Cryptic Clues For British Films...

[sandyRoe]

I've just been sent a copy of this quiz which I've no intention of trying to solve. If somebody was trying it where would they start? For example, the first question is: 'Panicking, I report disloyal stinker.' (6,6,7,3)
Just to stress, I don't want this answered.

[boxtops]

I've got the answer, sandy.....

[jno]

uh, anag?

[bookbinder]

This looks like another example of a quiz that's been compiled by a well-meaning amateur who doesn't really understand how a quiz really should be compiled.

[TheWinner]

Well I am going to answer anyway, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
(am I in trouble?)

[boxtops]

Naughty Winner, I held back!

[TheWinner]

oops!

[boxtops]

LOL, it wasn't difficult, I'd like to see the other clues!

[TheWinner]

p.s. don't submit any more clues, you know what we are like, we just can't help solving them......

[sandyRoe]

I was just imagining ABers and other quizzers googling through thousands of British film titles.

Bookbinder - it's the Late Spring Quiz for Macmillan by Richard Cleaver.

He's by no means an amateur and his quizzes are very popular and raise a lot of money for the charity.

once you'd seen Stinker Tailor Soldier Py, the rest was easy...

[boxtops]

No, we didn't, sandy - it was a pretty straightforward anagram :-)

[bookbinder]

...well, I don't like his style.

[sandyRoe]

It didn't look straightforward to me and that's why I've no intention of trying to solve it.

This is the latest Macmillan Quiz .Richard has said not to ask on the internet .
Please don't spoil it for the rest of us .I haven't even got my copy yet .
And btw ..he's no "well meaning amateur " either and has been setting these quizzes for ages and raising a lot of money in the process.

[boxtops]

OK< we've only answered one, and sandy didn't really want us to do that anyway :-(

[TheWinner]

I promise I won't answer any more. If we don't know the quiz, and are not told, we just don't know.

[Wharton]

Is it one of the 'Carry On' films?

[quinie]

I've sent for this quiz as I like a challenge! I'm not very au fait with films but I like to support Richard's Charity.Boxtops,why don't you send for a copy? Sure you'd enjoy it??

[boxtops]

I could, if I knew where to get it from
