Exchanging blows 24 hours after holiday (6,3)

Afternoon all,

Well, what a superb host of jolly good efforts this week. I feel that because I found it much harder to judge this time that I should comment on my favourites (you must have been practicing somewhere, I wonder where?)
Pastille with her post 30, I bet he'll fill her stocking this year...?
Rambler appealing to my love of football with post 33.
AB's succinct perfection at post 21.
Bullfrog's excellent use of 'neat' (a favourite synonym of mine)at post 17
Rambler again with his superb extraction anagram at post 14
I have to make an apology to aristo because I can't quite parse the 'tokens & walkway' part of his clue. An explanation would be well received but I know I haven't got time to wait for it.

However, my favourite and the winner this week, which I had penciled in from the time it was posted is

ixion at POST 19 with his superb surface reading about an old favourite of mine from childhood - Zebedee... BOING!


And your prize this week is another fave of mine from past TV.

All the best for NEW YEAR everyone.

PS: If aristo's clue is deemed a worthy runner up, I will post another prize clip just for him if that's ok with others.

Congratulations to ixion and good phrase les. I also enjoyed rambler @ 14 & 15. Off to have a look at the prize now.

Congratulations, ixion.

Aren't computers amazing? I started to type "Con" and the above message appeared. :)

Congratulations ixion and thanks for the clip, Les - Dave Allen is sorely missed.

Time to hand over tokens in walkway span, following offense (6,3)

tokens: gifts
walkway: xing (This is used on American roadsigns for crossing, especially for pedestrians. The sign will either have a walking stick figure with XING below or will say PED XING. I did wonder whether you guys did the same, but thought that X for cross worked anyway.)
span: day
offense: B.O.

Congratulations, ixion.
