Wow. Quite a few great clues; no wonder so many of them got votes. The three two-vote-getters are all excellent, but I’m giving the edge to ginge @23 with:

Silly me backing odds-on a goalless game! (4)

Very nice surface read. Here’s your prize. Scroll down a bit for the video.

Almost as remarkable as this little error is the use of the word “mansion” for what looks like an oversized refrigerator crate, especially considering that there are many hundreds of actual mansions in the immediate vicinity, most of whose owners called them cottages.

Thanks to all. See you next week.

With the votes so widely spread it shows there was no stand out clue but lots of very good offerings and thanks for your deciding vote and hosting aristo (re the first clip; pretty sure on discovery it was a lot stronger than oops, but possibly still 4 letters!). Thanks for your votes rossim, fiery and syzygy (I preferred that clue). Cheers for the mention busby it's good to see you back more regularly and hope your injury doesn't stop you getting to the fridge!
