Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In the episode, "The Seer of the Sands", between which two words does the harvest-fly land?

Answer: "no" and "one"

The cause of the suicide in this episode was a harvest-fly that rather unfortunately landed on a fax message, and appeared to be a comma.

2. In the series 3 episode, "The Omega Man", from what substance is the skeleton made?

Answer: mercury

The skeleton strangely vanishes into thin air in this episode. Jonathan works out that the mercury had melted and therefore appeared to vanish.

3. In the first ever episode, "The Wrestler's Tomb", artist Hedley Shale specialises in what kind of paintings?

Answer: Nude women

These paintings are shown at the very beginning.

4. In "Mother Redcap", Jonathan invites the police officer, Fay, to lunch. What weird habit does she have?

Answer: Sticking out her tongue when she eats

This police officer actually turns out to be the murderer.

5. In "The Eyes of Tiresias", what is Tiresias?

Answer: A goldfish

The fish is named after a blind soothsayer from Thebes.

6. What does Lady Theresa Cutler put in Sylvester Le Fley's sandwich?

Answer: A stinging nettle

The sandwich incident arises from Lady Theresa's jealousy when Sylvester's masseuse massages him.

7. In "The Reconstituted Corpse" what is Zola's boyfriend?

Answer: a Swedish swimming instructor

Maddy has trouble saying this to Zola!

8. Jonathan Creek is obssessed when - in "No Trace of Tracy" - he meets the band member of which rock group?

Answer: Edwin Drood

It may have been that producer David Renwick based this band on Uriah Heep. They are both named after Charles Dickens' characters.

9. Which of these episodes was a Christmas special?

Answer: "Black Canary"

Even if you did not now that "Black Canary" was made for Christmas, the constant snowy scenes should have been a clue.

10. Which one of these statements about the episode, "Danse Macabre" is INCORRECT?

Answer: The victim was killed with a dagger

Both Lorna and Tom wore the skeleton costume. Books written by Emma Lazarus provided inspiration for her own murder. At the end of the episode, the obsessed stalker could not let Emma go, so therefore took her head as a souvenir. However, the victim was not killed with a dagger, she was killed with a gun.
