'Cutting It' Basic Trivia - Series One Quiz

Answer: Hairdresser

The programme was set in and around the world of hairdressing and Allie Henshall was the main character in the show. Her sisters Darcey and Sydney were a beautician and a nail technician respectively, and Allie's old friend Eugene was her accountant.

Answer: Henshall Ferraday

Allie and her husband Gavin Ferraday ran the salon together in the first series. Later on, things got a lot more complicated when Allie's ex-boyfriend Finn and his new wife Mia opened a rival salon across the street which was called Blade Runners.

Answer: Ruby

Ruby came to work in Allie's salon, without Allie knowing who she really was. Allie named her Tilly when she was born, but her name was changed by her adoptive parents.

Answer: Manchester City

Eugene, in addition to being the accountant for the salon, also started a fitness club for Manchester City fans who no longer want to be ridiculed at matches by fans of the opposing team.

Answer: Bevan

A lot of old feelings were stirred up for Allie when Finn and Mia Bevan arrived in Manchester. Finn left Allie when she told him she was pregnant and allowed him to believe that she later lost the baby. They found out at the end of the series that Ruby, the loud-mouthed salon junior, is their daughter.

Answer: Sarah Parish

Sarah Parish also starred in the popular BBC drama 'Blackpool'. Amanda Holden played Mia, Angela Griffin played Darcey and Sian Reeves played Sydney.

Answer: Byzantium

Finn was a wealthy businessman who bought properties and developed them into businesses, such as his wife Mia's salon, and Byzantium, which was a bar/nightclub.

Answer: Chantal

Chantal Morisot was Finn's third wife, Mia was his fourth. He met Mia when she was working for Chantal, who was also a hairdresser. Mia and Allie attended a hairdressing course run by Chantal, who took great pleasure in picking on everything Mia did. This was because she was still very angry that Mia 'stole' Finn from her.

Answer: Shane

Shane was one of the stylists at Henshall Ferraday. He had been giving information to Mia in return for money, and in the process had been helping her to ruin Allie's business. He intended to go to work for Mia when Henshall Ferraday went bust.

Answer: False

Mia won. This was because Finn felt so guilty about about wanting to get back together with Allie that he bribed the judges to let Mia win. At the end of series one, Allie was forced to choose between Gavin, her husband, and Finn, her ex who she never really got over. She chose Finn because she felt she had to find out if things would have worked out for them. Thanks for playing.
