Really like this, and think it's beautifully written, believable and well directed ; but I think Christopher Eccleston is badly miscast, and his over-acting sticks out like a sore thumb, spoiling an...
Ah yes, very familiar territory this morning - have visited the 'stark-looking' house (and most of his other work). Very easy questions, though; the name of the ruined castle or the cave would have...
Since the Mail have stopped doing their own points, they want everyone to register for a Nectar card, but I don't want to start receiving mountains of junk mail, as they have so many 'partners'. Has...
Thought I'd start a thread on this second puzzle: looks quite interesting, but I fear they'll spoil it by spelling it all out with the ensuing clues, as they did with the first one. Anyone have any...
Morning Flonska, and any other solvers. Lovely part of the country we're in this week, and pretty straightforward to place it with his mentioning of The Blue Boy. I notice, though, that Brian Smith,...
I make the answer to 10a 'Listened, with answer to follow fast approaching?' LENT AN EAR
which should be 4, 2, 3 not the 4, 1, 4 given beside the clue. Anyone agree, or have I missed something?...

Anybody watch this on the Travel Channel? Really enjoy it (and The Tree House Guys), but I'd love to know the real cost of the extensive work they carry out on the cabins. When they come across...
Lose ground, lose erection, lose love - end! (4, 4)
From the letters I have it looks like Drop Back (lose ground), but I can't see the wordplay. Any ideas, please?...
The lead to my laptop - Compac Presario CQ60 - has stopped working (worn through, just as it comes out of the little black box that joins the two parts of the lead) so of course my laptop won't...
G'day! Spent most of this morning looking through old papers, cuttings etc, and, yes, it was the Allan Ramsay Hotel we played at - at least three times. Can't remember much about it (the name doesn't...
G'day, Flon. Hillforts! Oh yes, just for us - and a canal, a pier, a battle and a branch line. Luckily, I have an old (1920) railway map on the wall of my staircase, so once I'd worked out the general...
