'twas the night before lockdown ...

Hello again! Right then, here we go. Usual rules ("rules") apply to tonight's #harlequiz - 25 questions with a theme running through the answers. You don't need to get the theme to take part, but if you do guess it it may help. Or it may not. If you do look for the theme, beware soundalikes, spellalikes, hidden words, awful word puns, and tenuous connections. Oh, and also instances where you have to put consecutive answers together to make a whole theme related 'thing'. Ready? Go!
