Don't think so.  Are you confusing Dad's Army with Allo Allo?

She's Rosamund PIKE

Bishop of Stockport....presumably no blokes want it.   Who's the fella though?

Mike Skinner AKA The Streets.

Streets/Lane the connection?

I know this one. Its Mike Skinner of the Streets.

I think that is probably correct.

18. 39,41,43,44,47

12 Is vexing me....I know the original Nawab of Pataudi played hockey for India, but no idea if he was a keeper, and also played cricket for England, but not sure if he ever captained.

OK cheated here, and checked my Wisden History of Test Cricket tome....Pataudi played 3 tests 2 under the peerless Douglas Jardine, but never captained :-(

1.  Luton - Newark

13. Proton Preve

Fox and Dog

12. Stuart Broad.

I just 'cheated' too, Reg, and found the answer.  It's not an obvious one. You will need to think outside of the box!   :D

Prob a woman then...Rachel Heyhoe-Flint, being the % shot.

Or look above  :)

Got it!

 :bye:

If 4 isn't Chichen Itza in Mexico, it might be Tikal in Guatemala.

15. is eV (electron volt)

Still a few gaps for 2, I'll go Bracknell or Thurrock

5.  guess cherry.

11. guess ewok....maybe something like e-k

What about ET?

Could be....

Process of deduction for the business manager 16......seagull manager...they fly in dump shit and fly out, having made a lot of noise.

11. is Dalek.......but I had a little help in getting it.  

16.  I would try 'pigeon manager' ....for a similar logic that Reg gave.

Nobody seems to have tried 14. What about oiligarchy? And if it doesn't exist, I'm trademarking it.

Thought about dalek.....but dismissed it on the basis of it not being a life form, rather a machine.   Having said that, I remember seeing Roy Castle, open one up on the screen of what is now the Saveloy, with Peter Cushing as the Doctor and there was a sort of blob inside.

I now have the answers.

Let me know if you want them.
