Hi scuby911

Have given it some thought and I have come up with "hijacks"

Hi = for greeting
Jacks = for cards
Hijack = take control

Does above fit in with your puzzle. Perhaps someone else can confirm my suggestion.

Regards Dutchy

Hi scuby911

Obviously your Cryptic is ahead of ours as I can't recall seeing this question recently.

I would think "clue" is the correct answer.
"cue" for actor's prompt, and "l" for circled pound sign.

Hope this helps.

Hi Scuby911, also look at an earlier post 'Jan Colossus - Stinker'. It contains very useful inputs from Butterfly, Dutchy and Imur on Cryptic 169. Cheers
