Hmmm...
Here's an obscure one...

Which film character was inspired by an Alaskan Malamute called Indiana, who belonged to the films's Director?

Why am I even bothering to say 'Indiana Jones'?

Sure to bring AWOOOGAS all around.



In case I am right, what is the name of the portly character used in the 'Little Chef' logo?


In case I'm wrong, well POO!

AWOOOGA, unfortunately!
Too obvious, although I do see the logic. So much more obscure though...

Correct. Over to you jaffacat.

As a little duodenum (that's the correct word to put there, so don't say it isn't, I wanted that word there and it's there now) to the whole Fat Charlie thing, he was actually fatter in the '50s when the Little Chef brand appeared in the UK. He lost weight in the '80s/'90s but alas is now retired.
