Fellowship of the ring - boxing ring
return of the king - charles II returned to England after the English Civil War
(Posting for the new page)
What connects:
Shirley Williams,
A nasty rash,
A Georgian trend-setter, and
Unchained Melody.
Shirley Williams was MP for Crosby, and Unchained Melody was once covered, I discover, by Jimmy Young... so I would guess there's a sort of rash called Stills and a Georgian Dandy called Nash?
That's the one, Chris 
Stills disease and Beau Nash were the other two.
(Jimmy Young had the original UK number 1 with the hit)
Over to you...
Princess Leia
Computers
An MPs wife
Haile Gebrselassie
Depression
Yin
Daltrey's critics?
No particular order 
At first glance, I can link four of them to the colour blue...
Scrub that - it's Stephen King novels, of course.
Starts with Carrie (Fisher), ends with Tommyknockers. I'll have a think about the others...
Princess Leia - "Carrie"
Computers - can't decide between "Rage", "Misery", "Needful Things", and "Desperation" (It's "It" of course)
An MPs wife - "Christine" (Hamilton)
Haile Gebrselassie - "The Running Man"
Depression - "Misery" (presumably)
Yin - "The Dark Half"
Daltrey's critics? - "Tommyknockers"
All correct  Nice bit of commentary on computers 
Sorry for the delay 
OK, what connects...
someone who told his employer to go fly a kite,
Borat,
a UK Prime minister,
animal-proof gates,
Ben Hur,
a British sculptor,
x² + y² + z² = r²,
someone who died on 14 March 2007,
the inhabitants of a sinking valley,
an original contestant on "They Think It's All Over", and
a guy whose Tornado was shot down over Iraq.
 I was going to do this one! Not quite as completely though...
So far I've got
Go fly a kite - George BANKS (Merry Pawpins)
Borat - Sacha Baron COHEN
UK Prime Minister - Harold WILSON
Animal-proof gates - STILES
Ben Hur - CHARLTON Heston
British Sculptor - Henry MOORE
x² + y² + z² = r² - A. BALL
d. 14 March 2007 - Gareth HUNT
Contestant on TTIAO - Lee HURST
I'm missing Peters and Ramsey, but can't get anything concrete from Google. It's the '66 England team.
Henry Fonda
Robert De Niro
Antonio Banderas
Ricky Tomlinson?
Well done, Chris.
The missing ones were CHARLTON Athletic and John PETERS. No Ramsay in there.
I'll look at your connection later 
Sinking valley, I get it now.

It's certainly music to some people's ears; but no!
is it prime ministers or presidents
