I defo have 1,2,3 and 4, if my explanation for the Abo saying and educated Hopkins films are correct. I thought a couple of the last meal ones might have been right. Unless the guesses i made where placed with the wrong clues. I have never heard of Tralfamadorians, guessing its sci fi, thats why I went for, weel you know whi I went for, Bill.

I shall come clean to all Bill,

 

Question 1, I knew a,b,c and f. A guy in work who is shit hot on the 70's music scene told me the other two and knew the link straight away.

 

Question 2, I have heard in pub quizzes before.

 

Question 3, I have heard the expression i.e three dog night. Having Oz connections, who are home at the moment in UK clarified it for me.

 

Question 4, I knew a, b and d straight off and worked the other two out fom the names of the characters.

 

Question 5, had me stumped. I could only think of three films that had last meal scenes and none of them where actually in your answers. I think I had Green Mile, Angels with Dirty Faces and something else I can't even remember that now.

 

Question 6, i never had a scooby, thought it would be sci fi and guesed Dean Koontz.

 

Like I said in an earlier post, no point googling, you only cheat yourself ;)
