I am waiting for Busby's vote to come in. He has just over 50 minutes in which to vote; however, If somebody was to tell me that Busby lives in a different time zone I would extend the deadline to allow him to contribute, if no-one objected.

Mattrom @13

Thanks, Busby.

Well, a very close competition this week resulting in a tie for first place between mattrom @ 13 and chiaroscuro @ 7 with three votes each. Interestingly, each candidate voted for the other.

paul @ 8 scored two votes whilst there was one each for greedy kite @ 4 and bigbadmarty2 @ 15.

It is down to me to select a winner. It is a very tough choice and I wish I could leave it as a tie. But we need a host for next week and so, by the narrowest of margins, I am awarding victory to chiaroscuro @ 7 with the topical effort:

Odds on one match will allow Andy to reach new heights? (9)

Congratulations, chiaroscuro; commiserations to you, mattrom, with a fine clue. Choosing between them was not easy.

Here is the prize for both of you to enjoy. This clip occurred at a time when certain words were not heard on mainstream television; at least, not very often. Angie Dickinson's reaction is priceless.

Congrats Chiaroscuro
