OH, OK then! An 'O' coming up shortly.

[Norfolk Born]

Musically, which 'O' links three actors who, in chronological order:
played a famous fictional schoomaster; played an early occupant of a Newtown patrol car; and has often played, and stills plays, a writer who is currently very much in the news. The second and third actors are still with us.

Have we ever had 14 hours' silence before?

It's strange, I wonder if there was a server problem last night - I looked a few times during the evening, not sure what time but it was after the rugby was cancelled so after you posted that N question - there was nothing visible... Glad things are chugging along well again this morning!

Ah, to be sure, 'tis the luck of the Irish (to get out of Paris without defeat of course!) Not solving the puzzle!

a famous fictional schoomaster

would that be Mr Chipping of Brookfield ?

[Norfolk Born]

It would indeed.

That'll be the third Shredded Wheat!

O, are you really being very clever with an O like O'Toole and O'Keefe? Oh, that is very good!!

Off now, rugby calls and early lunch

Newtown

the setting I believe of Z-Cars, of the catchy folksong theme tune
EDIT - looks like Anna is well ahead of me

[Norfolk Born]

No, Anna's way off-beam, I'm afraid. And please note the chronology of the clues, which rules out Mr O'Toole. Z-Cars is definitely a step in the right direction.

[Anna]

No, Anna's way off-beam

Thank goodness for that I can now settle down to rugby and leave the real world behind!

I've got that far but can't find the O' for Z cars

1 I believe is O'Toole
3 Possibly O'Rourke

Ok - it wasn't there when I wrote it!
