palman - I have a 9 letter word beginning with B which is another word for a Great Dane (so 10 letters with the addition of an S to fit Danes plural), but I can't for the life of me see how 'she can help to accommodate' can lead to that word! Am I on the right lines with the definition part of the clue, or is it something totally different?

Thanks Hufflecat, and are the other two letters e,t, being the back of street? If so, I still can't make a word. Sorry to be so slow. It may be the glass of wine!

Hufflecat, I can't see the problem with 28 being k....d.
It fits with the dictionary definition and clue 64 is not the name or breed of a cat, also 12 and 14. I had no doubts when I got that one, But Neville may prove me wrong!

marmalade - no, think 'street backwards', rather than 'the back of street'. Re 28, I don't know - if it is kennelmaid the clue just seems a bit lame to me compared with the other 99, and a friend who also regularly does these Rainbow quizzes agrees (she has also got the other 99).

marmalade - 36 is a cartoon cat, but more recent than Corky! There's an anagram of the whole name in the clue. 'The mail' refers to the newspaper the strip appears in.

Hi palman. Is the your answer to 28 the name of a cross breed please. Hope this is not giving too much away !

Thank you Hufflecat, I obviously don't see anagrams! So 17. was the father this West Country King? Is it a singer, a county or something completely different? And 97. Cats, many get noisier,so we're told. Help please.

marmalade.
17. Think first of the inhabitant of a county for the first word and then think of a king for the second.

Please can someone give me further clues to 32, 55, 71 and 71. My aged brain has been struggling with these clues without arriving at anything positive.

97 - 'many' in cryptic clues almost always refers to either C or M, so it's one of those and then the rest of the word sounds like a word that means noisier (but isn't a real word on its own). The whole is a collective noun for cats.

Not sure what clues have been given for these already, and can't be bothered to read through the whole thread again. So, these may or may not help!

32 - anagram of 'easily' minus the i, plus a type of meat.
55 - the musical should be obvious given the theme of the quiz, and the answer is a type of knot (hence 'hitch' in the clue).
71 - Google Argentina + Rugby
