    Who would "put their head where some horrid girly's bottom's been?"'The Young Ones'

      Vyvyan. Though I'm sure Mike would, due to his constant mention of being the one that gets all the girls, Vyv says he would in 'Summer Holiday' when they are about to rob the bank with water pistols from Tesco's and dodgy sunglasses to get themselves off the streets. They were kicked out by Jertzy after he found his rug ruined, his chair and window broken (he broke both them, of course, he came in through the window. He then heard it was a party and danced about until he smashed the chair), the TV smashed from when Vyvyan kicked it, and the fridge door exploded after Vyv put a grenade in there. It took awhile to explode, but it did at just the right (or wrong) moment.

    What happens to Vyvyan's vodka in 'Sick'?'The Young Ones'

      he makes a petrol bomb. "Thanks, Vyv, that petrol bomb really cleared my sinuses." Vyv's mum (sort-of) replaces it later, but the bottle she gives him is actually empty.

    Felicity Kendal, the woman that Rik loves, stars in which well-known (now defunct) English series?'The Young Ones'

      the good life. "If you've got anything horrid to say about Felicity Kendal, you can blumming well say it to me first!"

      Miss Money-Sterling. Yes, she was on 'The Young Ones' as Miss Money-Sterling, one of the four representatives of Footlights College Oxbridge. The others were Lord Monty (Hugh Laurie, of 'Blackadder'), Lord Snot (Stephen Fry, also of 'Blackadder'), and Mr. Kendell Mintcake (Ben Elton, one of the writers of 'The Young Ones' and 'Blackadder', who had small roles in 'The Young Ones' and in 'Blackadder').

    What does 'SPG' stand for?'The Young Ones'

      Special Patrol Group . "Okay then, I'll change it! Hello Cliff Richard!"

    As Neil said in the episode 'Bomb', he should have a penny for every time he answered the door. How much did he say he would have by then?'The Young Ones'

      five pounds sixty three. "But Neil, you like meeting people."

    What is the telly detector man's first name?'The Young Ones'

      Right Bleeding . "All my friends do, or did..."

    In the episode 'Flood', what children's television show is parodied?'The Young Ones'

      The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. "Would you like some Turkish Delight, my child?" "Not particularly. You got any kebabs?"

    In 'Interesting', where does Neil's friend come from?'The Young Ones'

      the vacuum cleaner. He gets sucked up Vyvyan's 'black hole' vacuum cleaner, then Rik ends up pushing him in the fridge.
