Re: Hangman
I have the DVD of Maid Marian now, but I've only watched a few episodes so far.

Re: Hangman
Oh gosh, there I go again... 
I seem to be a menace for forgetting when it's my turn, don't I?!
The good news is, I've just thought of a quote I'd like to use next. The bad news is, I'm away from home until Wednesday afternoon and can't check my copy of the book in question to make sure I get it right!!
So that's my excuse for the moment. But I'll get to it once I'm home, I promise.

Re: Hangman
All of you were so good at guessing the phrase even with a few letters except me.

Re: Hangman
All right, here we are! Hope this will be worth the wait. It's a quote (well, part of one) spoken by a character in one of Enid's books:
"_ / _ _ _ '_ / _ _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ _ ' _ / _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ ..."

Re: Hangman
Anita must be psychic. 
Seriously, I did wonder whether I should use a quote from the same book I took the caption competition picture from, but was hoping enough days had elapsed that no-one would notice. I should have guessed there'd be a fellow fan of the Adventure series who'd be thinking along the same lines...
Over to you, Anita!! Well done. That certainly breaks the record for fastest round of Hangman (or just about any other game here)...

Re: Hangman
Sorry about that! I thought the phrase probably began with "I don't" or "I can't" - and the rest followed!
Next one:
"_ _ _/ _ _ _ _/ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _?" _ _ _ _/ _ _ _/ _ _ _/, _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

Re: Hangman
I'm speechless... I mean I've seen people get the answer fairly quickly but that was something else!!
Seeing as I can't repeat that amazing feat I'm going to have to ask for an E to start with.
