This week, our quiz is a bit more cultured than normal (well, kinda...), as we present 15 works of art. Simply name the film o🍌r television show they featured in (no TV episode titles required). They may been important artefacts around which the whole plot hinged, or they may simply have been hanging on the wall in the background (and there may be more than one from the same film/TV series...) Can you identify them?

Incidenta🐲lly, wouldn't it be great if you could buy replicas of some of these paintings? If you're a talented artist, we reckon there's money to be made with that idea! Just send u𝓰s a small percentage if the business takes off, okay?

on the SFX forum, but make sure you only post them in invisiꦜble text (if you don’t know how, just ask on the thread – they’re a very friendly bunch).
