If you haven't yet got the link, my nickname is a massive clue!

Time's up.
The final week's player is our very own Richard 'Lando' Landon.
Two of you scored maximum points this week, and that was Archie and Gazz, so the former now takes the lead, and the latter joins Maccy and Eppers in joint third. Here's the table:
1. Archie 17
2. BBLW 16
3= Eppers 15
Gazz 15
Maccy 15
6. Hermann 12
7. Ceefer 11
8. Market Harborough 6
Looks like it will all rest with the bonus points, then...

What links our five players?
BEN Hinchliffe (Ben 'Obi-Wan' Kenobi and Ben 'Kylo Ren' Solo)
Ken FINNey (Finn, from 'The Force Awakens' and 'The Last Jedi')
LUKE BECKETT (Luke Skywalker and Tobias Beckett - the latter from 'Solo: A Star Wars Story')
Tony HANcock (Han Solo)
Richard LANDOn (Lando Calrissien)
Yes, that's right - the link is Star Wars (a link I alluded to right at the start of the quiz, with a subtle quote "We meet again, at last!", as said by Darth Vader to Obi-Wan in 'A New Hope').
Anyway, if Archie was first to guess the link, then he cannot be caught and wins the quiz. But did he?....

Nope, he didn't!
Having seen his lead slip away in the final week of the quiz, Lennie dramatically (?) claws back the title at the death, with a superior bonus points score, being the first to guess the Star Wars link (closely followed by Gazz and then Archie, who have to settle for bronze and then silver respectively). Oh, and a shout out to the only other Heavener to guess the link, Hermann, who leapfrogs Eppers and Maccy to claim 4th.
Here's the final FINAL league table:
1. BBLW 26
2. Archie 25
3. Gazz 24
4. Hermann 19
5= Eppers 15
Maccy 15
7. Ceefer 11
8. Market Harborough 6
Congratulations to Lennie on a fine victory, and to Archie and Gazz for their podium finishes.
Thanks everyone for playing. There is likely to be a break next week (and possibly the week after), but I'll try to get the next quiz written and started soon.
Cheers
Sandy

Very well played, Lennie - that was a superb effort on the link, matey!
Commiserations to Archie on the Silver, but also congratulations, as it's still a great performance!
I'm really chuffed with the Bronze, especially after managing to guess it before such a seasoned champion as Archie - it's not often I can say that!
Well played on the link, H and well played everyone else!
Many thanks to Sandy for another superbly inventive quiz. Your hard work on these is not taken for granted as such, but while we're all busy beavering away trying to win that coveted trophy, it's easy to forget just how much work you put into these - thanks for everything you do, mate!

Thank you Sandy. A few lucky googles helped along the way there (Having never seen a single
Star Wars film in my life except for the odd 10 minutes or so).
Unlucky Archie and Gazza but I wear the Quiz Cloak of Honour at last against some serious contenders.
(Helped by Archie going to Cheltenham for a few days).
Take as long as you like for the next one Sandy. The cloak is very comfortable.
Cheers

Well played, Lennie.
Mr Google gets full credit for my podium place and well done to Gazz for getting the link without that assist.
Thanks to Sandy for another Wayne Fontana Mindbender.
