19/20 at last, but the candy striped barbershop quartet has me stumped!
Help, PLEASE

The Angel is human and young, title is like a self help book.
The book is on the Waterstones best seller list and the cover has red string all across it.

Kicking myself for not getting this one until I read your clue! I have this book!

Very well regarded children's author with non British name

Got them all finally - the barbershop one had me completely stumped for ages!

Not David Walliams, then😂

I made a mess of that.

ifIwerenotanandroid · 14/11/2024 13:33

Comedy table: so if it's not 'Man Walks into a Bar' or 'Man Walks into a Pub' or 'Stop Me if You've heard This One'... what is it?

IdgieThreadgoodeIsMyHeroine · 14/11/2024 13:34

outofideas2 · 14/11/2024 13:15

I've still got the vampire/Dracula and the camera one to go...any clues, please?

You already got one of them 😂

What does it say on the camera?

Thank you, I got it and that is clearly not a flamingo.

BlueEyeshadow · 14/11/2024 13:36

How is the Sherlock one not The Hound of the Baskervilles? And I'm stumped by the angel. Got the rest now!

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 14/11/2024 13:36

I've just twigged that the clock is a clue

The colour is important.

Where is the man? What colour is it?

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 14/11/2024 13:37

Clock
Ghost
Travel
Poster

?

Got them all apart from the dripping table, could I have a hint please and thank you

It's a key ingredient in baking and a recent hit

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 14/11/2024 13:39

@Evenstar

Can I get the clock off you?

IdgieThreadgoodeIsMyHeroine · 14/11/2024 13:40

I've got soldier, comedy and ghost left. None of the clues for comedy have helped me so far!

Part of the clock is a specific colour. Hint: if they'd tried doing this clue any other way, they'd have been highly racist!

Evenstar · 14/11/2024 13:43

@EineReiseDurchDieZeit think of the colour and another name for a clock dial, all one word

EveryKneeShallBow · 14/11/2024 13:44

Stuck on the poster. Tried variations on the title of a Victoria Wood Song, but clearly not it. Clue, please!

Elliania · 14/11/2024 13:45

I'm still stuck on 4:

The man reading at a desk - I thought I had it with the colour of the place he was but it didn't take
The singer dressed as a bee
The workshop poster
The barbershop quartet

It's the name of an autobiography by a female comedian, but it's also a phrase to describe the sort of woman often lacking in fiction, especially that written by men.

Nousernameforme · 14/11/2024 13:46

The only way I got the poster was by goggling female comedian autobiography and the words on the poster
