Is Your Dad An Evil Alien? was one of the comical "game" sections of Tim Quinn and Dicky Howett's The Doctor Who Fun Book. Interestingly, it featured little in the way of overt DWU elements, merely mentioning the Seven Galaxies and lifting the general concept of frequent alien invasions of Earth.

- hit his child on the head with his Sledge Hammer Arm Extension if the child accidentally shoots their Anti-Space Invader Bazooka up the Dad's right nostril;
- throw the child back into the blazing house with a reptilian curse if the child accidentally sets the house on fire with their toy chemistry set.
- If the Dad is indeed an alien, the writers of the test invite the reader to purchase their Alien Extermination Kit ("only £150 plus VAT").
