I mean, all of these photos are from an actual museum in Yorkshire.

Rob, you should open a small museum in some windswept town on the Yorkshire coast, Filey or whatever, Rob Palk's Museum of Marvels and Wonders with a dancing lager drinking bear automaton and loads of this sort of kitsch stuff. You wouldn't need to physically be there. Cash cow.

Battling PM Crust Ahead front page with a very literal pie chart of all Boris Johnson's woes

Just a masterpiece of 'that probably sounded like a pun that worked in someone's head one morning', the visuals still give it that extra comedy including the mustard allowing for a more conventional idiom

Still no correct guess, although @robpalk.bsky.social went for Footloose which came on very shortly afterwards. But the answers are a great grab-bag of 80s classics. I'll give it a clue at 4pm. I didn't mean to make this into a quiz format, but here we are.
