    The answers came in thick and fast at the end - I'm not sure who gets to set X (or Y or Z, or even A). Perhaps those who contributed might like to confer and come up with a deserving candidate.

      Adaptations of works by H G Wells:
      Ralph Richardson and Raymond Massey in 'The Shape of Things to Come', adapted from 'Things To Come'; Tommy Steele in 'Half A Sixpence', adapted from 'Kipps'; and Richard Burton in 'War Of The Worlds', adapted from the short novel of the same name.
      Nice puzzle, Ofcachap, even though my wheelchair idea didn't have .... legs

        No no no - not private messages. I think they mean that public postings on the forum (aka public messages) are visible. Private messages can't be... PLEASE do tell Ams, in the matter of Stage Hands -v-Tommy Steele. Presumably it has to do with downpours containing bodily fluids...

        On topic: I thought that "W" was an absolute classic

        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

            Happily, I don't think this is the case with our private messages, To whit, I have just tried googling the phrase "the living embodiment of Malvolio" and there are no matches (at least not in cyberspace)

                  Right, no siesta for me today so I can feel my eyelids drooping (to match the rest of me)

                  Have a good night y'all & I hope to find you all refreshed and fully vital on the morrow.

                  And, as a newcomer, may I thank you all for clutching me so warmly to your collective buzooms

                      I have missed the pranks and you have all gone to bed?
                      I have at last another four hours of wakefulness. Maybe I shall do a crossword.

                      Good night all. Sleep tight. Pleasant dreams. Thighs ands bodily fluids ?

                        You won't believe this, but I actually have that War of The Worlds dvd!

                        First part of the live dvd, and by my the best song: War of the worlds (also know as Eve of the war)
