Apologies I'm a 1st timer - Clue: Film starts to bring in old people in carriages. A&Q means answer & question, that's the way round I have it instead of Q&A

[Infomaniac]

It would be helpful if you told us the number of letters in answer and if you have any letters placed.

[factor-fiction]

Okay. How many letters please and do you have any placed

[Infomaniac]

P.S. please reply in this string rather than asking a fresh question.

[Infomaniac]

Looking at your previous post on this, biopic is correct: a biopic is a film and is made up f the initial letters (starts) of the rest of the clue.

[factor-fiction]

A biopic is a film. The clue indicates using initial letters by saying "starts..."

[lulu2000]

I WILL get the hang of this, honest! OK so I have -I-P-C (obviously 6 letters)

[factor-fiction]

Hi- it's better to keep everything in one thread so we don't have to look up the other one. You can add corrections by replying to your own question.
Welcome to AB, by the way!
