If the colour is in the question OR the answer then maybe Robin Hood for Q1.

Q1, could it be Shrek?

Mamy - and Richard Greene played Robin Hood in the TV series.

Many thanks for all your help.. They are so obvious when you know them Still not sure about Man in Green. The wording just says The Theme is Colour ! I was wondering if the answer is Lincoln Green but not sure. Could it be an actor/film title ....!

I think The Man in Green is Richard Green as he played Robin Hood in the 1950's TV programme. Many thanks again for all your help.
