The votes cast were
Paul 5 and 26 1 each
mattrom 2
Jono 3
aristo (leader of the Bad Boys) 3

Jono #3 is therefore the winner with

Well done, Jono, and to you too, Aristo.
Thanks to Bbm2 for hosting, along with Ros. Great job done at short notice, Ros.

Thanks to Tyke51, Mattrom and Jono for them mentions. Always appreciated.

Well done Jono - bad luck Aristo! Thanks for the mention Spike and special thanks to Rosalind for keeping the show on the road - hope you`re enjoying some peace & quiet Marty!

Congrats jono - nice to pick the winner. Thanks BBM2, and to Rosalind for stepping in.

Did I not get any credit for setting the only clue that referenced Trading Places?

That was a close one, sorry to pip you at the post Aristo! Thanks for stepping in Rosalind and thanks to Marty for the challenge and the clip. Cheers for votes from Chris, Tyke and Spike and the all important like from Mattrom which was the clincher it seems. And to Geeker for liking my other clue. See you all next week, if not before.
