I've loved reading all your clues but I'm not allowed a vote so I won't comment yet.

NB Last week there were 40 clues from 19 setters!

I hate when this happens. With all votes in, Spike @24, SteveA @13 and Aristo @26 have 1 vote each. SteveA also gained 2 votes for his @12, as did ChrisE @2. Geevo @6 has 3 votes while tied, with 4 votes each, are Spike @22 and Mattrom @31, both worthy contenders.

After consideration, I am awarding this week's prize to Spike @22 as I enjoyed the surface read of a set of directions:

To proceed, turn right initially, leading into avenue, then left at the end

Congratulations. Here are your travel-related prizes:

The first is a video by Peter Brewis, of Field Music fame, and Sarah Hayes, who has played keyboards, woodwind etc. with that band and is also a member of Admiral Fallow. IMHO they have produced a lovely little (just over 35 minutes) album under the name "You Tell Me". (I spoke to Peter before a gig last year, and he did admit it doesn't take long for the joke to wear thin). Anyway, here they are, the pair playing all the instruments on the track (except for the string quartet, which Peter arranged) and with various unconvincing guises for Mr Brewis along the way.

The second clip is a short film that was shown in cinemas before Month Python's Life of Brian, along with a Terry Gilliam cartoon about a cockroach, as far as I can remember. We had to go to the Rio (or "R-ten" as we called it) in Bearsden as Glasgow City Council had deemed the main feature blasphemous and prohibited its showing. If I hadn't realised who was doing the voiceover, I might have (at least initially) believed this was a genuine travelogue:

Hope you enjoy. Best wishes, all.
