2. Which of the following characters did David Walliams play in "Too Rude to Live"?

Answer: Anthony Cream Jr

Both David Walliams and Matt Lucas starred in "Too Rude to Live", the last compilation of sketches and interviews to be released. Matt Lucas starred as The Quill, the host of a formal chat show. David Walliams also played the presenter of "Artshole".

Answer: Bus

He manages to "hi-jack" a double-decker bus taking people on a tour of London.

5. What did Kevin Costner famously call Dennis Pennis?

Answer: A real low budget guy

Considering who he was insulting, Costner didn't really think up a good line. Adding insult to...well, insult, after Costner shouted out that Pennis was a "real low budget guy", Pennis called back "I'm proud of it!"

6. Which of the following characters was Dennis's manager?

Answer: Brian Munich

Ken was a goal keeper, Tony was an anti-Pennis protester, and Labien was a composer.

7. Pennis wore glasses as protection - in case someone tried to hit him.

Answer: True

Because of the nature of the questions/interviews, there was always the worry that someone - most probably a bouncer - may well hit Pennis. It was for this reason Paul Kaye decided to wear the thick black-framed glasses.

8. To whom did Pennis ask the following question: "If it wasn't gratuitous in any way and it was tastefully done, would you consider keeping your clothes on in a movie?"

Answer: Demi Moore

Demi didn't have anything to say to that, and simply walked away from a grinning Pennis.

9. Which of the following products was NOT advertised in the Strutter-Gear infomercial in "Too Rude to Live"?

Answer: Handsome Coke Sniper

The Strutter-Gear Handsome Coke Sniper appeared later in the TV series "Strutter". The rest of the products were advertised in "Too Rude to Live", and the Suicide Note Machine was used later in the programme when Mike Strutter kills Dennis Pennis.

10. To whom did Pennis ask "Why aren't you funny anymore?"

Answer: Steve Martin

The question unintentionally caused much fuss at the BBC. However, Pennis continued regardless, until the character's demise in 1997.
