Just questions 6 & 8 to be answered. I am enormously surpised that nobody has got one of them. No need for any clues for that one - and that's a big clue.

No.

I'm upping the points for either of these to 2 points for a correct answer.

Read my clues. Read the questions out loud.

Gyeertchaa!!! Well done D.

He walks past Kermit & Fozzy in their Studebaker, off on his way to "break into public television". Lovely gentle in-joke.

The magic store has closed its doors on this quiz, but I'm sure the Muppets will be back for a re-run - just keep believing.

When Kermit & Fozzy first meet Gonzo (Q7c) their car and his van collide - but nobody is hurt. Gonzo's plumbing van ends up on top of Fozzy's Studebaker though.

The running gag in the movie (Q6) is that if you're lost, you should try Hare Krishna.
