Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which character did David Jason play in the show "Open All Hours"?

Answer: Granville

"Open All Hours" ran from 1973 to 1985 on the BBC. Arkwright, played by Ronnie Barker, was a tight-fisted shop owner in Doncaster, who would stop at nothing to keep his profits high and his overheads low, even if it meant harassing his nephew Granville. Arkwright's only weakness was his love - Nurse Gladys Emanuel, played by Linda Baron.
2. Who played Father Dougal McGuire on the show "Father Ted"?

Answer: Ardal O'Hanlon

On the BBC from 1995 to 1998, the title character Father Ted Crilly, played by the late Dermot Morgan, had so much to contend with when it comes to dealing with the folks of Craggy Island, Ireland. There was Father Dougal McGuire, who was as dimwitted as they come; and then there was Father Jack Hackett, played by Frank Kelly, who lives for the simple pleasures of life - namely sleeping, drinking, and swearing.
3. Kelsey Grammer is the voice of Sideshow Bob on "The Simpsons".

Answer: True

He was assisted by the super-capable Margaret Wyborn, played by Hattie Winston, and the less-than-capable Linda, played by Shawnee Smith, who was only kept on because no one else could stand the doctor.
