I was looking on the
Doctor Who website recently, and I found something totally awesome. It is a game called Doctor in the House.
How to play: Slip quotations from Doctor Who into everyday conversations and you score points if no- one notices what you’re doing! You could be in the school yard or in a meeting, talking to the President or your friends, just smuggle those lines into a chat and you get the points! You can set yourself a target score-line and play ‘Doctor in the House’ for a bit of festive fun on your own. Or you can challenge your mates, compare scores amongst yourselves.
How You Score: Every time you quote the Doctor (from the Doctor in the House list) you score some points. The harder the quotation, the more points you get!
If someone so much as raises an eyebrow or asks ‘What are you on about?’, you do not get the points. Bah humbug, but that’s the rule! Your challenge is to sneakily use as many Doctor in the House lines as you can without anyone realizing what you’re doing.
And if you hear someone trying to use one of the lines you can get a bonus ten points by shouting, ‘Doctor in the house!’
Rules: You cannot score points from the same line twice in the same game.
You must say the lines loud and clear! No muttering under your breath.
You can devise your own variations of the game like Pond’s Ponderings using Amy’s
quips and quotations, lines from Christmas specials or use the words from any of the
Doctor’s friends and foes.
