4. Peter, who has grown up under the eye of his housekeeper Vera, begs her 'as a personal favour to me, not to be quite so _____ to my friends.'

From Quiz Peter's Friends

Answer: Gothic

Vera, who smiles only once in the entire film, is a Puccini fan (she listens to 'Madame Butterfly' while she prepares food) and mother of Paul (Alex Lowe), whom Maggie (Emma Thompson) seduces after her 'Christmas Carol' makeover. She is played elegantly by Phyllida Law, who also happens to be Emma Thompson's mother.

5. Mary and Roger are working on a jingle for...

From Quiz Peter's Friends

Answer: coffee

The coffee jingle can be heard at the very end of the credits.

6. According to Brian's (Tony Slattery) inexplicable and bizarre anecdote Greta Garbo and Georgia O'Keefe used to have this Alsatian, which used to do what?

From Quiz Peter's Friends

Answer: Lick them

Only Brian finds this stupid story even remotely funny. No one else has the faintest idea what he's talking about.

7. What does Brian do for a living?

From Quiz Peter's Friends

Answer: Actor

He met Sarah at a production of Chekhov's "The Cherry Orchard". I would have liked to see that!

8. What does Carol Benson (Rita Rudner) hate most about being a public figure?

From Quiz Peter's Friends

Answer: The public

Carol is approached by a fan at the airport, played by Hetta Charnley. Branagh really does enjoy recycling actors: Charnley played a much larger role in 'In the Bleak Midwinter', as Molly, Joe's sister.

9. Sarah surprises Maggie having fun (of the intimate variety) with...

From Quiz Peter's Friends

Answer: Paul

And what about Kelly McGillis?!

10. Who picks Brian up when he leaves?

From Quiz Peter's Friends

Answer: His wife

His extremly angry wife!

11. According to Carol, whom does Maggie make 'look like a hooker'?

From Quiz Peter's Friends

Answer: Mother Theresa

Maggie, having just been turned down by Peter, has a moment of weakness and allows Carol to make her over. Toward the end of the film, still with prettily curled hair but having toned down the makeup and clothing a bit, she looks quite stunning. Still doesn't win Peter, though.

12. What is the name of Roger and Mary's surviving son?

From Quiz Peter's Friends

Answer: Ben

This forms one of several mundane but heartbreaking 'mysteries' throughout the film. Simon, Ben's twin brother, seems to have fallen victim to cot death. Mary blames Roger for the loss of her infant son. Ben seems fine, though, and loves playing with the box his £40 tractor came in. Nicholas is Brian's son and Michael is Maggie's nonchalant marmalade cat.

13. Imelda Staunton and Hugh Laurie (Mary and Roger) are once more cast as husband and wife in...

From Quiz Peter's Friends

Answer: Sense and Sensibiltiy

Imelda Staunton appears in "Shakespeare in Love", Hugh Laurie in "Spice World" while Emma has none of the two.

14. Which actress co-wrote the movie?

From Quiz Peter's Friends

Answer: Rita Rudner

Rita Rudner wrote the script with her husband Martin Bergmann. Emma Thompson adapted Jane Austen's novel "Sense and Sensibility" and won an Oscar.
