And keep on supporting MEN BEHAVING BADLY! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2.0] What is Men Behaving Badly ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Men behaving Badly (or MBB as it is referred to most of the time) is a sitcom (situation comedy) about 2 flatmates Tony and Gary and Gary's girlfriend - Dorothy and the girl who lives upstairs - Deborah, who Tony is deeply and madly in love with. They get up to all sorts of things, you imagine it - they do it! As well as going down the pub, getting drunk, chatting about totty and playing Gary's home made board game 'Whats that smell?' Gary and Tony are the best of mates! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [3.0] Who are the actors/actress's ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Now Regular cast* Martin Clunes - plays - Gary Strang Neil Morrissey - plays - Tony Smart Caroline Quentin - plays - Dorothy (Gary's girlfriend) Leslie Ash - plays - Deborah (The girl who lives upstairs) Ian Lindsay - plays - George (Gary's office assistant) Valeri Minifie - plays - Anthea (Gary's secratary) *Sub-regular cast* John Thomson - plays - Ken (The NEW barman - series 5 to 6) Dave Atkins - plays - Les (The OLD barman - series 1 to 4) Richard Strange - plays - Neville (Tony's mate) *Original Cast* Martin Clunes - plays - Gary Strang Harry Enfield - plays - Dermot Caroline Quentin - plays - Dorothy (Gary's girlfriend) Leslie Ash - plays - Deborah (The girl who lives upstairs) Ian Lindsay - plays - George (Gary's office assistant) Valeri Minifie - plays - Anthea (Gary's secratary) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -[3.1] Who played Clive in series 6 episode 2 ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Great question - who played Clive? (the guy who turned up to Gary & Dorothy's wedding in a bright GREEN suit!) Well, did you notice that at the end of that episode the character and the actor playing 'Clive' were NOT shown in the credits!! Well, I found out (by writing to the BBC) that Clive was actually played by 'Simon Nye'. BUT... Thats not the only Episode he has appeared in! If you look closely at Series 2 Episode 1 when Gary is interviewing people to move in as a flatmate, Simon Nye plays the 'Catatonic Man', The guy Gary says "Just knod if you can hear me." to! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [3.2] Who works on the set for Men Behaving Badly ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Set crew for Series 6: Line Producer : Julian Meers Production Designer : Kenneth Sharp Music Composed By : Alan Lisk Production Manager : Debbie Vertue Script Editor : Elaine Cameron Casting Director : Michelle Guish Lighting Director : Keith Reed Sound Supervisor : Paul Gartrell Camera Supervisor : Chas Watts Editor : Mykola Pawluk Vision Mixer : Peter Phillips Floor Manager : Tristram Shapeero Stage Manager : Mary Motture Production Assistant : Angela Morgan Production Secretary : Nicola Mairs Costume Designer : Christopher Marlowe Make-Up Designer : Nicola Bellamy Art Director : Steve groves Location Manager : Richard Clarke Production Buyer : Sarah Prebble Properties : Andy Armstrong Gaffer : Mike Tanner Prodction Accountant : Pauline Granby Vision Control : Richard Waiting ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [4.0] When was Men Behaving Badly first aired ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Men Behaving Badly (series 1 & 2) were first aired on ITV in the UK then MBB was bought by the BBC.

Unfortunately I dont have much information about him, so I cant supply any info. Sorry. But.. I do know that a new series called 'The Last Salute' is being shown on BBC-1 and was written by Simon Nye ! It's about the two rival automobil clubs the 'AA' and the RAC'. Set during the 1940's, its a great comedy!! (although not as good as Men Behaving Badly!!) There has reciently (mid 1999) been a second series of 'The Last Salute' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [6.0] How many Series/Episodes of Men Behaving Badly are there ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- So far there have been 'SIX' Series of Men Behaving Badly, '38' Episodes of Men Behaving Badly altogether (excluding specials), '1' Christmas '97 Special 'Christmas at Home' (45 Minutes, 25th December 1997) '2' Special Comic Releif episodes titled 'Men Behaving VERY Badly' (15 Minutes, 12 March 1997) 'The Naughty Boys' (10 Minutes, November 1998) '3' Part Christmas '98 Trilogy (recently called 'Last Orders') (Part 1, Performance : 45 Minutes, 25th December 1998) (Part 2, Gary in Love: 40 Minutes, 26th December 1998) (Part 3, Delivery : 45 Minutes, 28th December 1998) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [7.0] Who played Dermot in series one and where did he go ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can find this out by looking back to section [3.0]. But if you cant be bothered :- The dull character 'Dermot' was played by the great comedian/actor 'Harry Enfield'. Dermot appeared only in series one, and was replaced in series 2 by Neil Morrissey - as Tony Smart! Oh, by the way, Dermot ended up in Rimany (where's that?) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [8.0] Is there an Official Men Behaving Badly web site ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, take a look at: http://www.menbehavingbadly.com And make SURE that you have either Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.x (Version 4 now available at http://www.microsoft.com) or Netscape Navigator 3.x (Version 4 now available at http://www.netscape.com) The BBC used to have a page on MBB called: 'The Comedy Zone - Men Behaving Badly' There used to be a special page called QTVR where you could explore Gary & Tony's flat in true panoramic 3D. Unfortunately, the BBC have removed the MBB Comedy Zone pages, and the QTVR MBB flat went with it! BUT - you can now find the QTVR page (or Virtual Studio as it is now called) at the MBB-TU page at http://www.mbb-tu.co.uk (if that link doesnt work for you, look near the top of the page for the other MBB server's - they all have the QTVR program. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [9.0] Is there an Official Men Behaving Badly fan club ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- A question I get asked quite a lot!! The answer is I dont know, but if I find out any more info about a MBB Fan Club I'll include it in a later revision of this FAQ. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [10.0] What is Deborah's surname ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yeah, what the hell is Deborah's surname ? I have never EVER heard anybody say her surname - even Deborah herself! I'm gonna write to the BBC about this issue!! I'm sure that there are many people who would like to know what her surname is! Is it really that terrible that she NEVER says it? Or is it that she remain's nameless in the surname department! We simply dont know! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [11.0] What is Dorothy's surname ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, well, after months of head scratching and after endless searches for her surname, we finally found it (we think!) her surname we think is 'Bishop' - Dorothy Bishop. Sue Michaels found this out while watching the Xmas '98 Trilogy, episode 1: Performance - where Deb's ends up in hospital, and Dorothy has her name tag on, look closely you may be able to see the name 'Bishop' - dont strain your eyes though, as TV screens dont have a very high resolution, so DONT damage your eyes trying to see what it says! Thanks Sue! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [12.0] Where can I download the scripts for Men Behaving Badly ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, actually - you can download them from the MBB-TU site (http://www.mbb-tu.co.uk) (or look at one of the other servers at the top of this page) You will find the Complete Scripts for: Series 2 (Transcribed by Katherine Buckland) and Series 6 (Transcribed by Sue Michaels) and some scripts from Series 5 (by me Stuart).
