Seeing as the Friends one is so popular - and I’m pretty sure we have quite a few fans on here:

What was the name of the children’s TV show Daphne appeared in as a girl?

It is indeed Rebecca.

Fanny - I know it’s not the same as rewatching in order, but Channel 4 shows two episodes a day as part of their morning line-up - you could put it on series record now and build up a bank of episodes before your op?

You can buy all 11 series on DVD on Amazon for around £60 which would work out a lot cheaper than downloading them all.

@SerenDippitty wasn't it that she had to transfer her iguana eggs from one lab to another as the incubator had broken? "Let's hope you didn't take them all in one basket"!!! smile

At Niles's fancy dress party, Gil came dressed as the Last of the Mohicans - after a faux pas, what did he suggest his name should be?

Fumbles with crab puffs?

In one episode Frasier and Niles have their table taken by another customer at cafe Nervosa and Frasier bundles the man out of the door declaring he needs "an etiquette lesson".

During the episode Frasier feels guilty for his loutish behaviour and arranges to meet the man to apologise. When Frasier meets this man the man tells him he is going to sue Frasier.

Niles, in an uncharacteristic show of assertiveness, intervenes - but what does he do to stop this man suing??

MorningsEleven · 21/01/2019 16:55

Tooo hard.

I have a theory that you could go to a hotel anywhere in the world and find a cable channel showing Frasier. It's total comfort TV.

Calls him (the suer) chicken and goads him into raising his hand to him - where he (Miles) dramatically falls backwards and over a table, years of pain in his eyes (‘counter sue!). The tears were real as he landed on a fork.

Is it that the parents have huge noses and the father of Alice had is nose done. She's terrified that Alice will inherit a massive nose.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 21/01/2019 18:06

Didn’t she also have huge ears and thick glasses as a child?

"It's as if you'd forgotten that not three days ago I was... punched in the face...by a man now dead"

Who punched Frasier?
(Scenario will do as I can't remember the name myself Wink )

Maris’ Argentinian polo player boyfriend!

Combineharvester · 22/01/2019 13:05

...and how did he die?

flowery · 22/01/2019 13:11

Maris shot him with an antique cross bow

Two of the stars of Desperate Housewives played love interests of Frasier. Which two, and who did they play?

Teri Hatcher was Duke's daughter Marie. Don't know who else was in Desperate Housewives though - didn't watch it.

Glamdring · 22/01/2019 13:57

One was Terri Hatcher as Marie, Dukes daughter. I don't watch desperate housewives so I've no idea on the other

What happens to Daphne when Lilith enters the building?

MorningsEleven · 22/01/2019 14:19

Does she get a migraine?

Buddyelf · 22/01/2019 14:22

Two of the stars of Desperate Housewives played love interests of Frasier. Which two, and who did they play?

the other one was Felicity Huffman but I can't remember the name of her character, she was on the radio with him and she was awful wasn't she?

Combineharvester · 22/01/2019 14:28

Oh yes she played Julia, who had some sort of financial programme on KACL.
She then had a fling with a married man, another cameo, who played him and what was his character name?

flowery · 22/01/2019 14:50

Avery McManus played by John Hannah

MorningsEleven · 22/01/2019 15:03

Why do Daphne's family have such terrible accents? I love Frasier but those mismatched accents are crazy.

FlirtyRomanticToast · 22/01/2019 16:07

@LordProfFekko

Ah, I thought Niles said 'countersuit'.

Could any fellow Frasier fans help me with a query? At least four times in the show a character says "why'd ya do it?" and it gets a big audience laugh. It feels like a reference to something but I've no idea what.

Martin says it to Niles in The New Friend after finding out that Niles put Eddie in a boarding kennel,

Martin again, to Frasier this time, when it's revealed his elder son threw his dancing Santa toy off the balcony in We Two Kings,

Noel Shemsky says it to Frasier in Star Mitzvah when Frasier admits he failed to secure Scott Bakulas autograph

and Roz says it to John Glenn in Docu.Drama.

Can anyone shed some light on this or am I overthinking? 🤔

CoughLaughFart · 22/01/2019 18:11

I’ve always wondered that too!
