Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In the first episode we discover Gareth has a fear of which food?

Answer: Jelly

We find out after Tim encases his stapler in a jelly.

2. What is the actual name of Gareth's friend nicknamed 'The Ogg Monster'?

Answer: Nathan

The Ogg Monster appeared in the Comic Relief episode and was played by the series' co-writer Stephen Merchant.

3. Which of these was NOT among Gareth's choices for the sign on his 'office' when he was investigating who created the lewd picture of David?

Answer: Gareth Keenan investigator!

One of my favourite episodes. The dialogue between Gareth, Tim and Dawn is superb.

4. What was the name of the band David was a singer/songwriter for before joining Wernham Hogg?

Answer: Foregone Conclusion

If you ever have time, look for photos of when Ricky Gervais was in a band in the eighties. He looks like a member of Duran Duran.

5. In the episode with the training day, what was the name of the video they were required to watch?

Answer: Who Cares Wins

Another favourite. Especially considering how real the training day is.

6. In the very last scene of the second series, who does David quote?

Answer: Dolly Parton

The contrast in this scene is excellent. He appears to be finally saying something genuine and then tears it down with profanity.

7. Who did David think was the Cuban leader?

Answer: Frey Bentos

This he grudgingly admitted after goading from Chris Finch. Frey Bentos makes pies. Good ones.

8. What was the name of the toy Gareth wanted to use to comfort Rachel after Tim broke up with her?

Answer: Dirty Bertie

'Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Come on come on baby!'

9. The cleaner that twice freezes when the camera points at him is played by Stephen Merchant's father.

Answer: True

You find this out the DVD extras on the first series.

10. Which comedian is Lucy Davis' (Dawn's) father?

Answer: Jasper Carrott

In the DVD extras you learn that Lucy Davis was asked when she changed her name to Davis. She replied with 'At what point did you think Davis was the made up name?' Good work.
