Many thanks to all those who entered this weekend’s challenge. All 10 entrants received votes spread across 18 separate clues. I combined votes for Mattrom 24/25, Whetstone17/18 and Buddy 16/27 as they were each variations on the same clue (though in the end this made no difference to the overall outcome).

Extraordinarily, we have a four way tie for second place honours, each with 6 votes, namely Paul@9, Paulh@15, Tyke@21 and Buddy@16/27.

However, nudging to victory by a single vote on 7, is Chris@2 with just three words…

Warning for sentry? (7)

Congratulations Chris! You’ve earned an assortment of prizes…

Cheers all, thanks for playing and as I always say…

Goodness! Mine was far from my favourite. Thanks for all the votes.

Thanks jono. Rear Window was a tour de force for its restricted scenes. I don't know who did the voiceover for the second clip, but he seemed to have cornered the market in the 40s and 50s, and also seemed to be determined to make the queen sound common!

See you next weekend.
