"Questions and Answers" is a song by Scottish rock band Biffy Clyro, and was the second single to be released from their 2003 album, The Vertigo of Bliss; It was their first single to enter the top 40 of the UK Singles Chart, reaching a peak of number 26. It was also their first top-ten single in their home country, reaching number nine on the Scottish Singles Chart. The music video, directed by Bradley Beesley and Dan Brown, was recorded with Simon Neil in a wheelchair after he broke his foot the night before the video shoot at a gig by jumping off the PA system. Brown said of the making of the video: "Brad and I flew to London in March of 2003 to shoot a video for Biffy Clyro (then signed to Beggars Banquet). We had very little money so we shot the video on DV, transferred the video to 35mm film and had a friend scratch animation on the films negative. He also painted frames with sharpies to give it a retro/psychedelic feel. I brought my small sony handycam and shot home movies during the shoot. This was the first of three videos we made for Simon, James and Ben. Who were, without a doubt, the absolute best to work with."[1]
