Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Diana was not very impressed with her new neighbour, Tom, when he arrived at Bayview. What event changed her mind?

Answer: He organised opposition to the food

Diana was to have a five-season-long feud with the gardening staff, but it was Tom who flattened Harvey Baines' car, and at the very end of the series, almost does a bungee jump. It was is opposition to the food being served which gains admiration from Diana in the first episode.
2. Occasionally someone new came to Bayview and stirred things up a bit. One new resident, Daisy, seemed to be taking Diana's place as lead-resident. What was the final straw as far as Tom was concerned?

Answer: Daisy rearranged the tables in the dining room

Tom and Diana were having a few problems at this time, and Diana had put up a bamboo divider across their shared veranda space. It was only after Basil had spoken to Tom about losing either Daisy or Diana that Tom took action and organised a revolt in the dining room about the changes the (relatively) new resident had made.
3. We only get to know three residents of Bayview, Tom, Diana and Basil. What was special about Basil?

Answer: He was a great one for the ladies and was always chatting them up

Basil was a little chap who, even in his sunset years, believed that every person should have an active social life. It was his aim in life to prove this at every opportunity, and for the most part he appeared to succeed.
4. After the vicar lost it during a funeral, he confided in Tom and Diana that he was having a crisis of faith. Who eventually restored this troubled man back to life - if not the church?

Answer: Marion Ballard, Tom's daughter-in-law

All well and good, but Marion was an alcoholic pill-popping nymphomaniac who enticed the vicar to Wales with her. Throughout the series Marion had some wonderful scenes, not least of which was the one when she lay on the bonnet of Geoffrey's car in a drunken state and Geoffrey shouted at the impatient men in the line of cars behind. To a man they all listened to his woes, then got back into their cars to wait quietly.
5. After Tom and Diana took an extra step in their relationship, and stunned the whole of Bayview by waking up in the same (single) bed, they decided to go on a holiday together. What holiday did they take?

Answer: A journey on the Orient Express

In a later episode Tom was conned by Marion and a medium into believeing that his dead wife is unhappy with his relationship with Diana. To prove that this was a scam, Diana fed a trap in describing events of this trip for the medium to claim to be part of Tom's honeymoon.
6. What did Diana do when the local authority cut the spending on adult education classes in the arts?

Answer: She arranged for a painting class to be held in Bayview

Diana, being Diana, had to take it one step further, and she publicly humiliated Harvey at the same time, stripping him naked during an inspection. The next episode saw him in an institution recovering from a nervous breakdown and for once Diana found herself without support for her actions.
7. When Harvey started thinking of ways to utilize the space at Bayview by packing in more residents, Tom and Diana moved into action and looked around for something to protect. After Harvey removed the orchids, they decide to use frogs as their endangered species instead. According to this episode, which of the following statements is not true?

Answer: These particular frogs exist only in New Zealand

I don't know if it is true that one rule covers all in EU law (but it sounds about right), but it certainly worked for Tom and Diana who were able to prevent the planning permission going through the local council by claiming that the 'endangered' frog was resident in the grounds.
8. Jane was in love with Harvey from the very first episode, even though he did not return her devotion until the very end of the fifth series. What was the thing he said to her most often?

Answer: "Jane, you're touching me."

...and Jane would leap back, crushed. However, in the last series Harvey sees her in a new light and even goes as far as becomming a priest through a postal service to prove his worth to her.
9. Who was 'Fat Boy'?

Answer: Geoffrey

Geoffrey changed his persona into a Hells Angel to get his wife back again, but it backfires on him when he becomes Fat Boy for a time. Eventually even Marion wants the boring Geoffrey back again!
10. The final episode sees a double wedding ceremony. What was the outcome?

Answer: Harvey married Jane

After conning Diana into walking down the aisle (he threatened to do a bungee jump), Tom was the one who actually stopped the ceremony, much to Diana's relief. The series ended with Harvey and Jane getting married, something which would have been considered highly unlikely throughout the whole series of 'Waiting For God'.
