Young Ones Trivia Questions
1. In what way does Vyvyan enter in the episode 'Demolition'?

From Quiz "The Young Ones"

Answer: Through the wall

He enters through the wall holding a severed leg wrapped in brown parcel paper. Only Vyvyan could enter a room this way!

2. The first thing that Rick and Vyv do when they get inside the new house is to rush upstairs to claim their bedrooms. Inevitably they have a big fight over who should have the best bedroom; how do they resolve this issue?

From Quiz "The Young Ones" Episode Two "Oil"

Answer: Vyv sets fire to the bed and they both tell Neil that it is his room

Rick and Vyv very rarely agree about anything but once Vyv has set fire to the bed they do agree it should be Neil's room, "Neil! - your bedroom's on fire!" 'Best bedroom' in this case is a comparative term; there is hardly any furniture, the decor is terrible (except for a print of "The Fighting Temeraire") and the bed looked most uncomfortable even before the fire - lucky Neil!

3. In 'Demolition,' how does Vyvyan enter?

From Quiz "Young Ones" Vyvyan

Answer: Through the wall

He entered the room through the wall, which surprised Mike a little bit because sometimes he comes through the door. Sometimes he even opens it.

4. Which part of Vyvyan's dirty washing 'escapes' to terrorise the four students?

From Quiz "The Young Ones" on "University Challenge"

Answer: Sock

The students have not washed their clothes since "23rd October 1981" so the contents of the laundry bag are somewhat ripe! Vyvyan's sock escapes which cause much consternation amongst the four, Vyv retrieves the situation by 'killing' it with a frying pan. He is urged on by Rick and the supposed pacifist, Neil.

5. Episode one introduces us to the four students. In the opening scenes which one of the four is dancing around to a version of Cliff Richard's "The Young Ones"?

From Quiz "The Young Ones" Episode 1 "Demolition"

Answer: Rick

The series begins by showing Rick dancing around to a version of "The Young Ones" sung by the cast of the show. We learn that Cliff is Rick's favourite singer. Neil is stirring a pot in the kitchen, Mike and Vyvyan have yet to appear. The Cast of "The Young Ones" later teamed up with Sir Cliff to record a version of "Living Doll" for charity. The single went to number one.

6. "Some sod broke your chair". In "Summer Holiday" Mr Bolovsky claims that is what happens when you

From Quiz Look Out - Cliff! "The Young Ones" Series 2

Answer: have parties

The landlord, Mr Bolovsky, was charging the boys ludicrous fees for any reason he could find - or create himself. When asked to leave the "private party" Mr Bolovsky broke into a dance which resulted in him breaking a chair.

7. In the first episode, Vyvyan crashes through a wall carrying a severed leg wrapped in brown paper. He said he was supposed to write an essay on it for his course, but what did he say he was going to do with it instead?

From Quiz "The Young Ones" Mania

Answer: Stick it on the bonnet of his car

At the end of that episode, you can clearly see the leg on the bonnet of his car as he drives towards the house.

8. Who is talking about Mary in the episode "Bambi"?

From Quiz "The Young Ones" Series 2

Answer: Rick

Rick was talking about Mary for the last 10 minutes and no-one was listening.

9. 'Demolition' What is Rik's response when Mike says, "I'm depressed! It's Nine Below Zero!"?

Answer: "He's blummin' right, you know!"

This is immediately followed by Nine Below Zero playing "Eleven Plus Eleven", accompanied by Rik and Vyvyan headbanging.

10. Which band featured in the first episode?

From Quiz "Young Ones" - Guest Bands

Answer: Nine Below Zero

South London blues band Nine Below Zero performed "Eleven Plus Eleven", a song about the misery of being twenty two. In this first episode, "Demolition", the boys have been served an eviction notice because the house is being knocked down. In the second episode they live somewhere else.

11. 'Demolition' How does Vyvyan first enter the kitchen?

From Quiz "The Young Ones" Part 1

Answer: Through the wall

Neil: "Oh, yeah, right, why don't you just sit in the supper, Vyv?" Rik: "Vyvyan, you might've washed your hands!"

12. In the episode 'Sick', Rick can't write to his MP because he's an anarchist. Who does he write to instead?

From Quiz The Young Ones

Answer: The lead singer of Echo and The Bunnymen

'Dear Mr. Echo...'

13. What was the last line spoken at the end of the final episode?

From Quiz The Young Ones? How Anarchic!

Answer: 'Phew! That was close!'

This was after the bus crashed through the big sign with Cliff Richard on it.

14. Who is the 'cool' one of the group?

From Quiz "The Young Ones"

Answer: Mike

Mike is the 'cool' one - he frequently refers to himself as 'Mike the cool person'. You can see by the way he acts that he thinks very highly of himself. Vyvyan respects him.

15. Vyvyan enters a competition to try and win the top prize which is a 'Ford Tippex'. Which type of product is promoting the competition?

From Quiz "The Young Ones" Episode Three "Boring"

Answer: Cornflakes

To win the car Vyv has first to match six famous noses with six famous bogies. Then has to describe cornflakes in ten words...so he writes, "Cornflakes, cornflakes, cornflakes, cornflakes, cornflakes, cornflakes, cornflakes, cornflakes, cornflakes." Rick points out the obvious flaw in Vyv's assessment: that there are only nine words, so Vyv adds another "cornflakes" and submits the entry coupon.

16. In 'Oil,' what happened to Vyvyan when he was digging for oil?

From Quiz "Young Ones" Vyvyan

Answer: He gets a pick axe through his head

It looked very sore but it was Neil's fault. He was the one who slammed the pick axe through his head. So blame Neil!

17. In a typically bizarre sketch Robbie Coltrane plays Dr Carlisle and Tony Robinson plays Dr ___.

From Quiz "The Young Ones" on "University Challenge"

Answer: Not The Nine O'Clock News

The scenes were an unlikely parody of "The Elephant Man" and featured a real elephant! Tony Robinson is best remembered as the hapless Baldrick in the "Blackadder" series. The lead role in "Blackadder" was played by Rowan Atkinson who first came to national attention in the sketch show "Not The Nine O'Clock News".

18. Vyvyan is the last of the four students to put in an appearance; what is he carrying as he crashes into the room?

From Quiz "The Young Ones" Episode 1 "Demolition"

Answer: A severed leg

Typically, Vyvyan arrives by crashing through the wall. He is pleased with his trophy from the morgue and sets about attaching the leg to the front of his car as a mascot!

19. In "Cash", which Young One was coerced into getting a job?

From Quiz "The Young Ones" Mania

Answer: Cliff Richard

Vyvyan said "Ok, I'll change it then. Hello Cliff Richard", because he knew that Rick was a big Cliff Richard fan.

21. What was the name of the washing powder Neil put in the lentil casserole?

22. 'Oil' Who blew up the cupboard under the stairs?

From Quiz "The Young Ones" Part 2

Answer: Neil

Rik and Neil were in there for the house meeting. The dust got into Neil's sinuses, which caused him to sneeze and blow up the cupboard.

23. Which band did Mike tell to "Set up in our toilet"?

From Quiz "Young Ones" - Guest Bands

Answer: Dexys Midnight Runners

Mike says "But I told them to set up in our toilet" in response to Rik's list of demands to Maggie Thatcher, one of which is "Dexys Midnight Runners to play free, daily, in the university library". Dexys were the guest band in episode four, entitled "Bomb". The boys find a bomb leaning up against their fridge. It is this bomb that Rik wants to use as a bargaining tool against Maggie Thatcher - Prime Minister of the time.

24. 'Oil' What game was Vyvyan playing in the cellar when he supposedly struck oil?

From Quiz "The Young Ones" Part 1

Answer: Murder in the Dark

Vyvyan explained to the other boys that "I was playing Murder in the Dark in the cellar, and I was getting REALLY bored, so I thought, 'I know! I'll crack the floor with my head!' And when I did this huge spurt of oil came out!" We find out at the end of the episode, after the credits, that Vyvyan was lying about the oil.

29. Alexei Sayle turns up in the guise of demented taxi driver Billy Balowski, the brother of the students' landlord Jerzei. Billy gives the boys a note from his brother before launching a tirade about high-rise living. What does the note say?

From Quiz "The Young Ones" Episode Three "Boring"

Answer: Dear boys - Don't let Billy near the goldfish bowl...

Billy insists someone has ordered a taxi but nobody has. He also has a note for the students from his brother Jerzei but demands a drink before he will allow them to read it. He drains the content of the goldfish bowl including the goldfish before Rick snatches the note which reads; "Dear boys - Don't let Billy near the goldfish bowl...". The warning is too late I'm afraid.
