Fearful Symmetry - S2-E18

Trivia: Ganesha the elephant was played by an elephant named Bubbles. The producers thought it would be difficult to convince an elephant to hurry toward a truck for the opening scene. Bubbles actually enjoyed making the scene and wanted to keep running around the truck.

Trust No 1 - S9-E6

Question: After blowing up the car, when the NSA guy answers Scully's question, "How the hell do you know my size?" he says, "I know the name of your college boyfriend, your true hair colour, your ATM PIN number." This strongly suggests that red is not her true colour. Therefore, my question is: What is the true colour of Scully's hair?

Answer: Actress Gillian Anderson's natural hair color is strawberry blonde, which she dyed fiery red. (Although in the revival of the show she wears a wig).

The question does not concern Gillian Anderson's true hair colour-it concerns Agent Dana Scully's true hair colour.
