I think that sound I can hear is the other posters slapping their palms against their foreheads. Just leaves 3 in the TV shows. A much-praised show, although for what it's worth I think a touch over-praised. But what do I know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted May 21, 2020 However cryptic and teasing the clues are, it matters little if the answers are obscure US TV programmes that no one this side of the pond have heard of, never mind watched why not something like1970's UK tv series - not trying to high jack purple's thread so there is just the one, as a thought ps any answers after 10pm Thur so Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 5,489 Posted May 21, 2020 I must have surpassed myself... but it was that last clue that helped (which has the T initial - so I don't ruin it for others who may be looking) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The one at the end was always going to be a giveaway - hence the mixing up, as even if you could not quite see who 3 was, 4 would be the give away Anyone still unsure 4 is the actor Dudley Sutton - the late partner in 'crime' to Ian McShane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
