Anyone who can conjure up the obscure Jamming with Edward without the aid of wiki must have had a seriously mis-spent youth!! Welcome back Flay!
Mis-spent it was, but I confess I did use wiki
AL summary:
Eduardo e Cristina - an operatic 'dramma' in two acts by Rossini
Jamming with Edward! - recorded by three members of The Rolling Stones with Nicky Hopkins and Ry Cooder at London's Olympic Studio during the Let It Bleed sessions of 1969
Meyerbeer's Coronation March from Le Prophète presumably played at Edward VII's coronation (I cannot find confirmation of this). Mind you I'm surprised it is not used nowadays - not bad for an occasion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFKr39a5_F0
"Their Majesties, Royalty, Clergy, and other Distinguished Personages taking part in the Coronation are impersonated by accomplished actors and actresses, every detail as to costumes, robes, regalia, coronation chairs, chair of state, Abbey arrangements, etc., being as faithfully reproduced as possible, in order to convey the scene to the millions who are not privileged to witness the actual proceedings."
As a means of focusing on the solemnity of the occasion, the cast was chosen for their similarity to the actual figures they portrayed and not their degree of fame or talent. The man who enacted the part of the new King was, in real life, a washroom attendant.

Am I alone in thinking that the above was one of the most difficult and twisted AA conundra ever?
It took a man who's been locked into a malt whisky distillery for a week to crack it.
Thank the Lord you're back Flay! Nice knotting, Cloughie!
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
My chipping away has yielded nothing! I take it "lid" is a clue?

I love it, vindechampagne relentlessly pursuing his personal agendum ! I find the use of 'conundrum' amusing in any event, and crying out for comedy plurals.
As a matter of interest, if buying more than one octopus, vinrosé, what would you ask the fishmonger for?

The puzzle has Broadly speaking with a capital B - is there a cricket connection? Lifted the lid - saucepans have lids - the Olympic flame is in Wales - Sospan Fach?
