    A missed opportunity, I'd have loved to have seen a quiz-off between Anne and the Anne-Droid! No Billie either, but then she's already been a contender.

    Seeing K-9 perched on one of the podiums should be a treat. Will he take the trundle of shame? I can't imagine any of the other contestents would come close to beating him, largely because he's a computer.
    Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

    K9 was the star last time they did The Weakest Link. I suggest he will be again!

    Sounds like it'll be great fun though!

    Anne Robinson presents a special Dr Who-themed edition of the quick-fire general knowledge quiz. David Tennant, John Barrowman, Camille Coduri, Noel Clarke, K9 and Tracy-Anne Oberman battle it out for intergalactic supremacy.
    Viewers in Scotland can watch the excellent River City instead. It pisses all over Corrie, EastEnders and Doctor Who these days!

    If the clips on the BBC website are anything to go by, Camille is going to be a joy to watch! Again!

    Very entertaining, although K9 was unfairly picked on in the first round. Poor
    K9!

    Good for Camille - Anne seemed to be constantly amazed whenever she answered anything right, so I was really pleased to see her win. Hurrah!

    I can't believe K9 got voted off first! Tsk and tsk again! I just hope he went in to the dressing room straight afterwards and wee'd on all their stuff.

    Other than that it was a lot of fun, though it's a shame they didn't have Nick Briggs inside a Dalek too. Or Anne inside her annedroid.

    It was hilairious!

    Poor Camille went through it but I was really please to see her win. We laughed out loud when we heard Anne ask "Is John out of tune? Is Noel taking the mickey? Or is Camille just thick?"
    I’m being extremely clever up here and there’s no one to stand around looking impressed! What’s the point in having you all?

    I enjoyed this. Camille was a scream! I felt so sorry for K9. I wonder if his being voted off on the first round was fixed?

    Was it just me or did Nick Briggs Dalek voiced sound a bit rubbish?

    I taped it.....but thought it was only 30 minutes long, so missed the last 15/20 minutes.

    We wondered if it was fixed so K9 would get voted off earlier because all his lines were pre-recorded.

    I don't see why though. Surely it was as easy to get John Leeson in the studio as Nick Briggs?
