Well, what a bumper entry this week; thanks very much to you all for your contributions. Trying to decide on a winner has proved a very difficult task indeed because of the quality of your clues. I think ixion deserves a special mention for posting three clues that were amongst the potential winners, a real tour de force, There is one clue that I must mention: bigbadmarty’s

He put something sloppy on the turntable - Cliff, maybe?

The juxtaposition between Cliff Richard and Clarice Cliff is superb and really made me smile.

Oh, and mattrom’s

One with biscuit in the oven? (6)

also gave me a laugh.

The clue that I finally chose as this week’s winner is deceptively simple when you have the key but completely fooled me (twice) and I suspect quite a few of you also: fieryjack’s #11

Harry performed trick on Tom and Ted. (6)

Well done fiery jack, I hope you enjoy the prizes

This first clip is me being self-indulgent but I hope you enjoy it

If you don’t like Dennis Potter perhaps this will suit……

…..and if you don’t like Dennis Potter or snooker I think this will be up your street
