at times.
1. A ghostly town.
2. For Pratty Flowers and Summer Wine.
3. The jeicester from Leicester.
4. Followed by CID.
5. A Ferrari?
6. Take water from a Cumbrian lake.
7. Pace bowler seeking movement off the pitch.
8. The Blue Ball will refresh Whistleblower's favourite.
9. Trevor (or the 2nd half of Zac) in good health.
10. Mr Darcy gave birth to Geoffrey.
11. A town for a chop or a hop.
12. A comfortable place for people to sit.
13. Ursa, of sorts, provides relief.
14. Lo, He comes with clouds descending.
15. Uncooked bog.
16. Craik's John was a Gentleman.
17. A King is located here - Charles I before his execution, but
not after.
18. ARs Alan and Richard in tandem.
19. Ideal for non-flying jet spotters.
20. Famous for its giant pie.
21. TV's Angela's lair.
22. Did his locks attract Jane Bennet?
23. Surname of Queen Anne's alias.
24. Card game not played in Winter?
25. Lake district's Old Man to the end of time.
26. Was Archie educated here?
27. The shade of plumage.
28. The side of offal.

All four correct. Do you remember the Barnsley Hop, sometimes
known as the Russian Ballet? It was a staple of 1960 social
evenings at youth clubs, with one guy having two female
partners.

Can't say that I do. Perhaps it didn't cross the Pennines.

A fine effort - eight correct. Numbers 6 and 21are not what I
had in mind. For 21, Angela needs her lair (not in the Scottish
graveyard sense,) or maybe her study.
