Fun: Can You Name....?

[mothhawk]

For no particular reason I was trying to remember the names of the Banks children in Mary Poppins, and could remember the boy but not the girl, so I had to look it up. That got me thinking, how many characters can I remember the names of?

So, JFF, see if you can name these without looking any up;

1. the Banks children
2. the seven brothers who wanted seven brides
3. the seven dwarfs
4. the swallows
5. the amazons
6. the seven Von Trapp children
7. the seven Walton children

Seven seems to be a popular number in fictional families, and if you add the swallows and amazons, you get seven again.

I don't know any of them. Might remember the 7 dwarfs with a struggle, but I don't think I've ever known the rest. Never read or watched them.

1. the Banks children YEP
2. the seven brothers who wanted seven BRIDES NOPE
3. the seven Dwarfs YEP
4. the swallows NOT A CLUE
5. the amazons DITTO
6. the seven Von Trapp children HALF SO FAR
7. the seven Walton Children Half again

8 9 and 10 have got me thinking.

How about

11. The wombles
12 trumpton firemen.

The Banana Splits characters?

8. Children from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - yes - because they are also "Beatrix Potter names"
9. The Famous Five - oh, yes, my favourite books as a child
10. Children in Bed knobs and Broomsticks - one out of three
11. The wombles - seven again, I can only get six...
12 Trumpton Firemen - easy peasy
13 Banana Splits - who?

[Jimny14]

12 Trumpton Firemen - easy peasy

Thought these might be a bit either easy or not a clue depending on people's age.

Sorry Lumpy, but you're wrong (or hard of hearing, like me )

Captain Flack's firemen are Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, and Grubb.

Pugh and Pugh are twins you see
