They're from Family Fortunes!

 

Yeah, it’s a mix and match.  The “Taj Mahal” was definitely Larry Gogans show as it was an Indian restaurant in Dublin City centre across the road from the dental hospital. The Hitler one was Gogan too.  

 

I think most yhe rest are actually just made up but attributed to Family Fortunes for comedic affect. 

 

Larry Gogan was a famous Irish radio presenter who is retiring and had a quiz he did for decades.

The Taj Mahal was pretty much the original curry house in Dublin, was it not? A kid in my class - circa '85 - had his birthday party there. I wasn't invited. Much to my disappointment, as the place seemed so exotic at the time.

 

Story of my life, really.
