Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In episode 1, what schoolyard role does Tim liken Gareth's position as "Team Leader" to?

Answer: Milk Monitor

Tim and Gareth are arguing over who has the "superior" position - Tim as Senior Sales Rep or Gareth as Team Leader. Tim points out that while he has been given a pay rise and greater responsibility, Gareth's job is just a title to get him to do extra work for free, similiar to the Milk Monitor's job at school.

It turns out that Gareth was, indeed, Milk Monitor when he was at school (if people were rude to him he would give them their milk last so it was warm).

2. What is Gareth doing the first time we see him and Tim at the beginning of episode 2?

Answer: Using a wrist exerciser

After a very amusing dialogue between the pair, Gareth explains to a somewhat bewildered Tim that he is building up his wrists for orienteering.

3. What does Keith do quite prominently during his appraisal with David?

Answer: Chew gum

Poor Keith doesn't seem to understand the whole appraisal process, at least as David would like him to. For his "Strengths", he lists "Accounts" (which is his job) and for "Weaknesses" he writes "Eczema".

4. In episode 3, who does David say has influenced him the most in his way of thinking?

Answer: Ian Botham

David is discussing how he is "unorthodox" and doesn't play by the rules. "Live fast, die old," is his motto.

5. When having a casual discussion with Oliver and Glynn, how old does David say "most people" think he looks?

Answer: 30

David is very defensive about his age, always trying to appear younger and more "cool". He is quite offended when Glynn tells him he thinks he is about 40; Oliver gives him a "more honest" answer (after Glynn has been berated), saying David looks "between 30 and 40".

6. What slogan does David have printed on cards after Ray and Jude hire him for "motivational speeches".

Answer: "If It's In You, I'll Find It"

David goes in and finds what you already have in you. The reason he has put "If It's In You" is so that if he puts time and money into you and he discovers you don't have it, he won't be sued.

7. What type of job does the girl that was in Dawn's class now have?

Answer: Runs an Internet Auction Website

Dawn is reflecting on how her life hasn't turned out exactly as he had planned, and points out how her former classmate is now making a fortune and is happily married to a marine biologist. The girl "used to eat chalk".

8. In episode 5, after Neil and Rachel dance, David mentions that he dances himself. What does he say his style is a mixture of?

Answer: Flashdance and MC Hammer

Visibly irked by the attention and praise Neil receives for his fundraising performance, David attempts to outdo him by boasting of his own dancing feats. Spurred on by Rachel, David launches into an impromptu series of bizarre "dance" moves that stun and disturb the watching staff.

9. Also in episode 5, what does David call the game show he has "devised"?

Answer: Upstairs Downstairs

David was supposed to write a report for Neil. Instead of this, Neil comes in to find David has been writing a synopsis for a new game show "devised and hosted by David Brent". It is apparently a cross between "Telly Addicts" and "Noel's House Party", and the contestants run upstairs to get clues. Neil is not impressed.

10. What is the name of the reporter from "Inside Paper" who comes to interview David?

Answer: Helena

David is predictably boastful about being the "subject matter" of a news article, announcing it to the whole office. He refuses to give any straight answers and frustrates Helena by continually trying to write the story for her.
