Poached? Pickled? Boiled? Scrambled (obviously the best)? Fried? Or in an omelette? You can list as many egg cooking techniques as you like, but its undeniable eggs are the best breakfast, lunch – damn, even dinner – you can get anywhere in the world.
So it certainly isn’t surprising they pop up all the time in film and TV. Your task? Name the movie or series they feature in. Good luck! And also congratulate me – not a single egg pun in those first two paragraphs.

Hopefully, someone will defeat Fraggle this week, and end this reign of terror. Comment moderation is on, as usual. That’s all, yolks!
I was scrolling on down to get to the comment box and kept going “Oh, I know that one, and that one and….”.
If I can recognize that many I wonder if I need professional help?

Hope you’re enjoying your holiday!
