The Monty Python help(?) entailed a parrot.

Help?? H E L P ? ? *splutter, splutter*

Oh, and never mind Barlow jr. back on the wagon. I think "Leanne" is a brilliant actress!

[Norfolk Born]

I'm completely flummoxed, too.
Oh, and never mind Leanne - where's Schmeichel? Are there regulations governing the number of hours dogs can work on TV?

[Don Petter]

Soon be bedtime for me, at least.


At the risk of yet more dripping clues acting like water torture, I give you this:

The parrot was meant to help with thrice repeated terminology, the answer is a place.

[Pianorak]

Vladivostok. Rudolf Nureyev born on a train travelling to Vladivostok. But ex-ballet concocter?
Tchaikovsky born in Votkins.

[Anna]

The parrot was a Norwegian Blue. Therefore Le Train Bleu which equals the V & A Museum. Exhibition of. Or not, as the case may be.

[Don Petter]

Very quiet this morning, but I know that all your eyes are out there looking at me, unseen in the gloom apart from the occasional dim glow of a TV, circling, like Caliban, waiting to pounce ……. (Paranoid? Me?)


Piano and Anna are following the right nationality. The question would not have been possible before 1973.

[Pianorak]

Mornin' Don. Curioser and curioser. Anna off to Norway and the V&A - me still languishing in Russia. Any chance of perhaps rephrasing your question which I actually don't quite understand.

[BetweenTheStaves]

I'm leaning towards Vietnam. The Vietnam War ended in 1973. Twyla Tharp - ballet choreographer - did a lot of good deeds for Vietnam veterans...guess there must be a baller dancer also tied in with or maybe a PoW in the Vietnam War. Can't see the tie-in with Monty Python..

May I respectfully second Piaonrak's request?

We'll have to ask Stephen Hough who is a good friend of Betty Driver who is "Betty" and who will have the answer, no doubt! Have reported the owners of Schmeichel and Eccles to the RSPCA.

Here is a visual rephrasing (remember the 'as given'?), with an additional surrounding clue:

Do you think the answer to DP's question might be 'Veatherfield' by any chance?

[vinteuil]

remember the 'as given'?

well, I hope "as given" is not to be read as an anagram of "in Vegas"...

Shared cemetery? - Venice? I dunno....

What a relief (for me, anyway)! Well done vint! You are correct in both latter thoughts. Can you 'fill in' at least two of the occupants?
