QUESTION 1
Why did Thom Yorke suffer a particularly traumatic Christmas in 1996?
“1996? That would have been at the end of ‘The Bends’. Er... I didn't send him a Christmas card?"
Wrong. His garden pond froze, killing all his fish
“Yes. Which became the lyrics to a song called ‘Lift’, which we played live when we were arranging the material that became ‘OK Computer’, but has never seen the recorded light of day."

QUESTION 2
Radiohead met at school in Oxford. What was the name of your old music teacher, and  which now-famous comedian was a few years below you?

“None too hirsute?”
Half a point. “The bald one”

QUESTION 4
Why did Ed O’Brien once ask Madonna to switch seats at a Radiohead gig?

Correct

QUESTION 5
Which character sings The Boney King of Nowhere – the alternative title of “There There” from “Hail to the Thief” – in ‘70s kids show Bagpuss?
“Oh, that's cruel!"

QUESTION 7
What used to happen if you dialled the number 1426148550 from the front of the Airbag/How Am I Driving?' EP?
“It went through to a message. I can't remember what it said but I’m sure it was informative and not all at useless."
Correct. You went through to a recorded message from Thom.

QUESTION 8
Why is the binary number 1010101010 interesting to Radiohead conspiracy theorists?
“That sounds like a line from Futurama."
Wrong. Wasn't the working title to ‘OK Computer“ ‘Zeros And Ones'?
“Oh, yes."
The conspiracy theory [known as the Binary Theory — Conspiracy Ed] is that ‘OK Computer' and ‘In Rainbows' link up and fit together if you alternate their tracks, as part of an overarching masterplan. Err, any truth?
“I’m sure that there must be. No smoke without fire."
So you’re neither denying nor confirming this then, Phil? Intriguing
“I feel like the custodian of Radiohead secrets here."

QUESTION 9
Why is that man lying on the pavement in the video to 'Just'? (The subtitles disappear right at the moment when he explains his reasons.)

QUESTION 10
What was the average amount people paid for the ‘pay what you want’ download of ‘In Rainbows '?
“Erm... was it a goodly sum?"
Wrong £2.90
“That's very generous."
