No need to apologize, darla. Vote received well before deadline.

All votes in, a clear winner.
Thanks to entrants for many worthy clues.

Well done, Jono. Thanks, Geeker.

Well done Jon! Cheers Geeker, hope you feel sufficient himage was paid to P.A.M.
Thanks for the votes Baccy and for the like Chris. Much appreciated.

Many thanks for the votes and likes. I don’t think I’ve written an acrostic before with any level of success. Thanks for the challenge Geeker, I relished the opportunity to read up on the subject matter. Enjoyed the first two clips, the third I will definitely watch over the weekend.
Cheers all!

congrats jono, thanks to geeker for hosting and to all for votes/likes

Nice work, geeker - and very well done jono. Cheers for the votes.

Congrats jono and thanks geeker.

Well done, Jono! Appreciated the mentions from yourself and Paul. Thanks, Geeker.
