Glad I helped, perplexed.
I'm afraid I still cannot make anything of

77 Working with Mrs Black (7)


despite clues about a Liverpool entertainer who was Miss rather than Mrs

77. Difficult one to give a clue that makes sense!!! I will tell you that the ladys christian name forms the last letters of the answer. :-)

Thank you Polly I'll keep at it.

I've found the cat that I think you mean, Polly, but I'm not sure how the clue works, even if there is a mistake.
Thanks anyway.

If something is Woking it is ....?

I agree Miss is better

Thank you , Mamya, but I'm afraid I cannot understand your clue.

fred

do you know who Mrs or better still Miss Black is, then you have your last 5 letters

Did you mean WoRking ?
That makes more sense to me, but it is still so very unlikely that the setter has made a mistake with Miss/Mrs.
She never ever performed under anything other than her own name (well, the opposite of her own name , really)

oh gosh yes did mean working....sorry cannot explain any better - Gen rarely makes an error so gave Miss to help you get the answer.

I think we are all settled on the cat.

I suppose I'm just quibbling because I have never known gen2 to make a mistake before and Mrs Black is certainly a mistake if we have the correct answer.
Having said that, though, I've been at this for ages and cannot get anything even close, never mind better.
Thanks to all for their help.
