1. Which of the following Victoria Wood songs do these lyrics come from? 'I don't like shorts, or slingback shoes My only pair of trousers are my gardening trews!'

Answer: Pam

'Can I tell you who I am? I'm Pamela Patricia, but they call me Pam. I don't like shorts, or sling back shoes. My only pair of trousers are my gardening trews. I don't say "who". I do say "whom". I never use the toilet, just the smallest room.' The song goes on to reveal shocking facts about the seemingly staid Pam.

2. Can you complete the lyrics of this saucy little Victoria Wood ditty? (Remember guys, keep it clean!) 'To quote Milton, To eat Stilton, To roll in gay abandon on the...' what?

Answer: Tufted Wilton

This is from 'The Ballad Of Barry And Freda' Other lyrics include 'I'm imploring, I'm boring, let me read this catalogue on vinyl flooring'.

3. In Victoria's song 'Saturday Night', which is done to the tune of 'Oh dear, what can the matter be, three old ladies stuck in a lavatory', what are the names of the two main characters?

Answer: Tracey Clegg and Nicola Battersby

Before her original performance of this song, Victoria sat at the piano, turned to the audience, and said 'This one is good fun to sing, and was no trouble to write as the tune is nicked.' At least she's honest.

4. In the song 'Andrea', what does Andrea say that her grandmother would tell her?

Answer: 'We'll win, it'll all begin, when our ship comes in, we'll have a better day. A better day.

'Andrea' is a plaintive song about a 17-year-old girl and her home life. As is mentioned in her song, she lives with her mother and stepfather, and her sister has already left home. She is desperate to get out of her situation, and gets a great piece of advice from her grandmother. 'We'll win, it'll all begin, when our ship comes in, we'll have a better day. A better day'.

5. Can you complete these lyrics from the fantastic Victoria Wood song, 'Northern Boy'? 'I'm just a simple northern boy. I'm sure you understand. Love makes me shy, And that is why I've brought along my own...' what?

Answer: brass band

'They're free. It's just a hobby. That's what all the noise was in the lobby!'. We're not all like that. I promise you.

6. Where is the hilarious song 'Don't Get Cocky' set?

Answer: Slimming club

This is a fantastic song with a great opening speech in which Victoria Wood comments on how the dancing troupe range 'from the slightly wobbly to the 'Excuse me, who's put a frock on this elephant?'. Lyrics from this song include 'Just take Valerie, wouldn't know a calorie if it came and bit her on the leg. Starves all day, and then gives way, has eighty bacon butties and a large fried egg.'

7. From which Victoria Wood song do these lyrics come? 'Could have a morbid fear of mothballs or a similar neurosis, Could be awfully outgoing with dreadful halitosis'

Answer: Count Your Blessings

This song was performed on Victoria's regular slot on BBC2, 'Victoria Wood - As seen on TV', and was shown in November 1986.

8. According to the Victoria Wood song 'Fourteen Again', what number was sex referred to by her and her fellow fourteen-year-olds?

Answer: 10

This is taken from the first verse of 'Fourteen Again', which goes like this:

'I want to be fourteen again,
When sex was just called number ten,
And I was up to seven and a half.
Boys were for love, girls were for fun.
You burst out laughing if you saw a nun.
Sophistication was a sports car and a chiffon scarf.'

9. According to her song 'Had It Up To Here', which particular joke is Victoria Wood sick and tired of hearing (particularly when told by men)?

Answer: The one about the nun, the marrow, the banana, and John Noakes

According to the song, Victoria will 'stay at home in her pyjamas, watch a programme about llamas'. She also claims that she won't need any lip-gloss or Amplex, 'just Ovaltine and buns for one'.

10. True or False? Victoria Wood released three issues of her song book 'Lucky Bag: The Victoria Wood Song Book'.

Answer: False

Victoria only released two issues, called (rather obviously), 'Lucky Bag: The Victoria Wood Song Book', issues one and two.
