characters. This type of book is great for game night with your friends or even passing time in the car while traveling. The book is full of awesome questions that challenge your faithfulness of being a true Doctor Who fan. There are over 400 questions so you will not get bored listening to this book. I listened to it while working because it made it really fun to listen to through my Alexa while I work.
The narrator did a great job and the music in the background keeps you engaged.

Super fun!
"I recently picked up 'British Science Fiction Trivia' on a whim, being a long-time fan of Doctor Who and its spin-offs. I wasn't disappointed! It's a delightful mix of nostalgia and challenge, taking me on a journey from the classic eras to the newer episodes. Some questions had me stumped, while others brought back fond memories of watching Sarah Jane's escapades or Torchwood's darker tales. Whether you consider yourself a Whovian or just enjoy a good trivia night, this book is a fantastic addition to your collection. Just don't be surprised if you end up binge-watching some episodes again!"
