Alphabet associations - I

[Nick Armstrong]

Oh. Well you know full well that I am not a Wodehouse fan, but was this casting bad or the adaptation or has it, hate to use the expression, been dumbed down for cheap laughs?

Certainly casting and adaptation, for starters.

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

You missed nothing, I switched off - it's embarrassingly bad.

Ditto chez Ferney. Turning Wodehouse's foxtrotting prose into screen images was alwys going to be difficult, but to give up before the first hurdle and turn it into some sub-Viz slapstick - unforgivable!

Oh well, ferney and Cali, I will not search it out on iplayer. Shame. Although, if it's that bad and like Viz, I very well might! Have they turned it into some Tom Sharpe thingy?
Edit: Having sorted the Naan bread, I am off now.

Having ordered a new pump for the Bissell, I am now primed and ready for you all to seek a Q for me.

This versatile Q had a Voice in spite of disability, he believed with Penderecki, jazzed it up, then stopped.

I must agree with Mine Host and with ferney. I have long been a great fan of PGW, but that travesty was a disgrace. I stuck it for about ten minutes. I wonder whether anyone involved with that alleged "adaptation" has ever read any of the Blandings books. Lord Emsworth and Beach have been seriously miscast, and I'm not convinced about Freddie and Connie either.

Oh dear. I am far from being gruntled - in fact, I am actually disgruntled.

(Naan bread, Anna? Were you having curry?)

Have you tottered onto the wrong thread, Beefy?

Either that, or it's a VERY cryptic stab at Flay's Q...

On second thoughts it could refer to the "jazzed it up and then stopped" part of the puzzle, I suppose....

Is it not Mr Quasthoff? A thalidomide victim, he did some jazz recordings near the end of his career, and now teaches... Not sure about the Pender connection: presumably had a work written for him?

Well done, Mein Host! He gave up singing a year ago. As it's late shall I tell you the Penderecki connnection? He performed at the world premiere of Credo (believed )

Roll it on please...

[Flay]

I should have said "first believed" to make it less unclear. I'm still an amateur at this...

An R ladies and gentlemen to connect Thomas, Agatha and Francis Scott.

[Flay]

?..and Francis Scott.

Is this in a certain Key?

A wild guess - Roaring Twenties?

Is this in a certain Key?

...or is it his second cousin?

Thomas Edison, Agathie Christie and F Scott Fitzgerald were all dyslexic - R eading difficulties?
