Not toooo bad @Mi-Amigo 

Well done everyone 

Never saw 👀 the hobbit thingy. 

Jane Austin racked brains Couldn't think which book. 

I have seen The Italian Job several times on TV quite liked that :   loved the minis, good 👍 

I also like the dry humour delivered by Michael  Caine.  

Good quiz probably should have done better.
