TARDIS32's Tough Quiz Questions - Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways

Ok, one more to finish off Series 1. We’d done the first production block of classic Who as well. Unfortunately, I think this will be the last TQQs unless there’s enough popular demand to bring them back at some point. Thanks to everyone who had played, and I’m sorry if stopping these is a disappointment to some, and I hope the difficulty/obscurity of the questions wasn’t too much or off-putting for others. I hope you enjoy playing the questions for Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways.

Question Answer
1. The Doctor arrives at the Game Station and immediately meets Lynda, but what were the names of the other two housemates? Strood and Crosbie
