Do you know the answers to these questions?
A guy at work devised a quiz and handed it round for people to have a go at (only a bit of fun).
I've answered 18 out of the 20 questions but I am stuck on these - do you know the answer? :
1) Terry Nation was talking to whom when the Daleks were created?
2) His mother, his son and his great grandson - all beheaded - who was he?

So far I think it might be James I - his mother was Mary Queen of Scots who was beheaded, and his son was Charles I. Also beheaded. I can't find out who his great granchildren were though at the moment.
Still no idea on the Dalek thing though.

One of the made up names was an encylopedia, book 1 AAA - DAK, book 2 DAL - EKS, book 3 EKT - ZZZ. The reader thought DAL-EKS, what a good name.
Or it could have been somehting else and not DALEK at all.....
If it was this then still not sure who he was talking to, Brittania?

Nation also claimed that the name came from a volume of a dictionary or encyclopedia, the spine of which read "Dal - Lek". He later admitted that he had made this up as a reply to a question by a journalist and that anyone who checked out his story would have found him out. The name had in reality simply rolled off his typewriter. Later, Nation was pleasantly surprised to discover that in Serbo-Croatian the word "Dalek" means "far and distant thing".
