Answer: Chester

"Gunsmoke" ran on American radio from 1952 to 1961 starring William Conrad and on American television from 1955 to 1975 starring James Arness. Marshall Dillon was assisted by Chester (Chester Proudfoot on radio; Chester B. Goode on TV) played by Parley Baer on radio and by Dennis Weaver on television.

Answer: Linguini

Upon the death of master chef Auguste Gusteau, leadership of his restaurant is in flux, as Skinner, the former sous-chef takes over. Remy intervenes by hiding under Linguini's toque and pulling his hair to indicate what he wants him to do next. The film won Brad Bird the Academy Award for the Best Animated Feature of 2007.

Answer: Celia

Celia and Rosalind are cousins but their affection for one another is more sisterly. She did not need to flee the court of Duke Frederick but accompanied her cousin (and the jester Touchstone) into the forest. Another character, LeBeau, describes Celia's love for Rosalind as "dearer than the natural bond of sisters." Because this is a Shakespeare comedy, both girls find and win true love by the last act.

Answer: Hadji

Jonny Quest and his father Dr. Benton Quest first met Hadji in Calcutta where he was an orphan in the street. Dr. Quest adopted Hadji and he became Jonny's best friend. Hadji is a Hindu, a yogi, and a judo expert, normally dressed in turban and Nehru jacket. The programme ran through three television series (1964-1965; 1986; and 1996-1997) and two made-for-TV movies.

Answer: Samuel "Screech" Powers

Screech was played by Dustin Diamond, who was younger than most of the rest of the cast, as a classic nerd. He was fiercely loyal to Zack which protected him from bullies and uplifted his social standing. Screech was unlucky in love throughout the series.

When the high-school-based series wrapped, Screech went along to California University with Zack and Slater as his roommates, "Saved by the Bell: The College Years" (1993-1994).

Answer: Sam Weller

Sam Weller is to Mister Pickwick and Sancho Panza is to Don Quixote. Although he does not appear until the tenth chapter of a 57 chapter novel, he is as important as the eponymous Mr. Pickwick. Sam is a sort of Cockney man of all trades -- bright, physically capable, scrappy, full of insight -- who is hired as a valet but becomes a companion.

Answer: Mervyn Bunter

Lord Peter was injured severely in the First World War. His batman Sgt. Mervyn Bunter accompanied him home, assisted in his recovery and remained his gentleman's gentleman in civilian life. Bunter addresses Wimsey as "My Lord" but maintains a relationship based on friendship as well as social role. Apt comparisons can be made between Bunter and P.G. Wodehouse's Jeeves.

Answer: Dobby

While Dobby was elated to become a free elf, he missed a life of service and contracted with Dumbledore to work in the kitchens of Hogwarts.
