Hi Marilynne
Same here, if the man to the left of the chimney is Peaky Blinders.
These are the ones I'm stuck on. Happy to help with any of yours, although there might be overlap.
The word 'david's' on a red sign
The tower block above that - I think that might be 'The Tower'
The 10/10 on the earth in the sky above that
The assortment of characters and a device/machine on the chimney to the right
The black shape on the next chimney to the right
KILO etched into the wall
The Asian man in the window above Diddly Squat (I do recognise him as a commentator but can't remember which programme)
DONALD SLOB (an anagram?)
The blue spanner and red screwdriver (? The Repair Shop)
The white flower design in front of that window (? White Lotus)
The nurse
The coloured LIFE sign to the right of Emma Raducanu
The knitted bee (Sewing bee seems likely)
Which would leave the following as one clue:
The brown and white striped jumper behind the david's sign (or maybe that's part of the same clue ? Schitt's Creek)
The house above with a starburst and some eyes and the man holding the K of ASK (got the ASK clue)
There's also a green shape in the window below The Volunteer, which might be a clue, depending on whether the jumper / starburst / house / man holding K / eyes are one or more clues

Andrew the man in black on the roof wasn't Peaky Blinders but a Netflix show called Lupin. Kilo is an anagram of Loki. I'm stuck on the little pink and grey character in front of the window, the white flower (not sure about White Lotus) and the man on the white horse.

[andrewc]

Thanks very much for Loki and Lupin. I'd heard of Lupin but not seen it. I am a fan of Omar Sy, after the film Intouchable. By the pink and grey character, do you mean the Olympic and Paralympic characters, or am I looking at the wrong window/missed that clue? I think the man on the white horse is from War of the Sontarans (Doctor Who).

[MarilynneT]

Andrew the Asian man in the top right hand window is David Olusoga and the 10/10 is A Perfect Planet. Who are the people in the top left hand window and the scary character above The Volunteer sign? Thanks

[andrewc]

The couple in the top left window are Lily James and Emily Beecham in The Pursuit of Love. The scary character is Priti Patel's puppet in Spitting Image.

[MarilynneT]

Nice one. Thanks Andrew.

I’m stuck on the people and tower thing on top of the chimney. And the fabric importers company sign?

[0113andyd28]

I think the fabric importers is Ridley Road?
Anyone know what the musical instrument is hanging on the building or the Ding Dong!

[andrewc]

Hi another Andy
Agree with Ridley Road. The instrument is called a Serpent. Ding Dong is the verbal equivalent of a Paul Hollywood handshake in Glow Up, the make up show.

The people and things on top of the chimney is Vigil. What the picture below the fabric importer's sign and does anyone think the woman in red is Rupaul's Drag Race?

[andrewc]

Thanks for that. I was trying to make that image into Vigil. Like It's a Sin (which I haven't found) I thought it had to be in there somewhere. I think the picture is Bake Off, because they always use illustrations like that for the Showstopper (or maybe it's the Technical Challenge). Def Ru Paul. Found the exact image.

[MarilynneT]

Yes it's definitely Vigil. That's the top of a submarine. Wasn't sure about RuPaul but found the image. Still looking for the white flower image.

Box of washing bottles - The cleaner.

[RTow]

Does anyone know what that jumper is behind the sign?

[MarilynneT]

I think the jumper goes with the David's sign as Schitt's Creek. I'm not convinced the tower block is The Tower and there is a house at the bottom of it. Is there an explosion there?

[ClaireB1000]

Hi the musical instrument hanging on the building is called a serpent which I believe represents the TV series The Serpent

[ClaireB1000]

I thought the colourful “LIFE” may have been for It’s a Sin. What do you think?

[andrewc]

I think It's a Sin should be clued, but I thought that sign might be Life in Colour, another Attenborough series. There is a house below the explosion / starburst, a tiny man and the ends of two words below the jumper. They could be AL and BLY, but it's not clear.

[MarilynneT]

Andrew, I saw those letters below the jumper but can't think what they mean. I don't think Schitt's Creek is on there as there were no new series in 2021. There is also some red writing behind the Kathy sign but can't make out what it says.

[Midnighter]

DONALD SLOB is an anagram of Bloodlands.
