4. John Wyndham wrote Trouble with Lichen (brilliant book!)

Polly Dee,

Could you give us 2 or 3 other clues with your answers so that we can get an idea of how the setter's thinking?

1. Jimmy Tarbuck.

3. Zaza Gabor.

Bernie,

The Jimmy Tarbuck answer I don't understand at all what's the reference to "wall" all about please?

I know the reference to the diamonds and her not hating a man enough to give her diamonds back, but not why they're her best friends. Also, Isn't her name Zsa Zsa?

Think I'm going through a thicko phase today! (Again)

When Jimmy first came to prominence, in the early ,60s, his back drop was a brick wall covered in graffiti. I think these are more general knowledge than cryptic.

wendy, you'r right about the spelling of Zsa Zsa, my apologies.

Bernie, perhaps the person who wrote the quiz thought it was ZAZA too.

I still dont get the "best friends" thing though.

Wendy,
My line of thinkig was, as she has been married 9 times (I think ? )she has a liking for diamonds. Either that or wedding cake! Also, Jimmy Tarbuck's wall was known as "Tarby's wall".
