They've all been answered or revealed as far as I can see and the latest one (mine) was only posted this morning. :(

Here's a new one (reject) you can all chew over:-

What connects these four words?

Espresso
Immobiliser
Subpoena
Nutshell

Thought it was that they have three consecutive consonants, only subpoena doesn't. Maybe they all have three consecutive consonants unless they have a hidden Gothic writer? Geek

It looks like several different versions of this.
What exactly are the 4 answers and what was the reason?

• Richard Briers -- Briers = stem of a rose OR bramble(s)
• Felicity Kendal -- Kendal = Market town in Cumbria OR mint cake
• Penelope Keith -- Keith = Lead singer of the Prodigy Or my mate down the pub
• Paul Eddington -- Eddington = NW Cambridge

Herc is your last one to do with Julian Assange, l'Expresso etc...

Noticeable that Chappers, who started this thread with great enthusiasm is now also noticeable by his absence. Whistling nnocently

CLUE:-

I know this is going to sound contradictory but try not to look for a connection between them as such - more, look at the words.

Omg! Oil companies!

Rather than have outrageous claims of 'Got it in one' Surely this game should be played with one clue at a time and the next when asked for so that we can see at what juncture the penny drops. As such
First Clue
'No Relation to Kenny'

More on buzzer/ request

I was amazed to have even got it after a clue. I've never seen/played the actual game before. Some of these are so 'ard.
