Oh well, only tv drama lately is re Matt Busby re footie -
Busby was not a main character - one was, of course, a Welshman, and the other a Geordie - which would you choose?Comment

As well as Marry - there should be "set an AA question in haste repent at leisure" - the third element should read something like someone who has written 8 operas and music to accompany 2 Willie the Shake pieces!

The only link between football, R and united and 1966 I can think of is Ramsey... Alf Ramsey in 66 and Aaron Ramsey who plays central for United nowadays... But I can't make that fit with operas, Shakespeare or 19th century letters...

I think we have established, sort of, that the footballer is a Geordie a central character of last night's IMHO superb United on BBC2 who was one of Ramsey's stars of 66........Comment

Sadly that's where I stop talking... I have no idea about letters or operas. Have to leave the hallowed forum for a while now. Hope someone picks out the pass and dribbles it into the net...."...the isle is full of noises,

.....and has 18 letters if I counted correctly!!!!
To save me any further embarrassment the 3rd Bob is Robert Xavier Rodriguez who has written incidental music for Midsummers Night Dream and the Tempest. The shame - you will probably not see me until 3 Rs from now!Comment

of course!!!
Not at all, anton - apart from the slip in element 3 (and we've all made a slip or two), it was a good and foxing question. I think it's bank holiday brains (certainly in my case) that account for the tricky solution process, plus the absence of some luminaries. I think rubbers has probably heard of Robert Rodriguez (actually, now you mention him, so have I... vaguely...) and could well have swept in (sorry, I should say popped up) to give the answer...
I have to be absent now. Personally I think it should be between vinteuil and Anna for an "S"..."...the isle is full of noises,
