Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Although Jane had been in love with Harvey for a long time, he did not return her affection. He was actively trying to find a wife elsewhere, but romance was not foremost in his mind. What was Harvey's motivation?

Answer: He wanted to advance his social position.

Harvey was completely self-absorbed and contemptuous of Jane's love for him. More than anything, Harvey wanted to be accepted by the golf club set and he knew he would not achieve this through marriage to Jane. In a later episode, he became engaged to another woman and went to great lengths to fabricate a proper family history to impress his intended.
2. Diana, Tom and Jane were stunned to witness Harvey fall to the ground after being hit by an angry woman. The woman then drove away in her car. According to Jane, who was this woman?

Answer: A Lithuanian circus performer

Jane was convinced that she would make the best wife for Harvey even though he frequently humiliated her in public. Told by Tom that Harvey liked only beautiful women, she attempted a makeover appearing in the dining room frightfully dressed with garish make-up. Harvey told her she looked hideous.

However, he eventually came around because they got married in the final episode of the series.
3. What was Bournemouth Mon Amour?

Answer: A dating agency

Jane told Harvey that he could find a better woman than the one he had been dating. No doubt she had herself in mind. She recommended that he consult this dating agency to help him in his quest.
4. Marion Ballard, Geoffrey's wife left home. Geoffrey needed someone to take care of his children so that he could go to work. What was Geoffrey's occupation?

Answer: A cheese salesman

Marion was an alcoholic, promiscuous and mentally unstable. She and Geoffrey had a turbulent relationship yet Geoffrey seemed to love her. In order to win her approval, in one episode he changed his entire persona to become a macho member of Hell's Angels called "Fat Boy Higgins."
5. Tom was visited by an angry Geoffrey who accused him of having ruined his life. How does Geoffrey justify this accusation?

Answer: Tom had introduced Marion to the vicar.

Despite the fact that Marion hated both Tom and Diana and they, in turn, disapproved of her scandalous lifestyle, they were concerned for her welfare. For instance, Tom was successful in securing a beauty salon franchise for Marion at no cost to her, thus enabling her to use her talents in a business of her own.
6. Geoffrey demanded that Tom look after his children, Skye and Tarquin, in Marion's absence. The children were badly behaved and, reluctantly, Tom agreed to do so. Which of the following did the children NOT do on the day Tom took care of them?

Answer: Ask people to give them money

Skye and Tarquin were spoiled and had no respect for their elders. Although he tried to hide it from her, Diana was able to see that Tom was hurt and disappointed by the children's rudeness.
7. Harvey asked Tom to do him the favor of going to an outdoor restaurant to see the date he had arranged to meet. Tom was to let the woman know that Harvey would not be coming. How would Tom be able to identify the woman?

Answer: She would be wearing a white carnation.

Tom saw Jane seated at a table, but he did not know that she was the person he was supposed to meet. Indiscreetly, Tom told Jane that Harvey was not the man for her and that he had made some uncomplimentary remarks about her. At that point, Harvey drove up in a car with another woman.

When this woman heard how Harvey had treated Jane, she no longer wanted to be with him and pushed him out of the car.
8. When Diana heard of Tom's experience with the children, she offered to take over the chore of looking after them. They insulted her, but she was determined to rein them in. What did Diana do to gain control of Skye and Tarquin?

Answer: She handcuffed them together.

Diana tried to shock the children into mending their ways. She insisted that they call her "Miss Trent" and told them that she was the wicked witch of their worst nightmares. She demanded that they show respect for their grandfather and reminded them of how much they could learn from older people.
9. Tom sometimes escaped into a fantasy world, imagining himself to be at places other than at Bayview. What imaginary trip did Tom take in this episode?

Answer: He went big game fishing with Ernest Hemmingway in Kenya.

Tom seemed to use his fantasies to avoid conflicts and troublesome people. He removed himself to "another plane" when he did not want to see unwelcome visitors, for example. His disengagement served his purposes as he was often able to get the better of people who took him for a fool. For instance, he foiled all of Harvey's many attempts to have Diana removed from Bayview.
10. How do we know that Diana failed in her effort to bring about lasting change in the children's behaviour?

Answer: They handcuffed her with her own handcuffs.

On his return, Geoffrey had to release Diana from the handcuffs. Skye and Tarquin pretended that they wanted them as souvenirs when all along their intention was to use them against her. These children were incorrigible. Their parents were not good role models; had never set limits or imposed consequences for their bad behaviour.

As stern as Diana was with them, their transformation could not be accomplished in one day.
