Thank you for your vote, pastille- you are not late and well within the time limit. You have saved me the unenviable task of casting a deciding vote. The clear winner with four votes is Lionheart with his deceptively simple and clever clue. Congratulations- after evacuation comes Deliverance- hope you enjoy your prize.

Well done Lionheart.

Loved the duelling banjos clip, BUT... A BIG BUT...still find, even the thought of the film a bit disturbing...

...but then I am a whimp!

Thankyou kindly folks! It's always nice when an anagram falls right in your lap ;)
Enjoyed the prize too...I've not seen the film but it complimented the drum battle prize in clueless last week!
I look forward to setting next week's word :)

Many thanks to ixion and FRANCIS for the votes. I had a sort of Spoonerism which never quite worked to do with "Fits and starts...."

Well done Lionheart
Sorry I didn't have time to get involved this week.
Loved the clip, it's one of my favourite films.
I read some interesting facts about the film a few years ago and a couple still stick with me which I would like to share.
Firstly, the state trooper sheriff that speaks to them near the end of the film is played by James Dickey who was the original author of the novel (cameo appearance)
Secondly. the young blonde haired kid who appears at the end for a short clip is Charley Boorman who did "The long way round" and "The long way down" with Ewen McGregor.
Charley Boorman is the son of John Boorman who directed the movie "Deliverence"

Congrats, Lionheart. FRANCIS: As I interpret it, En is evacuation evacuated.
