40 free Harry Enfield trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Harry Enfield has been filling British television with grotesques since the 1980s. Wayne and Waynetta Slob, Kevin the Teenager, Loadsamoney, Tim Nice-But-Dim, the Scousers and a pair of ageing disc jockeys all came out of his sketch shows, and several of them slipped into everyday speech. This quiz covers the characters and the stories behind them: who played whom, where the ideas came from, the hit single, the feature film, and the real people who found themselves compared to an Enfield creation. It also follows his career beyond sketch comedy, from sitcom and drama parts to adverts and a spoof documentary. It is written for anyone who grew up with Harry Enfield's Television Programme and Harry Enfield & Chums, and for newer fans who know him from his later acting roles. Every answer comes with a short explanation, so you pick up the backstory as you play.
