Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What does Saffron shout to Eddy once her alarm is finally shut off?

Answer: "Thank you!"

Her alarm is blasting bad late 80s/early 90s techno.

2. How long has Eddy's car been waiting outside when Eddy wakes up?

Answer: One hour

She gets rid of it (temporarily) in a future episode, and downsizes to an even more expensive sports car.

3. What does Eddy say to Saffron to explain the heaps of empty booze bottles?

Answer: "Boy, old Pats can put it away!"

Eddy has told Saffy that she's quit drinking...

4. "I'm chanting as we speak, ____________."

Answer: "Bye-bye darling."

I have the sound clip on my computer at work. Whenever I get an e-mail, we all hear "I'm chanting as we speak, bye-bye darling." Eddy often refers to the fact that she is a Buddhist, and will start chanting spontaneously.

5. What is "not to be sniffed at", according to Eddy?

Answer: Colonic irrigation

I've tried it actually. It's nice. Eddy demands if Saffy would like to have "some boring old toilet-goer" as a mother, when Saffy tells her to go to the toilet.

6. "Well, it IS nearly lunchtime!" This is Patsy trying to get Eddy to go for lunch. What time is it really?

Answer: 10:30 AM

For the rest of the series, Patsy always says she hasn't eaten anything since the 70s. This is the only time I can think of (and later in the episode) that she actively wants to eat.

7. What was Eddy going to tell Joan Collins to get her to come to the fashion show?

Answer: There will be free champagne

Joan appeared as The Siren in the old 1960s "Batman" TV show. She did not, however, appear in any episodes of "Absolutely Fabulous".

8. There is a beverage on Eddy's desk as she is frantically trying to plan the fashion show that she is trying very hard not to drink. What is it?

Answer: Red wine

Later in the episode, she is drinking whiskey with Patsy. I think that is one of the few times she doesn't drink wine, gin, or champagne.

9. What does Eddy sarcastically tell Saffron that she has to do instead of coming to the fashion show?

Answer: See a new exhibit of test tubes at the science museum

Sometimes I tell people I am off to see a new exhibit of test tubes at the science museum. This is the first reference we have to what Saffy is studying at University, namely biology.

10. What does the whole fashion show have to be choreographed to?

Answer: Rap and avant-garde Japanese pipe music

I also love Saffy's line about how the Gulf War was done with less fuss, and how no one has a nervous breakdown and needed to be sent flowers. Elton John appears in Season 5, in that same season Eddy ruins an un-released Beatles recording.
