Thanks to all those who entered this week’s challenge. Particularly clever I thought were Mattrom’s Spoonerism, Dorrien’s yard of ale, Spike’s ‘nick’, Buddy’s ‘wen’, Chris’s ‘dastardly con’, all the plays on ‘met’ and many others.

In the end we have second place Tyke@15 with two votes and in first place Buddy@4 with three votes…

Met police scouring dry coastland (8,4)

Congratulations Buddy here are the prizes…

Edgar “Dustcarten” (a spoof of the 1950’s series)…

…and here’s a brief clip of the original with Edgar “Lustgarten” (the only clip I could find that’s not just audio)…

Cheers all!

Well done, Buddy. Thanks for hosting, and for the mention, Jono. Appreciated.

Thanks to Geeker for the mention. Also appreciated.

Well done Buddy - appreciate your votes Spike & Dorrien plus mentions from Chrise & Paul. Enjoyed the clips Jono - sadly I remember the Lustgarten shows!

Congrats, Buddy, and thanks to Jono for hosting, the clips, and the mention. Also appreciated the likes from Geeker and Spike. WPR up soon for the next installment.

Thanks to paul, tyke, geeker, chris and mattrom for the votes and to jono for hosting and the clips. Not sure why but "tales of cunning and stupidity" from the second clip made me laugh harder than anything in the first. Thanks also for selecting a phrase which allowed me to use "the great wen" in a sentence for the first time in my life.

i'll look at the prizes later.
