I'd recently rewatched the first episode of the 3rd series of new Doctor Who, Smith and Jones, so had an advantage with purple.

Not too hard once I had got the ambiguous yellow out of the way.

Although I admit I didn't see the purple connection straight away even once I was told what it is.

I was referring to the same purple category as we had today and I thought your comment about blue was bizarro. I couldn't see how you could think those items were in the same category and not have the correct category. It makes much more sense with the categories that your link says were for 162.

Lucky guess with oneof the blue ones, green one very US based, bit surprised they went with one of the purples.
