Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In what way does Vyvyan enter in the episode 'Demolition'?

Answer: Through the wall

He enters through the wall holding a severed leg wrapped in brown parcel paper. Only Vyvyan could enter a room this way!

2. Who is the 'cool' one of the group?

Answer: Mike

Mike is the 'cool' one - he frequently refers to himself as 'Mike the cool person'. You can see by the way he acts that he thinks very highly of himself. Vyvyan respects him.

3. What is Neil's only friend's name?

Answer: Neil

Neil's only friend is introduced in the episode 'Interesting' and has, in fact, got the same name as him.

4. Which of these bands does NOT appear in ANY episode of "The Young Ones"?

Answer: The Jam

Each episode of 'The Young Ones' has a band in it, which is because the BBC would put their show under the category 'Variety' if they included a band in each episode, rather than under the category 'Light Entertainment'. All but one episode - episode 6, series 1 - has a band, as in the episode 'Flood', they had a lion tamer instead.

5. What is Neil's specialty?

Answer: Lentils

Neil is your predictable, stereotypical 'hippie' - vegetarian, long hair, etc. etc. As they are all students, it seems all they can afford is lentils. Which, of course, Neil has to cook.

6. Where did Mike tell Dexys Midnight Runners to set up?

Answer: Bathroom

Mike told Dexys Midnight Runners to set up in the bathroom. They perform their song 'Jackie Wilson Said'.

7. Complete the sentence. 'You have won first prize in a beauty contest. _______.'

Answer: Smash Rick over the head with the bank

This is a sentence from the episode 'Boring', whilst the boys are playing Monopoly. Vyvyan has 'ruined' all the cards (according to Rick) because - Vyvyan claims - he 'was bored'.

8. Which of these was NOT one of "The Young Ones"?

Answer: Madonna

Of course, Madonna was never a 'Young One'.

9. In which episode does Madness appear, singing 'House of Fun'?

Answer: Boring

Madness perform their song 'House of Fun' in the episode 'Boring'. They also return in the second series to perform their song 'Our House' in the episode 'Sick', and end up having a fight in the middle of the street.

10. Which 'Young One' went to Narnia first?

Answer: Vyvyan

It was Vyvyan.

'Do you want some Turkish Delight, young boy?'

'Um, not really, no.'
