I didn't watch much of Allo Allo so the only character I can think of is Rene

TheGoodGuy
20th August 2005, 00:50
Glos
No, not Rene
The artist was just a name.....he/she wasn't an actual character in the show.

Ada.

Sounds like a Picasso painting then. Or perhaps someone French....Renoir or Gaugin.

TheGoodGuy
20th August 2005, 00:55
Glos

No....
It is a totally fictitious name......if you didn't watch the show I don't think it is an answer that you could even guess. Google it....

11, Hi Ada..was it Van Klump? or Klumpf?
Don't know the TV name of the retirement home but have passed it on the way to Witney...real name Oakenholt Nursing home...not much use tho eh? :D

Ruby

12, was that Windsor Davies and Donald Sinden?

TheGoodGuy
20th August 2005, 22:32
Hi Roobs...
Good holiday?

11. Yeah ..close enough.. Van Clomp...well done.

12. Donald Sinden correct, but not Windsor Davies (he (Windsor) used to be my neighbour, by the way).
The other actor's name I'm looking for is an American woman.

12. That would be Elaine Stritch then. The program Ruby's thinking of is Never The Twain.

As for the rest:
2. Isn't it a double-barrelled name. Forsythe-Johnson or something like that.
3. I keep thinking of Bungle and Zippy :D
7. Did he do the music for a Boyzone record? If not, then how about Madonna's version of Evita?
