Thanks to the entrants for a strong selection of clues, fun to read. Tight cluster at the top of the table, positions 1 through 5 with 9, 8, 7, and 5 votes respectively.

Gold (9): simplesimon@10's vivid acrostic Philosopher’s beast - bit unsure, realises it drinks and nibbles straw as survival strategy to begin with.

Silver (8): jono@3's anagram He’s torn by deplorably bad Russians.

Bronze (7): tyke51@14's acrostic Philosopher starts to believe until Rousseau impugns Descartes and Nietzsche.

Well done, ss!

Congrats Simplesimon - a well deserved win! Thanks Geeker for an excellent challenge and the clips - I remember the Zombies! Appreciate the votes.
I wonder why Lady Philosophers seem to be thin on the ground - they must have more important things to do!

Thanks Geeker - just finished watching the clips.
Never watched Big Bang Theory before - although all our kids do - certainly will start to catch up with that program(me)!
We did listen to the Zombies first time round - we’re that old.
But Buddy Guy was our favourite. We’ve seen all the great blues men over the years - Hooker, Wolf, Muddy et al. Jimmy Reed actually autographed my stomach with an orange felt tip pen in 1969 - I only washed it off last year.

Thanks to ChrisE, FJ, Jono, Mattrom and Tyke for the votes and Paul of course.

Stay safe
