Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In which theatre was "Unrepeatable" filmed?

Answer: Albery Theatre

"Unrepeatable" was filmed in March 1994 during the last week of a seven week sold-out run at the Albery. The other theatres were the sites for: "Live at the Ambassador's", "Glorious" (Hammersmith Apollo) and "Definite Article" (Shaftesbury Theatre).

2. Complete the quote: "Certain people are widely read; I'm ______ read."

Answer: thinly

Eddie claims he hasn't read anything as he is partially dyslexic.

3. When doing his laundry at home, Eddie says that this item of clothing turns up late.

Answer: socks

Socks are late for the wash. Blue pants, on the other hand, smuggle themselves into the whites wash inside a shirt, disguised as a white hankerchief.

4. Mr. Izzard claims that the Surrealist Movement have been attacking Prince Charles. Apart from a starting pistol, which other "weapons" have been employed?

Answer: hairspray and bits of jelly

How much damage could you do with a starting pistol anyway?

5. Market sellers shout "four pence a pound", but how much do apples cost?

Answer: twenty quid

Pretty expensive fruit.

6. Your doctor is playing with a jumpy spider when he claims to be taking your blood pressure?

Answer: True

Eddie claims to have actually witnessed this and challenged his doctor, who confessed immediately.

Answer: Toffee Crisp

Eddie often mentions the strange reactions he gets, but finds that most people are actually fine about his mode of dress once they speak to him and find out he's just a normal bloke. Trivia: Kit-Kats are the best selling sweet in Britain.

8. Which of the twelve Apostles came up with the idea of chocolate eggs being handed out by bunnies at Easter?

Answer: Zebedee

Zebedee is really one of the 12 disciples, as well as a character in "The Magic Roundabout".

9. Point 5 of Bronze Survival Swimming is: when you fall into the water, quickly remove your _________ ?

Answer: pyjamas

This is true, as anyone who's had to take their bronze survival swimming will know. Eddie's idea that you can turn your pyjamas into a speedboat, however, is merely speculation.

10. In the "spider gravy" sketch, what is the name of the spider who adds the stock cube to the gravy?

Answer: Legs

Brian and Steve are names which Eddie uses a lot in his routines. In Unrepeatable, you find Steve the bird who can't read maps and Brian the bee who does the intricate pollen dance. Insy Winsy is, of course, famous for his spout climbing.

11. Eddie watches a lot of late night television, particularly the B-movie genre. Which of these titles does Eddie claim is an archetypal horror movie?

Answer: The Thing that Came from Somewhere

The two titles Eddie puts forward are "The Thing that Came from Somewhere" and "The House that Jack Built."

12. Who does *not* accompany James Mason to Castle Dracula?

Answer: Hagatha

Tabitha, Agatha and Bagatha accompany James Mason to Castle Dracula (via the pub). Eddie's James Mason impersonation features in many Izzard sketches. Other roles that have featured the voice of James Mason include God and Julius Caesar.

Answer: thimble

Eddie also points out that the cast never seem to listen to the spooky music which should give them a clue that they're heading towards certain death.

Answer: spaceship landing nearby

For the record, the full range of settings he recommends are (in order): limp; bit of a cough; depression; bad eyesight; ice-cream van nearby; sudden interest in botany; water in ear after swimming and oven left on at home.

15. How does "Unrepeatable" end?

Answer: Eddie returns to his dressing room, with no encore

Bizarrely, there's no encore in "Unrepeatable", just Eddie returning to his dressing room. The Minis feature at the end of "Definite Article" (which features a recurring "Italian Job" theme). The mock documentary "Lust For Glorious" sees Eddie indulge in stereotypical "big star" behaviour, such as wrecking hotel rooms and driving sports cars. Eddie rides a San Francisco streetcar/tram in the mini-documentary before "Dressed to Kill".
