14/15 there HC so over to you.

John Hurt despite being a regeneration isn’t counted as an official “Doctor”. His character is specifically referred to as not The Doctor.

SPOILERS FOR UPCOMING SPECIALS BELOW







David Tennant’s return is officially counted as the 14th Doctor, with Ncuti following him as the 15th.

The first episode of Doctor Who, An Unearthly Child, was initially broadcast the day following the assassination of which public figure? Resulting in the episode being repeated the following week to allow viewers to catch up.

JFK, I suspect.

That’s John Fitzgerald Kennedy, in case I get accused of not giving a complete answer.

What was the name of the commission set up to investigate JFK’s assassination?

I feel like the name of it was an actual name but I can't remember it :(
Let me take a guess with John Commission?

No, but you’re on the right lines.

You’ve gone for the first name of an Australian snooker player of the 80s / 90s, which is correct but the wrong player.

It is also Jimmy White’s middle name.
