Victoria Wood's 'dinnerladies' Quiz

Answer: HWD Components

The factory worked overnight on one occasion because another factory was unable to complete an order and HWD took it over. It was a bit difficult for Bren, as they had a temporary replacement for Tony at the time and she had alienated everybody just prior to the news that they would be working overnight, and Bren was on her own.

Answer: A bacon sandwich

Bren and Tony make chips during the Christmas party (which upsets Dolly who had 'not catered for chips, calorie-wise'), but for the Duke Bren made bacon butties; in return the Duke pretended to remember meeting Stan many years before when he visited his army camp 'with that rascal, Philip'.

Answer: Lighthouse keeper

Earlier in the episode ('nightshift') Jean misreads the advert as being a 'light housekeeper' - taking it to read a job of light duties. Bren told Nicola that she needed a job where she was totally alone so she could not upset anyone, but was not expecting to be left totally alone in the kitchen for an unexpected overnight shift.

Answer: Butternut

Twinkle told Bren that she would not bother painting it at all, that she would have the whole place condemned because it was 'manky, manky, manky!'. This episode ('catering') saw no actual catering take place because of the misunderstanding as to when the painting was going to be done.

Answer: Marbella

Tony wanted Bren to join the group, but she gave the money to her mother instead. It was a combination of Petula blowing up her caravan and Stan's upset over his father's death that caused her to change her mind about the money, but it did prove just how nice Bren was.

Answer: Her husband

They were alone in the canteen, checking out the Christmas tree lights when they kissed, and they came apart when they heard someone on the stairs. After Bren had switched the light back on, her husband came in and she introduced them.

Answer: Philippa

Philippa got into a real tizzy over the last-minute bits and pieces, and even screeched at Stan when he tried to tell her about the traffic situation. Of course, it didn't help matters much that Jean and Dolly were going off at tangents in the discussion!

Answer: Viagra

There followed a lovely speech from Dolly regarding the effects of this drug on a woman - "What will it do when it gets down there and finds nothing to pump up?". She also complained that she might start driving with one arm out of the open window, and having difficulties aiming at the toilet bowl.

Answer: Henry Kelly

Jean applied to the programme on Bren's behalf while she was on Prozac; even though Bren initially was not pleased about being invited on the show, she went along and did very well for the first round. She was unable to get to the studio in time for the next so she did not try for the big prize.

Answer: A bouncy castle

She said that children would be lining up their shoes and paying to jump all over her. The uniforms were bad, though, dungarees with big bold stripes.
