And since @Ladywillpower correctly guessed @FintyTin's last clue, this is @Ladywillpower**'s latest clue:

This old German name opened Pandora's box in 1929. Her royal connections meant that she waltzed off to one of the Channel Islands with the Doctor.

@Clettercletterthatsbetter has guessed Clara!

So 3 is fat boy slim so could be Zoe or Woody

The alias of Beatrix is Arlene Machiavelli?

Is 4 Montgomery (Lightening) McQueen named after Glen McQueen?

3 is indeed Fatboy Slim! (But not Zoe, nor Woody).

And 4 isn't Lighting McQueen (which both DSs would have approved of!)

And no, Beatrix is a wife-to-be, possibly dressed as such!... her alias is more slithery.

Whilst clue 1 IS a literary clue, you'll need to think more visually... Dahl's sidekick.

Fat boy slim Nelly?

Quentin Blake for 1?

This is fun. Team work

@Ladywillpower, nope sorry!

@LadyGAgain has it, Quentin!

Do you want to solve the other clues or shall I share?!

Oh!!! Quentin is the overall answer? Gosh! Yes please do share. It's clear that I didn't solve the puzzle

Ooh well done Lady G & excellent clues finally!
That brought back memories of Questin Wilson on Strictly Come Dancing & I would never have guessed that it was Fat Boy Slim's middle name.
Looking forward to the next clue 🙄

Here you go!

Clue 1 - The tall man is the BFG, the large reptile is the Enormous Crocodile and Sophie is the little girl in the BFG. Quentin Blake was the illustrator for all these Roald Dahl characters.

Clue 2 - The wife-to-be is the heroine in the movie Kill Bill, best known as The Bride (code name is Black Mamba). The colourful gentlemen references Misters Brown, White, Blonde, Blue, Orange and Pink in Reservoir Dogs. Vincent is a title character in Pulp Fiction. Quentin Tarantino directed and produced Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.

Clue 3 - Norman who has an ever-changing waistline is the DJ, Norman Cook, AKA Fatboy Slim. His full name is Norman Quentin Cook and he was born Quentin Leo Cook.

Clue 4 - Cars/number 5 references the TV show Fifth Gear, hosted by Quentin Willson.

And the final (deliberately omitted) (non) clue was that there 5 clues! Or a clue to the number 5... Quentin itself means "five" or " the fifth".

Hope you enjoyed that one!

Meant to add, the Bride's real name is Beatrix (although it's only mentioned once in the films, she's always know as simply The Bride or Black Mamba). Anyway, I digress.... she's one of Quentin Tarantino's (kick-ass) characters.

Wow!
Truly amazing and cryptic and well thought out clues. I 100% guarantee that mine won't be so high brow .
Back later!

Haha, glad you enjoyed, I look forward to your next clue @LadyGAgain!

Here you go!

One half of an 80’s sitcom
A hostage
Desperate but the complete love interest
One of our nations skippers
Don’t forget me, though I forgot myself
I am famous at Christmas but I’m here all year round.

Terry?

Nailed it @Ladywillpower 👊🏽

Looking forward to new clues @Ladywillpower 🙌🏽🙌🏽

A literary pachyderm. I take myself very seriously.!

Nelly?

Not Nelly!

The shortened form of my name could refer to a comedic delivery person

Cornelius?

Not Cornelius!
I am a poetic pachyderm who reminisces about their extreme youth.My illustrator shares my name.
