26. "initials"

23. it is definitely RH, but which character?

@bennattod,

In an episode called Public Relations broadcast 29th April 1961. Robert Hardy must have appeared as a character called Farnon (e.g Siegfried Farnon All creatures great and small)

Cannot get Question 29 the French Prime Minister. Any clues appreciated!

29. See previous clue (and surname of former England soccer captain)

23. "Farnon" was certainly his most famous character.

APPLE has 2 vowels cube them = 8
APPLE has 3 consonents to the power of 4 = 81
subtract Consonents (81) from Vowels (8) = 73 pence

Can't make it work for COCONUT or GRAPEFRUIT unfortunately.

I still have eight (and a few unconfirmed) to go, and would appreciate a hint for #15 - I have found two pianists but cannot make a third out of my remaining letters -, 41 (unless the Serpentine divides two parts of what is basically the same park?) and 48, which I can't believe I haven't been able to find, it seems so straightforward.

@gardengnome,

#48 google the parts of the question using 'compiles' rather than 'compiler'
#15 - pm me with your remaining letters

@gumpy01,

Thank you for 48, gumpy01; why does a single letter make so much difference? I also thought of putting the name in inverted commas, which I hadn't done before; anyway, it came up straight away.

I think there must be more combinations for the virtuosi - that's if I'm right with pianists - but my remaining unlikely letters are ANCBLAZER.

@gardengnome,

Yes, they are unlikely. I tackled it by looking for a musician's surname containing an unusual letter - hint - it's included in your unlikely letter combination.

But not here

@gumpy01,

You're right, of course. Now I can't find any z at all except for Liszt who's too early. And at least four more piano names who could fit into the anagram. I'll start again tomorrow - haven't exhausted the trumpet, flute or clarinet yet, never mind the organ!

@Sylvan,

Q23 still doesn't give you the character name. is just the surname exceptable?
