| (3) People like movie sequels, don’t they? And ‘Part III’ films, which they call ‘threequels’. I don’t know what the term is for films like Fast & Furious 8: The Fate of the Furious, and anyway it’s not relevant right now. Here are the subtitles of some ‘Part II’ films.

| (4) Next time you see a turtle dove, admire its turtle-like plumage. That's how it got its name, right? Wrong! Turns out they're called that because they make a sound like 'tur-tur'. Turtles are a whole different world, with many species, often endangered. Below are ten types of turtle. Five are real, the other five I invented just now. So a point each time you can tell me: Shelly or Smelly? | |

| (5) Last time, when we did people with three-letter names, I said I didn’t think it would be possible to repeat the trick with two. But, allowing the odd initial and numeral and animal and robot, I’m happy to admit I was wrong. Who are these individuals? | |
