Hi @Mi-Amigo 

Thank you for the results. I nearly put John Lennon but only guessing. Interesting about the castle, thought I hadn't seen on travels. Little ears makes sense!  Michael Palin and John Cleese only two I can remember like @Comben 😁  just a choice of names for me.

Know nothing about Wicker Man. 

Pug dog with Rupert never heard of him.

I chose Hamburg because thinking it has most bridges in Europe  (I think) 🙃

2 stars 🌟 🤩  good 

Well done all 

[TallTrees]

Great @pgn 😊

I am going to send a funny Friday 

in a mo too

[MI5]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done all.

[Cleoriff]

@TallTrees 

You weren't far out with Ringo Starr. Same group after all. 😉

Thanks for a great quiz @Mi-Amigo. Looking forward to regulars choice next week 😍

[gmarkj]

Shocked with that - couple of guesses came good!

Well done everyone, and thanks for some proper puzzlers @Mi-Amigo 

[Comben]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo for the answers. I had a feeling I wouldn't do very well this time but enjoyed it nevertheless and hopefully I will do better next week.

Some strong scores in there for a lot of people so well done, also thanks @TallTrees for understanding how I landed on John Cleese as my guess! 😅 I also guessed Little Ears and was surprised to see it marked right, clearly Enid Blyton has no creativity in the naming department. 😂

Thank you @TallTrees @MI5 @Cleoriff @gmarkj @Comben 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards
