Take the UK citizenship test

There are 24 questions, 18 correct answers are required to pass. I got 22 out of 24 correct. Does this mean I can immigrate to the UK?

But I was a little taken aback at the "which two" questions which only allowed me to select one.

As far as I'm concerned, a word perfect reciting of the dead parrot sketch ought to be the one and only requirement for entry into the UK.

You forgot the "what have the Romans ever done for us?" bit.

Maybe the four Yorkshiremen sketch as well.
