    I'll proceed if that's OK:

    A beautiful legal mind who thought Peter stank, but who wasn't (contrary to legend) a song-thief. Which H?

        'It's quiet tonight, Carruthers, very quiet ... too quiet'. By an extraordinary coincidence, just as I typed those words, a chap on Radio 3 uttered the words: 'I wish I knew the answer to that question'. (Honestly).

                    Like Anna no doubt, I was glad to see the double bullet on Apprentice last night, esp the ludicrous man with the weaselly moustache. I thought the quieter northern lass deserved a second chance though...

                    PS I have been puzzling quietly over the current "H" but no way in so far...

                          Looks good, mercia but I'm sure that rubbers will want to see your workings (as it were )

                          EDIT: Oh here's rubbers to confirm - maybe he can explain all to those of us who are biographically challenged

                            No, I'm more than satisfied. Does anyone need an explanation? I think the Wikipedia entry explains everything, including the Beckmesser reference.

                                Mercia, I'm keen to learn at the feet of a master: how did you hack your way into that? What was your first step from clue to answer?? Deft use of google?
