Reputation only! The picture rang a bell and the period fits, so I took a punt (assuming I'm one of those who got it right).

Properly excellent round, Dave, took some right head-scratching for some of them.

I remember watching #8 about 30-35 years ago. TBH, #6 & 7 were much more trickier for me...
