1. Who is Sherlock Holmes' landlady? Mrs Hudson - Pooh
2. Which novel by William Makepeace Thackeray did Stanley Kubrick make into a film? Barry Lyndon - Hamlet
3. What book did the McWhirter twins originate to settle arguments in English pubs? The Guinness Book of World Records - red
4. What John Bunyan story opens in the City of Destruction? Pilgrim's Progress - Pooh
5. Which literary character was tossed out of Eton and graduated from the University of Geneva? James Bond - Shayne

Excellent guess for No 5, Pooh, but not the right answer.

So that's 2 to Pooh and 1 each to Hamlet, Red and Shayne. Take it away, Pooh.
