Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Harold is the "most dangerous of all creatures". What is Harold?

Answer: A clever sheep

Harold was the ringleader of the flock that was laboring under the misapprehension that they were birds.

2. Season 1, episode 2 is entitled "____ Stretching Time."

Answer: Owl

Stretching Owls never comes into the episode. "Owl Stretching Time" was the original working title of "Monty Python's Flying Circus".

3. What specialized agency helps bored cats?

Answer: Confuse-A-Cat Ltd

It's all in a days work for Confuse-A-Cat.

4. Why was the barrister late for the trial against Mr. Larch?

Answer: He couldn't find a kosher carpark

He later said he would be an engine driver were he not a barrister.

5. In Terry Gilliam's animations, what object can be seen gobbling up every person who gets too close?

Answer: A baby carriage

The pram, as the Pythons would call it, eats people and belches. They may seem not so unusual now, but for the time, Gilliam's animations were quite groundbreaking.

6. It took Angus Podgorny 5 years to win Wimbledon.

Answer: False

After the defeat of the giant blancmange from the planet Skyron, it took poor Angus, playing by himself, 15 years to win.

7. "The Golden Age of _____", the story of the Montgolfier brothers.

Answer: Ballooning

Of course, this was the only season without John Cleese, and his absence was obvious in the writing.

8. Which is NOT a mock TV program featured within "Monty Python's Flying Circus"?

Answer: "The Car Programme"

Mock TV shows featured in so many sketches. Some others were "Blackmail", "It's The Mind", "The Atilla The Hun Show" and "Archaeology Today".

9. Who is behind the counter of the newsagent when the boring stockbroker stops in?

Answer: A naked woman

He then gets on a bus filled with soldiers which is under attack and a taxi with no driver. He never notices.

10. Which confection made by the Wizzo Chocolate Company will do the most damage when eaten?

Answer: Spring Surprise

Granted Crunchy Frog, Cockroach Cluster, and Ram's Bladder Cup will do their fair share of damage, the Spring Surprise will pierce your cheeks with steel bolts.
