Right, so kt17 hasn't registered a vote. It wouldn't have made any difference to the outcome, though. We have 1 vote for FJ @24. paul @31, and garnama1 @6. 2 votes for jono @11, but a clear leader with 7 votes for tyke @12, with:
Premier`s son appearing in satire (4,4)
(As a proofreader, I regret the extra spaces on either side of the inverted comma!).
You may well have seen your prize before, but I couldn't resist it:

btw the "lacklustre" clue was from a Guardian Quiptic a couple of weeks ago:
Strong-willed woman caused royal din (4,4)
I think we can agree that most of these were better!

Sorry, tyke, I don't understand your reference to a "31th"?

It was the date in your preamble Chris!

Without appearing too stupid please can I have a parse for the winning clue?
