Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the episode, "The Big Lock-Out," there is a little man in the hair of the installer of the security system. What kind of little man is it?

Answer: Subbuteo player

Subbuteo, while nearly unknown in the United States, is well-known enough in the UK to be widely mentioned throughout pop culture, including references by musicians (Half Man Half Biscuit, The Undertones), comedians (Eddie Izzard), writers (Niccolo Ammaniti, Irvine Welsh) and many others.
2. In the episode, "The Big Lock-Out," the "SAS Survival Handbook" says it is important to maintain radio contact. In his absinthe-induced haze, Manny tries to communicate with BBC Radio 4. What does Manny say are his coordinates?

Answer: Bookshop

Manny's actual coordinates were:
Latitude: 51.52648
Longitude: -0.124887

(These coordinates are based on the actual location of Collinge and Clark, the bookshop used for exterior shots.)
3. In the episode, "The Big Lock-Out," Fran is infatuated with Howell Granger, who is "still beavering away at Radio 4." What does he read on air?

Answer: "I'm in the Mood for Dancing"

Though "I'm in the Mood for Dancing" was the top hit for The Nolans, they were far from being one-hit wonders. They had two other Top 10 hits and an additional four Top 20s.

Answer: A little bird

Many famous men have had beards, including Abraham Lincoln, Sigmund Freud, Ernest Hemingway and Professor Dumbledore.
