Oh my. These are not getting any easier, are they.

“What are you doing this evening?”
“Flicking through my entire Target collection”

There's a disconcerting number of verbs ,and a general lack of The in there.....

[Nyder]

Yesterday’s chapter title mash up was this stone cold classic

Welcome to Day 22! Did you think you’d escaped the Only Connect-style music round? Well think again

I want the name of the songs, and the spurious connection that links the song titles. At least there’s no time limit

Morning! Ooh yesterday was fiendish Let’s have a look at those song titles:-

Right Said FRED (Quilley)
(Hawaiian) BALLROOM Blitz
JOE (Maplin) Le Taxi

Yep HI-DE-HI was the connection

Well done to Jon Masters for submitting the only correct answer! You’re on my wavelength Jon - what a scary thought

Late night delerium only I'm afraid, although I do now know a lot about people with the surname Blitz ! !

[duncan]

Well done Jon. I was nowhere close.

So the last question ….. can you identify this actress

I can hear her voice in my head, but I can,' t think what she's been in !!

It's been great to have you back, Dave, and wishing Nyder and all his victims a very Merry Christmas

[duncan]

Well, I will only be submitting a guess. She looks familiar but I just can't be 100% sure.

I would like to Echo what Si and Jon have said. Thank you Dave, for the effort you put in to this each year. It really is a December highlight.

[Richard Brinck-Johnsen]

Merry Christmas to all of you!

Happy Boxing Day! Day 24’s answer was FLORA ROBSON taken from an episode of The Human Jungle.

Come back later this afternoon for the final results!

[SiHart]

Oh! It's obvious now you say it!

So here we go then …. mention in dispatches for Jonno and Kenny for dipping in and out when they could - thanks for dropping by!

In 5th place with 20 points it’s Andrew Curnow.

In 4th place well done to Jon Masters with 29 points.

There’s a tie for 3rd and 2nd place with 31 points each …. it’s Si Hart and Duncan! Well done boys - we need to agree a date and time for the tie-breaker!

Which means that in 1st place with a point more than Si & Duncan …. many congrats to Richard with 32 points A very closely fought contest this year!

Wow! I genuinely didn't expect to win this year!

Well done to everyone for taking and thanks so much as ever to Dave for all your hard work.

This has been a very welcome return, especially of all the old favourites such as the two story mash up, the target covers, the Frankenstein face including dear old Leslie Crowther, and the Only Connect music round.

I will certainly be back to play again next year against such worthy opponents and a wonderfully devious quiz master!

Well done Richard, and for Si and Duncan - cue the Star Trek battle music ! !

[SiHart]

Always the tie breaker!
