JUst cant get started today (usually takes about half an hour to complete) Dont know whether its because I am also watching the test match, or whether they have changed the compiler (perhaps hes from the DAily Mail!!) So can someone help please to get me started

Race for high churchman (14)
Beat hunky celebrity (5-5) ???R?/?????
Relatively close group in wartime TV drama (4,2,8)

Thanks
Philip

2nd. Heart throb.
3rd. band of brothers.

Not sure of 1st. Steeplechase only has 12 letters.

Thanks Terry
I had looked at Steeplechase but it does have 14 letters. I now have ?T???L???????? so I suspect we are on the right lines. Could it be STEEPLECHASER which I think is more of a description of a horse and a steeple jack!

Forget that last post STEEPLECHASER only has 13 letters

It would have to be steeplechasers to have 14 letters. Steeplechasing would also fit. If one of these is the answer it seems very clumsy.

Thanks Terry

Just done one of the others which starts with G and is the last letter, so it must be STEEPLECHASING.
Suspect he is from the MAIL

I agree with Philip that this weeks RT is a bit more obtuse than we are used to.
I am stuck on
Author from the city ?E?L?
Thought it might be WELLS but cant see the connection to city. Perhaps theres a Daily Mail reader out there who is used to these clues who could help

Wells in Somerset is the smallest city in the UK. GIYF!

Thanks John
I guess I owe the Mail an apology but it does get some stick in this forum, doesn't it
Good night

Correction (Google is My Friend too). Actually St Davids is the smallest city in the UK and Wells only holds the record for England.
