Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. A: In what 1960's TV show did we first meet Uncle Fester, Cousin Itt and Wednesday?

Answer: The Addams Family

Other members of the family included Morticia and Gomez, the parents; Pugsley, Wednesday's little brother; and Grandmama. This creepy family is not to be confused with 'The Munsters' a show that came out in the same year, 1964.

2. B: What 'B' is the name of Beavis's best friend?

Answer: Butthead

Just as 'The Simpsons' began as a short cartoon skit in 'The Tracey Ullman Show' but went on to be highly successful in its own right, 'Beavis and Butthead' first featured on the show 'Liquid Television' before the boys got their own show and movie. Mike Judge was the creator and voices of both Beavis and Butthead.

3. C: In which U.S. city is 'E.R.' set?

Answer: Chicago

Set in the Emergency Room (hence 'E.R.') of a Chicago hospital. The show was first aired in the US in 1994.

Answer: Danes

Claire Danes was Juliet in Baz Luhrmann's version of 'Romeo and Juliet', she was Beth March in 'Little Women', Kate Brewster in 'Terminator 3: The Rise of the Machines' and Maria in 'Stage Beauty'. 'My So-called Life', though brilliant, only ran for one season and co-starred Jared Leto.

Answer: Exterminate! Exterminate!

The Daleks were somehow terrifying despite the fact they were easily defeated by running either up or down a flight of stairs!

Answer: Farrell

'Ballykissangel' was about a young, English, catholic priest who moves to 'BallyK' and falls in love with the pretty Irish barmaid. Colin Farrell played a quiet young farm boy named Danny Byrne.

7. G: What is the name of the British show where a team of experts do a make-over on a garden?

Answer: Ground Force

This very English programme is probably as well-known/well-loved in the U.K. for the gardening tips to be picked up from Alan Titchmarsh (the expert gardener) as for the fact that his co-worker, Charlie Dimmock, wears tight tops and no bra!

Answer: Henderson, Harry

'Harry and the Hendersons' was the TV show that followed on from the 1987 film 'Harry and the Hendersons'.

9. I: Raymond Burr, famous for playing Perry Mason, also played a wheelchair bound policeman. What was his name?

Answer: Ironside

'Perry Mason' ran from 1957-1966; 'Ironside' was first aired in 1967. My favourite thing about Ironside was the fact that in the van they drove around in there was a fully functioning, old-fashioned telephone that didn't seem to need to be plugged in to anything! The birth of the mobile phone perhaps?!

10. J: What 'J' is the first name of the actress who plays Sydney Bristow in 'Alias', the actress who plays Edina in 'Absolutely Fabulous' and the actress who played Sarah in 'Party of Five'?

Answer: Jennifer

15. O: In 'Sesame Street' what 'O' is the first name of 'the Grouch'?

Answer: Oscar

Oscar the Grouch is a cantankerous character, as his name would suggest, who lives in a dustbin.

16. P: What profession was Dixon of Dock Green in the series 'Dixon of Dock Green'?

Answer: Policeman

'Dixon of Dock Green' is a real old favourite of British television. Dixon epitomised the idea of the 'bobby on the beat'. It was first aired in 1955.

17. Q: What is the name of the pub in the British soap 'Eastenders'?

Answer: Queen Vic

The Queen Victoria is the focal point for much of the action - it's where Dirty Den served Angie divorce papers on Christmas day, where Grant discovered his wife had slept with his brother, and where every engagement, break-up, birth, death and marriage is announced! (Not to mention karaoke nights, pub quizzes and darts matches...)

18. R: What 'R' is the first name of the actor, Mr R. Atkinson, who plays Edmund Blackadder and Mr Bean?

Answer: Rowan

In series 2, 3 and 4 of 'Blackadder', Edmund B is a witty, sarcastic, intelligent, cynical man and Baldrick is his dimwitted sidekick. However, in the very first series of 'Blackadder' Edmund was the idiot and his servant Baldrick was the smart one. This original incarnation is much closer to the character of Mr Bean.
