THIS WEEK'S CATEGORY: WHO?
On-air questions: On November 23, 1963, the BBC aired the first episode of Doctor Who, which is the longest-running science-fiction television show of all time. (The initial broadcast was delayed by 80 seconds because of coverage of JFK's assassination.) Since we already did doctors – way back in episode two – each correct answer this week will contain the word WHO.
