    It's hard to have a battle of wits when your opponent is unarmed.

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

    No, not Rene
    The artist was just a name.....he/she wasn't an actual character in the show.

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

    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....

    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?
