Once bumped into Tom Baker on Oxford Road, Manchester, nearby the station, at 6ft 3ins tall the guy is enormous!

Not that I'm aware of and not the connection I'm looking for.

Good question, this!

Nope and you can add a caravan to the list of connected items.
Utterly off-the-wall guess: I suppose it wouldn't be Beatrix Potter's book The Fairy Caravan ?

zebra, eagles and caravan are all mentioned in Alistair MacLean book titles. Did he have a puppet and a bear as well?
'Puppet on a Chain' and 'Bear Island' are both amongst his works

It was the caravan comment that made the connection.
Lots of football clubs have moved grounds, but in the premier league era only two have hosted the home games of more than one club. Which two grounds?

Selhurst Park (Crystal Palace and Wimbledon) is one perhaps?

Brighton played at Gillingham (not a premier league team obviously) and then at an athletics stadium. Southampton didn’t leave the Dell until St Mary’s was ready

I think you’ve contradicted yourself there but the gist of it is right. Fulham played at Loftus Road whilst Craven Cottage was being done up.
So, a 1-1 draw between you and Mcr Warrior. Luckily there’s no VAR available, so you’ll have to conduct your own penalty shootout to decide who goes next

The Life and times of Grizzly Addams - American TV series. Lead actors are on tip of my tongue but cant remember at the moment.

Including the bear?
You are correct with The Life and Times of Grizzly Addams - I now need the lead actors other than Bozo the Bear please ?
