THIS WEEK MARKS 20 years since Doctor Who was revived as a series by the BBC.

To mark the occasion, we want to travel back in time and see how much you know about the longest running sci-fi show in the world.
Whether you have been a long time Whovian or have only recently tuned in, take this quiz to test your knowledge.
