        Nobody's forgotten this, have they? You do remember me?

        (Look; I can't give any other clue without attracting the attentions of the Robots! )

            I think we're after somebody's lament and being laid in earth etc. aren't we?

            or has that already been mentioned ?

                Oh thanks for the reminder!

                Shall watch it and cogitate upon your puzzle simultaneously, having at last arrived back on my sofa with a cup of tea.

                I enjoyed his Kent apples and ale and oysters programme last week

                  Is it an uncooked relative of Dai Bread?

                    I assume it's Dido, isn't it...

                    Leading on from Les Troyens in which Dido (or Didon) is a character... Dido's dying lament 'Remember me' (Purcell's Dido & Aeneas') is the 'unforgettable ' last song, and there is a popular vocal artist called Dido is there not? Not sure without wiki'ing why she might flap...

                        Reminds me of an Edinburgh Festival gag from a few years ago:

                        First the Dodo died, then Di died, then Dodi died...Dido must be sh1tting herself.

                        As you were...

                            Caliban,

                            Who knows? I just sort of fell off inexplicably. Rather like a retrograde Timothy Leary, I dropped out, then tuned in. I look forward to the turn on. Glad to be back!!

                                Yes indeed, but it has me in a flippin' flap too! That bit I can't get.

                                Shall I move on and claim the E?
