You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.

Create a query to list out the appearances of enemies in episodes which have length under 40 characters, where the length is defined as the sum of:

- the number of characters in the doctor's name; and
- the number of characters in the enemy's name.
This should reveal two episodes:
