Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the name of Howard's office colleague who does her level best to prevent the marriage from going ahead?

Answer: Cassie

We first meet Cassie at the office party that Howard's colleagues throw to celebrate his forthcoming marriage. Cassie puts a damper on procedings by telling the assembled guests that she is pregnant with Howard's baby! This is not true: it transpires that they did have a one-night-stand some two years previously but nothing has happened between them since then. Cassie however is still infatuated with Howard.
2. Mel's father, Dick, is a judge; he doesn't approve of Howard and is not keen on having him as a son-in-law. What does Howard give Dick as a present?

Answer: A box of prophylactics

Howard mixed the presents up: the box was supposed to be for Ben, his best man! Ben was more than impressed when he received the expensive watch meant for Dick.
3. Howard and Mel pay a visit to Howard's dad, Ronnie, and his new girlfriend, Trish. What job does Trish do?

Answer: Dancer

She says she prefers "pole to lap" and then gives Howard an example of her style of dancing, Howard's face is a picture!
Mel is a vet, and Howard's secretary is called Eve.
4. Mel's mother, Angela, dotes upon her pet dog, Binky. How does Howard manage to kill Binky?

Answer: Howard puts Binky into a cement-mixer encasing him in concrete.

Dick is in the process of building a wall in his garden. Howard offers to help and although Dick has reservations, he tells Howard to mix some cement. Howard is not concentrating on the job and inadvertantly shovels poor Binky into the mixer with fatal consequences for the pampered pooch.
Howard had previously put Binky into the grandfather clock to prevent the dog from growling at him.
5. Angela, Mel's mother, is not the best cook in the world. When she cooks goulash for dinner, which of these actions does Howard not do with the chunks of meat?

Answer: Feeds them to Binky the dog.

Howard finds the goulash almost inedible but doesn't wish to upset his future mother-in-law. He first tries to secrete the chunks of meat in his pocket, then tries unsuccessfully to flush them down the toilet, finally he throws them out of an upstairs window but miscalculates his position and they land on top of the conservatory, for all to see.

A better course of action may well have been to feed them to the dog!
6. How does Howard manage to put Mel's grandmother in hospital?

Answer: He slides down the bannister and knocks her unconscious.

Howard and Mel are messing about, Mel shows Howard how she used to slide down the bannister when she was younger. Howard playfully follows her down but unfortunately, grandmother is crossing the bottom of the stairs, whoops!
7. Dick's brother, Fraser, is a military man. He arrives a few days before the wedding to be in charge of security. What secret does he entrust to Howard?

Answer: He is gay.

Fraser is disconcerted by Howard's references to him as a "man's man" and suspects that Howard has realised his sexuality. Fraser 'comes out' to Howard expecting him to be shocked but Howard has far more worrying things to be concerned with.
8. Ben, the best man, organises the stag night. What is the name of the pub where Howard's friends are supposed to meet?

Answer: The White Horse

Ben is a very conscientious best man and has organised most things to every last detail. However there are two White Horse pubs in Richmond and Cassie has made sure that most people go to the wrong one.
9. Why isn't Ben, the best man, able to fulfill his duties on the wedding day?

Answer: He gets pushed into the river and nearly drowns.

After the stag night fiasco, Howard, Ben and Dom start walking to the 'other' White Horse. Cassie is poised on top of the bridge threatening to jump. Howard calls her bluff and she jumps! Howard goes in after her and in the confusion, Dom pushes Ben into the river, unfortunately Ben cannot swim, he nearly drowns and winds up in hospital.
10. In a last act of desperation to stop the wedding from going ahead, Howard's besotted colleague kidnaps Mel. Where does she take Mel to?

Answer: A quarry

Buckleberry Hill quarry is where Howard and Cassie had enjoyed their one night of passion, Cassie takes Mel there thinking no-one would guess where they were. Howard realises in the nick of time and Mel is rescued. They have missed the church slot so the service takes place in front of a burger van, with an onion ring as a symbol of marriage.
