      Not elegy, but think of where Grey's was and what would be there.

                Well done indeed, mercs. You seem to have the knack of tuning into Cloughie's wavelength!

                          Is this referring to a play by someone called Percy or a play involving a character called Percy or something else?

                            20th-Century Fox are to distribute upcoming Ridley Scott film based on Percy Bysse Shelley's 'Prometheus Unbound'. I can't find anything foxy in Act 3 Scene 1 of the play.

                              I freely admit it's a terrible clue

                              "Percy" is the eponymous "hero" of an opera

                              Percy = Percival = ******** ??
