Answer: Archie

2. Why were some people (Victoria's circle of family, friends, and advisers) opposed to the friendship of John and Victoria?

Answer: It brought bad press

It was bringing bad press to the monarchy that the queen was hanging around an old Scottish guy who liked to drink a lot of whiskey.

3. What activity did the queen suggest that she and her daughters do?

Answer: Go swimming

The Queen, surprisingly, wanted to get out a bit and she and her daughters went for a swim. I'm trying to imagine myself swimming in those primitive bathing suits that they wore.

4. Who played the role of Queen Victoria in the movie?

Answer: Judi Dench

She did a great job portraying Queen Victoria.

5. Billy Connolly, who portrayed John Brown, originally performed in what movie genre?

Answer: Comedy

He's really a comedic actor and the film shows his serious side.

6. John Brown was friends with one member of Victoria's family circle. Who was this person?

Answer: Prince Albert, her husband

He was friends with the queen's husband before he died so it was figured that he'd make a great companion for her (which it did).

Answer: Whiskey

John Brown is a Scottish Highlander and the Scots love their whiskey!

He was beat up to the point that 3 of his ribs were broken and his attackers poured alcohol on his face to make it seem like a drunken brawl.
