Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the name of Shirley's husband?

Answer: Joe

Joe is Shirley's husband. Joe is a very serious man who hates not getting his own way. Brian is her son, Costas is a man she gets very close to in Greece and I just put Paul in there.
2. Who is Shirley having dinner with when she says this quote? "It's a good job we're not having soup, or else I'd put me head in it and drown meself."

Answer: Jeanette and Dougie

'Jeanette and Dougie from Manchester' to be precise - save her from eating dinner alone in the restaurant, after her best friend Jane abandons her for a man she met on the flight to Greece.
3. Who does Shirley's friend Jane's husband run off with?

Answer: The milkman

Jane is played by Alison Steadman. She is a feminist who is very bitter about men since her husband ran off with the milkman. "But from that day forward I've noticed she never takes milk in her tea."
4. Who asks Shirley to look after their dog while they are in Brussels?

Answer: Gillian

Gillian feeds her dog, Claymore, muesli because they don't keep meat in the house. Gillian tells Shirley that she and her husband are vegans and Shirley tells her that she thought they were Church of England!
"I'm not sayin' she's a bragger, but if you've been to Paradise, she's got a season ticket. She's that type, Gillian, you know. If you've got a headache, she's got a brain tumor."
5. Who are Brian and Millandra?

Answer: Shirley's and Joe's children

Brian is an aspiring poet. Shirley does not think this is a valid career path but finds it funny all the same. Millandra gets exasperated with Shirley when she and Sharron-Louise (Millandra's flatmate) take Shirley to a wine bar and Shirley says that she would like a rum and coke.
6. Millandra approves of Shirley and Jane going to Greece.

Answer: False

"Greece, at your age, you and that Jane? It's obscene!" Millandra thinks that Shirley is going to Greece for a 'Grab-A-Granny fortnight'. Millandra is very against Shirley and Jane going to Greece together, especially since Joe doesn't know about it.
7. How does Shirley tell Joe she has gone to Greece?

Answer: She leaves him a Post-It note saying 'Gone to Greece, back in two weeks.

When Shirley initially tells Joe that she wants to go to Greece, he thinks that she means they will go together. He says he doesn't want to go to Greece, so she goes without him. He comes home to an empty house and no dinner on the table. Needless to say he is not happy.
8. Who does Shirley compare herself to when Millandra comes home after a fallout with Sharron-Louise?

Answer: R2-D2

Millandra comes home, declaring Sharron-Louise a 'mare'. She then asks Shirley to make her cocoa and toast like she used to, and just generally treats Shirley like a skivvy, leaving her bags outside for Shirley to bring in and asking her to bring the television up from downstairs.
"What am I doing Wall? She's only been home for five minutes and already she's got me strutting around like R-2-bleedin'-D-2!"
9. What is the eleventh commandment, according to Shirley?

Answer: Thou shalt give thy fella steak every Thursday.

Shirley knows that Joe will be angry that he is not getting his Thursday steak because she gave it to Gillian's dog.
"Thou shalt give thy fella steak every Thursday. And if thou doesn't, thy fella will have one big gob on him, all night long."
10. Who does Shirley tell Gillian she is going to Greece with?

Answer: Her lover

She says this when Gillian spots her in a lingerie shop buying racy underwear.
Gillian: "They'd be nice on your Millandra."
Shirley: "Oh, I'm not buying these for Millandra, I'm buying these for myself. But I shall not be wearing them for myself I shall be wearing them for my lover. We're going to Greece you see."
Gillian is even more shocked when Shirley asks what counter the suspender belts are on.
