Took a bit of time to make this one, a good bit of uneventful or non-quizworthy stuff in especially the later episodes of this one. Could only scrape 3 questions for episode 6, but did 2 extra for 7. I hope the good few number questions aren’t too mean, but I am trying to be tough. Anyway, enjoy:

- The Doctor pretends the fluid link was malfunctioning as an excuse to get into the Dalek city. Which fluid link? Fluid Link K7
- The fluid needed for the fluid link was mercury. I am a chemist, so what is the atomic symbol (like O for oxygen) of mercury? (Bonus point(s) for the atomic number and/or mass) Hg (#80, Mass 200.59)
- Who (uncredited) plays the Dalek through the eye of which we see the legendary cliffhanger of Barbara’s scream of terror? Assistant floor manager Michael Ferguson

- The Daleks indicate the decrease in radiation count over the past two hundred days, what was the change? 93 to 58 (a reduction of 35)

- What, according to Alydon, is a sign that the anti-radiation drugs have started to work? Tingling in the arms
- What was to be the signal that the Daleks were not hostile to the Thals in the letter making contact between them? It would be signed with Susan’s name
- The Doctor and the others deduce that the Daleks must be powered by static electricity. While it is true in the show, realistically, why can this not be the case? Static electricity by definition isn’t moving through a circuit, and therefore couldn’t be powering anything
