All credit to @scotstar for creating the game, back in March 2018. Can't believe how far we've come!

And since @Ladywillpower correctly guessed @FintyTin's last clue, this is @Ladywillpower**'s latest clue:

This old German name opened Pandora's box in 1929. Her royal connections meant that she waltzed off to one of the Channel Islands with the Doctor.

@Clettercletterthatsbetter has guessed Clara!

And the home county is known as the “garden of England”

Rowena?

Yes! Rowena Ravenclaw is the mother of Helena Ravenclaw (The grey lady in Harry Potter)
Also Rowena was the daughter of Hengist who seduces her husband in order to get Kent for her father

Over to you!

I didn’t get the Anglo Saxon clue but being a HP need has its uses!

I’ll get my thinking cap on for the next clue...

*nerd, not need! Must learn to proof-read!

Well played @Clettercletterthatsbetter and nice clues @TheGirlWhoLived. Eagerly awaiting the next, as always!

@Clettercletterthatsbetter it’s you to go now! Also eagerly awaiting
Thanks @finallychangedmyusername I went too easy with my previous name and then too hard I think so need to find a middle ground!

I’m tired, so apologies if this has been done before/recently or makes no sense!

Not to be found on the periphery, this northern regal chap makes a less than favourable impression in informal situations.

Jim?

Not Jim

Eddard/Edward/Ned?

Or maybe Ross?

Not an ‘Ed’ name or Ross.

Ross/Jim are closer geographically with the regal ‘northerner’ bit.

Duncan?

Ladywillpower close - you’re definitely on the right track with Duncan

Malcolm?

Malcolm in the Middle.
King Malcolm of Scotland.
Malcolm Tucker from the Thick of It (not sure about that).

I think you're right @Ladywillpower!

You’re right Ladywillpower, well done!

But the last clue wasn’t Malcolm Tucker (though I wish I’d used him), it was a bit more tenuous - Mal is often used as a nickname for Malcolm, the prefix mal meaning badly/poorly, hence thought of less than favourably in informal situations.

Over to you!

Here goes
I played the original Gallic law enforcer. Beloved by air traffic controllers I am extremely longsighted.

Roger?

Roger Allam played Inspector Javert in Les Miserables.
Roger & out favoured by ATC.
Roger Daltrey can “see for miles & miles”
Well done Lady G & over to you.

I'm almost embarrassed to admit that that final clue I thought "rabbit? I bet they are long sighted"

Here's another clue.

I’m very fast, have been top of my game more than once. I look good in red even when I’m crabby.

Sebastian?

Nice work @Clettercletterthatsbetter ! Well done!

I didn’t get all the clues but thought Sebastian Coe and the crab from the Little Mermaid?
