Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is Jasper Carrott's real name?

Answer: Robert Davis

Jasper/Robert was born in the Acocks Green area of Birmingham on 14 March 1945. He went to school at Moseley Grammar School, where he became friends with Bev Bevan who went on to play the drums in ELO.
2. Jasper has been a lifelong fan of Birmingham City and once managed to sneak into the team's official photograph.

Answer: True

In one of Jasper's monologues, he commented that he was so disappointed with the way Birmingham started a season that he went to the ground and nailed his season ticket to a door. Having got home, he changed his mind and went to retrieve it only to find that somebody had stolen the nail! (Jasper told it better).
3. When Channel 4 listed their 100 greatest stand-up comedians in 2007, where was Jasper Carrott placed?

Answer: 20th

Billy Connolly was number 1, Peter Kay number 2 and Eddie Izzard number 3. I still think that Jasper should have at least made the top 10.
4. What was the name of Jasper's UK singles chart entry?

Answer: Funky Moped

In 1975, "Funky Moped" and "Magic Roundabout" reached number 5 in the UK singles charts as a double A sided single. (Rod Stewart was number 1 with "Sailing"). Jasper even appeared on "Top of the Pops"!
5. Robert Powell went from playing Jesus in Franco Zeffirelli's "Jesus of Nazareth" to Detective Constable Briggs alongside Jasper Carrott in "The Detectives". In which Jasper Carrott show did "The Detectives" first appear?

Answer: Canned Carrott

Jasper Carrott first appeared on UK television in 1978. What started off as a five minute sketch in "Canned Carrott", "The Detectives" was made into a 30 minute situation comedy and five series were made.
6. Jasper Carrott received an OBE for his contribution to what?

Answer: Charity

As well as local charities around Birmingham, Jasper supports the work of the NSPCC and the Variety Club of Great Britain. The OBE was awarded by the Queen in 2003.
7. At one time, Jasper Carrott owned part of Celador, the production company behind "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire"?

Answer: True

Celador was founded in 1983 and "Millionaire" has been sold to over 70 countries. The production company name comes from "Cellar Door". Jasper sold his interest in the company when Celador International was bought by 2waytraffic in 2006.
8. Finish the name of the monologue: "The Nutter on the ____."

Answer: Bus

According to Jasper, the rest of the bus will relax once the nutter has sat next to you announcing "Has anyone seen my camel?" or "I've got an atom bomb here!" whilst brandishing a corned beef tin.
9. What did Jasper NOT use to try and get rid of the mole in his garden?

Answer: A pitchfork

Don't go mole hunting using a twelve-bore shotgun if you have never used one before. You're likely to attract the attention of local law enforcement. You won't get rid of the mole either!
10. Jasper has hosted an event around Christmas since 2005 - "____ with laughter". What word completes this title?

Answer: Rock

Who said variety was dead? Hosted by Jasper, a great evening of music and comedy raising money for charity has been held each year at Birmingham's NEC Arena.
