Stupidly hard work quiz (help!)

If anyone remembers previous years my work sets a stupidly hard quiz for us to have a go at every Christmas. This year's is no different....

I've managed to complete the first 8 puzzles myself but now I'm stuck Xmas Sad Very frustrating as I've got the gist of the puzzles but can't figure out what the answer is!

Here's the first one and here's my answers. If anyone can figure out the final answer (two words 5,7) I'd be ever so grateful 😊

The one with Ant McPartlin in, the woman in the middle looks like someone out of Heartbeat or Emmerdale or something similar....the name tricia is bouncing around but I'm not sure.

The white haired bloke is Ted Turner but who is the other one?

Keanu Reeves - Ted of Bill & Ted.

I thought ARS might be Codebreaker like the puzzle books.

Keanu Reeves - Ted of Bill & Ted.

Ah!

Thank you.

There are films called both Fracture and Fractured and I'm not sure which is right

I've made a spreadsheet too and put all the years on. Once we've got all the films I can then just sort them into order and hopefully it will give us the full sentence/question!

Fracture was a bigger film than Fractured so I'm going with that

Swedish Chef could be Chef (2014 film but looks a bit small time for this list) or maybe -at a stretch- Oz. Because I looked the character up and someone called Oz played him?

There is a film called Chef. 2014 - Jon Favreau.

Yes, Frank Oz did the hands I think 😂

Apparently the Chef says 'Bork, bork, bork' and there is a film called The Bork (not much of a blockbuster, but came out in 2010)????
