Can you recognise this book, movie or play from a couple of words?



Whoa.  This year is
zooming by.  This post comes to you an
hour earlier than normal, courtesy of daylight savings, which started last
night.  We were just saying this morning
how lovely it was to wake to full daylight, too.  (I’m not sure whether to be happy or
concerned that this year all the clocks in my house adjusted their time
automatically.  Including my chill alarm clock,
because everything’s online.)



At work we’ve already started the mad scramble to
Christmas.  Booking holidays, booking
end-of-year functions.  Honestly, once
upon a time we’d just book the local pub a couple of days before our
end-of-year party and we’d all trundle down. 
Nowadays, you book in October, or earlier, and places can still be
booked out.



In no time at all, it’ll be 2019.



But, in the meantime, let’s have some fun.  There are some words and phrases that you can
instantly associate with a book, a television series, a movie, or even a play.



“I’ll be back,” for example, is forever associated with the Terminator movies.  So here’s a list of—for us—well known words or phrases that we associate with a specific book, movie, television series, poem or play.



How many do you know?
