    • Write your own questions
      • Example:
      • In a TV show called "DR. WHO".  It's British.  Here are some of the Questions:
                          13. How can Donna ever ignore the existence of the
                                aliens, the Doctor in the future when it's going to be
                                coming at her when she lives in this "new life" 
                                she has in the form of media and friends. 
                                Was it sufficient for her mother and 
                                grandfather NOT to confirm anything?

                        14. Why didn't the doctor invite Donna Noble's grampa
                               into the Tardis? Not pretty enough? No men allowed? 
                               How about mickey?

                        15. When did the doctor have the power to erase
                               memories? What did he use to do this?

                        16. If donna cannot regenerate, how come we see a sort
                              of regeneration after she got hit by the Dalek? 
                              Does this mean she can regenerate ONCE only?
