Alphabet associations - I

[Don Petter]

My convenience is a little cramped, so I'll set it here, please:

A character from Star Trek,
a habitual TV Art Critic,
A writer of children's book and Vanessa Redgrave's one time understudy
... all have what S in common?

Not someone with funny ears (and didn't the Doc write about children)?

[antongould]

we seem to have headed for the coast I was thinking more the land of Wednesday and United

[Anna]

Well, I am stuck. The only 3 characters with an S in Star Trek are Spock, Scotty and Sulu, I think. The only tv art critic I can think of was parallel with mercia's. Where has anton got Sheffield from? Are the clues musical? Anyone got a clue?

[Don Petter]

Well, I've already suggested Mr Spock, and Dr Spock (who wrote 'Baby and Child Care') in #9332, but there has been no reaction ...

I got Sheffield from Lady Drabble and Patrick Stewart of Star Trek (and other) fame is also from the Steel City

But Patrick Stewart isn't 'a character from Star Trek', as in the question? I'm as stumped as Anna.

[Anna]

And the habitual tv art critic? There aren't many of them are there? Or, didn't there used to be a Nun I think? (habit?)

You may have cracked it. Sister Wendy, as I recall? Are we looking for three sisters?

[Anna]

Well Don, I don't know and I'm certainly not a Trekkie so I wouldn't know if Spock had a sister, or three! I must go now anyway, leave the rest of you to ponder on it ....

good point well made

Brian Sewell, critical of most things

Now think of a Dartmoor story.

Thanks , Mercia, you should take the rest of it.

I must be missing something there. Just an oblique reference to Patrick Stewart, whom I though we had discounted as not being a character?

Ah! I see, Sewell. So does this mean that Brian Sewell dresses up as a nun?

But now, with Rufus Sewell, we've lost Star Trek altogether, so I'm repuzzled.

[mercia]

oh yes, so we did

[Anna]

But, ferney did say to follow Margaret Drabble didn't he?
