I didn't make any further progress. I thought #4 might be ARABELLA (Richard Strauss), but I can't quite make it work.

........thanks imagcq anyway - I'm glad that your Clue Chain clues were easier!

Thanks imagcq but unsure of #1

1. Stopped, as in "signed-off"?
2. Anchorman
3. Optimum
4. Abnormal

Which would give Mandola's?

Prevented from making a full report (7)- Baffled? As in silencer?

Companion entertained by a French host (9) CH – Companion of honour + A Norman- a French = Anchorman? – host

Operatic heroine hides in a barrel, strange? (8) Norma- operatic heroine + a + Bl- barrel = Abnormal? – strange

Long shot Work it around, silence is golden (7)
Op - work ti – it around, Mum – silence = optimum – the best – golden?

This gives BDANOMAL for which I cannot make an anagram, so 3 must be wrong.

Having seen ab's reasoning could
1. Stifled?

Which would still give mandolas?

Hello folks Ginge your anagram is not correct however Ab's answers are !

I am going to let this ride a while and see if you can get the answer?

Only got 3 and 4, and the CH in anchorman wouldn't have occurred to me. Thought of stifled but it didn't seem quite right.

Evening chaps,

Just been looking at these letters and I can't find a single word anagram so is it two or more words.

How are you doing with this AB old man... Only kidding my friend

Is it Damon Alb.... Oh! it's such a blur
