Thanks for the gentle reminder @Mi-Amigo. To be honest I've tried to come up with some guesses but wasn't able to do so for even half of the questions. Going to check if @Breanna wants to do a joint effort, otherwise I will refrain for partaking in this time around.

Bah. Those Clangers!

Knew Ms Kidman was an Aussie, but didn't realise that she was born in Hawaii, and no clue about the badminton one, so pleased with my Red.

Well done to all and thanks for some great head scratchers Quizmaster!
