CHERUB: The Recruit Trivia Quiz

Answer: Samantha Jennings

During science class, Samantha Jennings was making jokes about James' mother being fat. James got annoyed and pushed her against a wall and she cut her face on a nail. James then ran out of the class, pushing the teacher in the process. Samantha required stitches and her big brother, Greg, swore revenge on James.

Answer: To shoot plastic targets

James did not have to shoot plastic targets. He had to kill a chicken with a pen by sticking it in his throat. He passed this test, but only just, as he was bullied into doing it. James was asked to jump into a pool and get a brick. He refused as he couldn't swim, but still passed as he showed good judgement. James crossed the obstacle course so he passed that test.

He also had to fight an experienced fighter and pass some written tests.

Answer: Amy Collins

Amy Collins taught James how to swim. She needed to teach him how to swim 50 metres. He couldn't do it so she got the help of two older CHERUB agents called Paul and Arif. They scared James until he was more scared of them than he was of swimming and he swam 50 meters.

Answer: Dennis King

Dennis King is one of the senior mission controllers. Bruce told James to tag along on his mission because Dennis King wouldn't notice. James wanted to go so he could visit his sister. James and Bruce got caught so Bruce was punished but James wasn't because he was new to CHERUB and he wanted to see his sister.

Answer: Nicole

Nicole quit on the first day of training because she couldn't put up with Mr Large's bullying about her weight. She was back in fifteen minutes begging to be let back in but Mr Large just told her to lose some weight or she would never make it. Callum had to drop out near Christmas because he broke his arm.

Answer: Malaysia

For the final few days of his 100 day basic training James went to Malaysia. He had to reach certain checkpoints in a certain time to pass. If he failed to reach one of the checkpoints on time then he would have to start basic training from day one. James did reach all of the checkpoints on time and passed basic training.

Answer: Grey

James got the grey shirt for passing basic training. If a CHERUB agent wears a grey shirt it means that they qualify for missions. A navy shirt means that the agent has performed well on a single mission. A black shirt means that the CHERUB has been outstanding throughout a number of missions.

The red shirts are for CHERUB agents that can not qualify for basic training, usually because they are less ten years old. A red shirt would also be needed if the agent can not swim 50 metres or if the agent can't complete the height obstacle.

There is also an orange t-shirt for guests, a white t-shirt for retired CHERUB agents and staff and a blue t-shirt for agents that are in basic training.

Answer: Ewart Asker

Ewart was the mission controller for James' first mission. A mission controller is in charge of the CHERUB agent's safety. James thought Ewart was an alright mission controller.

Answer: Anthrax

James stuck his head in a box that Ewart suspected contained anthrax. He got injections and pills to contain it and when he got to hospital he was given drugs in case he had anthrax. It was later discovered that James did not have enough anthrax in his body to kill him as there was only a weak strain of the disease in the box.
