Typography Friday: 17th and Oak

Happy Friday!
The following unique prints are the work of freelance designer Pete Ware who specialises in creating 'one-of-a-kind' prints'. He personally believes that

"everyone has space in their heart for a nicely designed print. That's where I come in." 

Pete uses a fantastic mixture of typography & illustration to create his prints we he can also do completely personalised. Pete also draws inspiration from the film & television industries incorporating iconic characters & famous lines into his designs. 17th and Oak's prints make for brilliant gifts for that someone who wants something different this year!
Why not to guess what film or television show the following characters are from?
