Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the first episode of Series 1, Tim puts Gareth's stapler in jelly. What colour is the jelly?

Answer: Yellow

It's the third time that Tim's done that. It wasn't even funny the first time. Gareth doesn't trust the way jelly moves.
2. An email containing a picture of David's head superimposed onto a pornographic image circulates around the office in Episode 2, much to David's dismay. Gareth is given the task of seeking out the culprit. Who is responsible for the image?

Answer: Finchy

Obviously embarrassed by the picture, David tries to hide this by telling the staff of Wernham Hogg, who have all seen the picture (even the cleaning lady, who doesn't even have access to email), that it offends women. Tim eventually reveals that Finchy used his computer to send the picture to David.
3. David and Chris "Finchy" Finch lost the quiz in Episode 3. Finchy couldn't handle losing, so instead he says that if he throws something over the pub, he wins the quiz. What does he throw over?

Answer: Tim's shoe

Finchy loses out to Ricky, the temp, who answered the question "Which Shakespeare play features a character called Caliban?" correctly (it's The Tempest, in case you were wondering). Being the bad loser that he is, Finchy demands a rematch, but settles on throwing an object over the pub. Tim's shoe becomes that object. If it makes it over, Finchy wins the quiz.

It made it over. Being the bad winner that he is, he rubs it in Tim and Ricky's faces.
4. In Episode 4, it's Staff Training Day. The staff gather in a room and are educated about the importance of customer care by an outside facilitator, Rowan. David brings his guitar in half way through, to Rowan's annoyance. Which of these songs does he not sing at the training seminar?

Answer: Handbags and Gladrags

David says he only plays songs he's written himself. Such 'hits' include "Spaceman" (which, according to David, is racial), a song that ends with "She's the serpent who guards the gates of Hell", and his favourite, "Freelove Freeway" (where the love is free and the freeway is long). Gareth and Tim harmonize to this song.
5. David decides to hire a secretary, because 'he needs one'. Later, he headbutts the applicant while showing off his football skills. What is the applicant's name?

Answer: Karen Roper

Knowing David, he hires Karen Roper, the young, attractive applicant has his secretary. Knowing David, he tries to impress Karen by showing off, in this case, his football skills. Unfortunately, he headbutts her, and gives her a black eye.
6. In Episode 6, David has to fire a warehouse employee. The employee accuses him of positive discrimination, as he fires an able bodied worker rather than a 'midget' that has to wear big platform shoes so his feet can reach the pedals on the forklift. What's the name of the 'midget'?

Answer: Anton

In the first episode of Series 1, in the very first scene, David is hiring an employee. In the first scene of Episode 6, David is firing an employee. There is a chance that this is the same person. He gets angry at David, asking why he gets fired over a 'midget' that operates forklifts.
7. In the first episode of Series 2, the new employees from Swindon are coming in. David upsets a few of the new people when he tells a joke that they find racist. How many of the women from Swindon put their hands up and say they find the joke offensive?

Answer: Two

The basis of the joke is the Royal family on Christmas Day, and Camilla Parker-Bowles suggests they play '20 Questions'. Unfortunately, two of the new women say they find the joke offensive, and that someone in David's position shouldn't be making jokes of that kind in the workplace.
8. Episode 2, and it's time for staff appraisals. When it's Keith's turn for his appraisal, David says that, on his form, under 'Strengths', he's put 'Accounts'. Under weaknesses, he put what?

Answer: Eczema

Apparently, Keith's strength is 'Accounts'. David replies that that's not really a strength, rather his job. Keith's weakness is eczema. On his feet.
9. It's Trudy's birthday in Episode 3, and she receives a vibrator as one of her presents. Tim is dared to hide the vibrator in David's office. He does so subtly. What does Tim hide it under?

Answer: David's diary

David gets approached by a company that is interested in using him as one of their business experts for company training days. He accepts the offer, and is asked if he has a diary to record some dates. Unbeknownst to him, he picks up his diary, and there is the vibrator hidden underneath it.
10. David gets his first 'gig' as a management expert in Episode 4. At the end of his presentation, he plays a Tina Turner song. What is it?

Answer: The Best

As much as David thinks he's motivational, his presentation doesn't go down that well with the trainees. As his speech comes to a close, he leaves the room as "The Best" blares out of his boombox.
11. In Episode 5, the staff of Wernham Hogg are participating in Red Nose Day, for Comic Relief. Neil and Rachel entertain with their dance routine, and David, not to be outdone, does a dance of his own, to the embarrassment of his co-workers. David describes his dance style as a fusion of MC Hammer and what?

Answer: Flashdance

David embarks on a 40 second impromptu dance routine when he brags that he can dance too after seeing Neil and Rachel disco dancing. The mood starts out good, with the staff clapping along, but the clapping stops, and it turns to staring at David in disbelief as he gyrates in a way that he calls 'dancing'.
12. David gets interviewed for a magazine for the paper industry in Episode 6. He frequently refers to himself in the third person in his replies, much to the interviewer's annoyance. What is the name of the magazine?

Answer: Inside Paper

The woman doing the interview asks several questions, and David replies in an unusual manner. For example, the woman says "Would you like to tell me about your individual outlook on management?", to which David replies, "Put 'David Brent is refreshingly laid back for a man with such responsibility.'"
13. In the first Christmas Special, David is now no longer a Wernham Hogg employee. Gareth took over his job, and David sued the company because he didn't want Gareth to have the same title. He won, and used the earnings to release a single, under his own record label. What is the name of David's record label?

Answer: Juxtaposition Records

David uses his £42,000 payout to release a single - a cover of Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff's "If You Don't Know Me By Now". He even recorded a music video for it.
14. In the first Christmas Special, Tim steals the keys to Gareth's office and locks him in. Gareth then calls the receptionist to get the keys back and unlock the door. What is the receptionist's name?

Answer: Mel

Mel has replaced Dawn as receptionist after she moved to the US with her fiance, Lee. Without Dawn there to laugh with, Tim feels as though his jokes are going to waste. Winding up Gareth without Dawn just isn't as good as before, it seems.
15. In the second Christmas Special, David says he is bringing a date to the Office Christmas party. He and Gareth then scour the internet dating sites for possible candidates. He goes through three blind dates to no avail. The fourth date arrives on the night of the party, and the two hit it off. What was the name of David's fourth blind date?

Answer: Carol

David and Carol get on from the moment they meet and both have a great night at the party. After returning to the office after seeing Carol off in a taxi, Finchy makes a rude remark about David's date. David doesn't take kindly to it, and replies with a two word phrase. You can probably guess what that is.
