Which famous film via other films, television or radio, links

1) a fictional hangman
2) a real life queen
3) a fictional princess
4) a sherlock holmes
5) a dads army character and
6) a fictional schoolmaster

Obviously proving a very difficult question to research. Can anyone think of any names of fictional hangmen as this may be the clue to finding the link?

Jack Ketch was a hangman...so ketch can be used...not sure this is any help though.

He wasn't fictional.

Ketch can be used a derogatory name for a hangman.

As in "Our Country's Good" by Timberlake Wertenbaker.

The fictional hangman there was James Freeman.

As there are both male and female people in the list, do you think something links them rather than a name?
There aren't that many characters in Dad's Army and they are all listed on Wikipedia but nothing chimes

I have been trying to research the answer for over a week now and been unsuccessful.

Its such a vague and wide ranging question, as over 70 actors have played a "Sherlock Holmes" in film TV or radio.

Thanks everyone for trying though! It's becoming an obsession!

There's a famous film- "The Man Who loved Redheads", Elizabeth 1 famously had red hair, there are at least 2 fictional princesses who did (Ariel for instance, not from "the Tempest") and Conan Doyle wrote "The Red Headed League". Didn't Mrs Fox from Dad's Army dye her hair red?Sorry gotta go garden

Owen Red Hanrahan, fictional schoolmaster with red hair

The daughter in "The Hangman's Daughter" also had flaming red hair, and that's fiction
