Quite extraordinary! I've been completely unable to get 88 for well over a month now, but as soon as I posted my question the answer suddenly hit me.

Could anyone please drop me a hint for No. 31 "Take a stroll beyond the enclosure in a London Street" (8 4). This is my last one - it doesn't seem to have been a problem for anyone else but I just cannot get it !!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks.

Lizzie.
Number 50.
Anagram of last 3 words = name of an author.
Then look up a list of his plays/books.

Perhaps the answer to number 99 is in the first 3 words of the clue...
"Hold on to" as in k**p...?

June. No - I don't think that keepnet is the answer. In Chambers (the font of all wisdom for this puzzle), a keepnet is suspended IN the water, not OVER it. With this puzzle, every word is significant. Or did you have a different word in mind?

Badger4.
A keep net is partly out of the water or the fish would escape if it was all IN the water.
The clue is ambiguous I admit.
I also think that ' k*****t better fits the theme of the clue.
Don't let me influence you if you think otherwise. Go for it and good luck with the quiz.
