Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the first episode, Vyvyan crashes through a wall carrying a severed leg wrapped in brown paper. He said he was supposed to write an essay on it for his course, but what did he say he was going to do with it instead?

Answer: Stick it on the bonnet of his car

At the end of that episode, you can clearly see the leg on the bonnet of his car as he drives towards the house.
2. When Rick says "I think Special Patrol Group is a silly name for a hamster", what does Vyvyan say he's going to change it to?

Answer: Cliff Richard

Vyvyan said "Ok, I'll change it then. Hello Cliff Richard", because he knew that Rick was a big Cliff Richard fan.
3. Every episode had a guest band. Which band featured in the episode "Bambi", and what song did they play?

Answer: Motorhead , "Ace of Spades"

The first episode of series two was about the guys being picked to go on the TV show "University Challenge", which was hosted by Bamber Gascoigne (played by Griff Rhys Jones). The guys had two minutes to get to the station and the song played as they made their way.
4. What was the name of the pub that the guys went to in the episode "Boring"?

Answer: The Kebab and Calculator

Vyvyan's mum was the barmaid in the pub. Rick commented on this by saying "Vyvyan, you never told us your mother was a bartender." Vyvyan's reply was "Well, she was a shoplifter when I knew her."
5. Neil attempted to kill himself by putting his head in an oven, but stopped because the oven was very dirty.

Answer: True

He turned the oven off and said "Oh wow, doesn't anyone ever suss out cleaning this oven other than me. This is so dirty. Uncool. I bet if you gathered up all the dirty ovens in the world, right, even the ones at the bottom of swamps, you wouldn't find one as dirty as this."
6. Which member of the Balowski family was a bit mad, and drank the contents of a goldfish bowl?

Answer: Billy

Alexei Sayle played all of the Balowski family members. Billy turned up at the house on a bike shouting "Who ordered a taxi".
7. In the episode "Interesting", the boys were tidying the house up for a party. Neil only had one friend coming to the party.

Answer: True

His name was also Neil and he was a hippie too, much to Rick's disgust. Rick locked him in the fridge for arriving at the party too early.
8. When Neil became a policeman, he had to go and raid Warlock's house. How did he announce his arival?

Answer: "Open up. It's the pigs."

One of the funniest lines in the series was when Warlock saw that Neil was a policeman. He thought that Neil had come to visit him in fancy dress and he shouted back into the house "It's cool, it's only Neil. Don't flush the toilet."
9. In the episode "Oil", what does Mike turn Rick's bedroom into?

Answer: roller disco

Robbie Coltrane played the bouncer standing guard at the room door. Rick then had to share Neil's bedroom for the night and wanted the bed. Neil didn't mind because he was an insomniac.
10. In whose bedroom was Buddy Holly hanging from the ceiling tangled in his parachute and holding his guitar?

Answer: Mike's

He said he had written a new song while he was there. He started to play it for Mike (who started to count how much money could be made), when the parachute ropes snapped causing Buddy to fall on his head and die. Thanks for playing.
