The Watcher's Fiendishly Festive Christmas Quiz! (DWM 429 game)

The Watcher's Fiendishly Festive Christmas Quiz! was an uncredited, hybrid narrative feature in Doctor Who Magazine 429, the 2010 Christmas issue. Though mostly consisting of prose bookending the classical DWM Christmas Quiz game, the story also included two illustrations with speech bubbles, in the style of a comic story.

The story wholly broke the fourth wall, referring heavily to Series 5 as an in-universe object with the Watcher speaking on behalf of the real-life Doctor Who Magazine itself. This comedic reintroduction of the mysterious version of the Doctor from Logopolis heralded the recurring Wotcha! feature which would start in the next issue.

Summary
It's Christmas 2010, and the Watcher (wearing his Santa Claus hat) reflects on what has happened all year (such as the departure of an old Doctor and emergence of a new one) before introducing his Christmas Quiz of the year.

He adds, via a metaphor which he eventually gives up on, admitting that it was quite overwrought, that as part of a special promotion, rewards await those who are the quickest to submit the correct answers to Doctor Who Magazine — an addendum which the stunned First Doctor insists is "impossible! quite impossible!".

The questions are mostly about the Eleventh Doctor's first run of TV stories, and the Eleventh Doctor shows up himself, also wearing a Santa hat, to declare the questions "easy-peasy, quizzy-whizzy!", looking the reader dead in the eye!
