Cricket's gone dull, temperature's dropped so I have to close the patio door, so I'm going to make a pot of tea & settle down to epi 9 (at least) of The Bridge

See you in a while

[Anna]

sorry folks, I have to go out

It's OK mercs, we'll wait for you to return!!
I have to admit, I'd never heard of Shelly Manne and was looking for classical crossover ..... Cloughie, how was your torch experience? Lots of spectators, enjoyable?

[cloughie]

Shelly Manne ?

Mia Farrow ?

Both

[cloughie]

Both

The third clue referred to another link to Previn, but you've got it in the right order!

You really do need to do both Eps back to back!

Anna - have you Bridged yet? Norfy?

Not as yet, to be honest I'm so tired today I don't think I've the energy to concentrate and I do want to do both episodes in one go. If I perk up I may watch later this evening. In fact, I'm so tired that cooking has been put on hold and I'm just going to have ......... cheese omelette & salad! Your review of Prince Albert was a bit half-hearted, was the food good or was it just a drinks party?

Looks like merc is head of the Q.

[vinteuil]

a smart cookie's = Ernie Wise's

... sorry - wherefore "cookie" and "Ernie"? don't get it

[cloughie]

... sorry - wherefore "cookie" and "Ernie"? don't get it

A smart cookie could be referred to as a wise-guy! Morecambe as a mate of Wise would surely qualify!

Vints, we know you don't do popular culture but I think cloughie is alluding to the sketch on the Morecombe & Wise show when Andre Previn appeared and he conducted and Eric played the piano. I am not sure if this was his only appearance on the M&W show?

[Norfolk Born]

No - he appeared briefly in a later show as a London bus conductor, saying something along the lines of 'Yes! Look what Morecambe and Wise did for my career'!

Am I dumbing down the AA?

Hang on I don't go on about soap plots.

In my defence, it was some big boys that did it!! Yes, I never watched Coronation Street until Norfy and Caliban were going on about Colin Fishwick and I just had a peep at the programme .... to see what they found so interesting ....... and that was my downfall Your Honour!
