43 is Dickon isn't it? Prufrock said it earlier. I have my copy of The Secret Garden here, will look for other answer.

janh · 11/03/2003 13:21

and prufrock got 43 - Dickon.

So you only have the trolls and the sauce left. Is Google any use for those?

jemw · 11/03/2003 13:24

I think 43 was Dickon??

jemw · 11/03/2003 13:25

sorry - just looked at the numbers missing, see prufrock already answered....

musica · 11/03/2003 13:26

29 - William, Bert and Tom - sounds unlikely I know!

musica · 11/03/2003 13:27

And onion sauce for no. 30

janh · 11/03/2003 13:31

Have we got 17 yet? I just cheated on google - it's a fat rabbit called Thumper.

janh · 11/03/2003 13:34

47 - Noddy and Bigears - I think it's Toytown rather than Toyland?

(I love Q46 - is it a trick?)
