> [@An\_Gadai](#): > > By the way, dunno how well known it is, but the title is a pun on the fact that Where’s Waldo? is known as Where’s Wally? in Britain, Ireland and elsewhere. I’d figured the title was a reference to those books, but I didn’t know they’d renamed them for the UK. I wonder why? Waldo’s already a very uncommon name in the US - I can’t imagine it could be much rarer in the UK. ---

Other way around. Where’s Wally? is the original, it was retitled for Americans. ---

> [@](#): > > 154 is Sgt Bash one of the house robots from the UK Robot Wars, not fictional Apparently, the criterion is “from movies and TV”, not “fictional”. Hence also the lack of robots exclusively from books. ---
