Thanks to all who entered this Weekend’s Peer Review. It was a close contest but we do have a clear winner.

On the basis that Jimmy’s vote was for Tyke @16 then Tyke is in second place (if not then Tyke and Buddy share that honour). Either way the winner is Geeker with a rather ingenious construction …

Femme fatale Dench can't dress topless? (11)

Congratulations Geeker, “mondo impressive” (I learnt ‘mondo‘ today, some of you will also have seen it, it was new to me)

For your prize, some Shakespeare-inspired enchantresses… https://youtu.be/gKOdxZTaADQ?si=go5yZ42ObIZeG5CC
…I particularly like use of the now obsolete meaning of “drab” towards the end.

Cheers all
Ttfn!

Well done Geeker, cheer Jon, and thanks everyone for the votes. Always much appreciated.

congats geeker and thanks jono

Nice one Geeker - well done! Thanks for the votes - enjoyed the challenge and the clip Jono.

My `51` seems to be a nuisance and serves no purpose ... other than giving away my year of birth - it`s not my IQ ... honest! Will contact Norah and try to get it removed.

Well done geeker, and thanks Jono for hosting

Nice one geeker; thanks to jono for hosting and to voters for the votes.

Thanks to my voters and to jono - I enjoyed the clip.

Well done, geeker. An excellent clue, even though Dame Judi probably isn't everybody's idea of a femme fatale. Just shows all the more what a great actress she is.

Well done geeker, a lovely all-the-way 3pt-er.
Thanks too, as ever, jono.

Thanks to jono for hosting and excellent prize.
I've seen very little of Blackadder, unfortunately. Perhaps because I watched very little television during the years the series ran. [Haven't watched *any* television at home since 2010.]

Very grateful to paulh, bacchanal, tyke51, buddy and paul for votes.

True, Dame Judi is not exactly a textbook femme fatale. But I liked the topped 3-word clue idea, she was a natural for the first, and no better name or word came to mind. 😁
