Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What was Steve and Sebastian's catchprase which became synonymous with the show?

Answer: "Oh deary me"

Steve and Sebastian would say "Oh deary me!" every time one of them said something that sounded funny to them or if they'd slagged off something or someone and found it funny.
2. What was the name of the song that Sebastian entered into the Song For Europe competition to represent Scotland in the Eurovision Song Contest?

Answer: "Piff-Paff-Poff (I Want To Have It Off)"

Sebastian entered into the Song For Europe competition as Scotland's entry into the Eurovision Song Contest in the hope he would find fame and success. He also recruited Steve, Shona and Captain Duff to be part of his group but unfortunately came last in the competition with "nil points".
3. In the theme song, what were you to do to 'get that adrenaline flowing' "if you're feeling kinda tedious, if life is seriously mediocre"?

Answer: "Step aboard a Boeing going high"

The theme song was known for its lines about how flying would make you feel better about your life. In an interview, Alan Cumming admitted to making a mistake with the choreography in the last part of the opening titles and explained that in freeze-frame it could be seen that he was doing a Hitler-style salute by mistake instead of a seeking gesture. He later apologised for his mistake.
4. What was the amount of pay that Steve was to be docked as a result of turning up late to work with Sebastian?

Answer: £123.86

Steve had his pay docked for being late five times in a week which was an Air Scotia by-law. Steve tried to appeal against this punishment but to no avail.
5. What was the name of the Scottish rock star that had booked a flight for his daughter's ninth birthday?

Answer: Guy Werch

Guy Werch was the fictional lead singer of a Scottish rock band who were also fictional, The Ganting Screechs. Shona was very excited about the prospect of meeting him as she had been a fan since she was a teenager.
6. What was the job Guy Werch was going to offer Shona when they landed but she refused?

Answer: Nanny for his daughter Aurora Borealis

Shona mistook Guy's advances for flirting and thought she was going to be the next Mrs Werch. Unfortunately for her she was wrong and refused the job as she didn't like the prospect of being a nanny and not his wife.
7. What was the name of the Air Scotia mascot that Sebastian had to dress up as?

Answer: Shuggie McGurk

Shona made Sebastian dress up as Shuggie McGurk, a big black shaggy dog with a tartan collar. Sebastian found it very uncomfortable in the suit and he and Steve had trouble getting it off.
8. What was the name of the biscuit company whose owner took Shona, Steve and Sebastian hostage until Captain Duff arrived and saved them?

Answer: Stoat's

Stoat's was a biscuit factory whose owner had kidnapped the owner of a rival biscuit factory to try and torture her to unveil a secret recipe for tablet. Steve and Sebastian were taken hostage after failing to hand over the floppy disk that contained the secret recipe and Shona was taken hostage after trying to rescue them. It took Captain Duff to save them as he had been an ex-SAS agent.
9. What was Steve going to do before Sebastian talked him out of it?

Answer: Commit suicide

Steve felt that after Shona turned down the offer to sleep with him that he had nothing left in life to live for and was going to jump off a high building. Sebastian figured out where he was and started talking to him, unaware of what he was going to do, and eventually talked him out of it.
10. How many episodes did 'The High Life' consist of and how many series?

Answer: 6 episodes,1 series

Alan Cumming and Forbes Masson starred in and wrote six episodes of 'The High Life' which was enough for one series. Masson has previously said why there was no more than one series - the reason being it was written but never filmed.

Victor and Barry were characters who were created by Alan Cumming and Forbes Masson a couple of years before "The High Life" and Steve and Sebastian were loosely based on them except they were made to have Scottish accents instead of being quite posh and had more double-entendres in their comedy.
