Aha! 4 must be the oxymoronically named Coatbridge Sunnyside.
... easy for you to say ...  ... and wouldn't 8 be Ashchurch for Tewkesbury?
Good shout, stuving - I got as far as Charlotte Church (so to speak) on that one ...  |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

Correct! Aha! 4 must be the oxymoronically named Coatbridge Sunnyside.
Correct! Coat, (contract) bridge, Sonny (and Cher), side. ... and wouldn't 8 be Ashchurch for Tewkesbury?
Also correct. Ash (tree), (Charlotte) Church, Four, Chew, Kes, (Nick) Berry.  And I'll let giving two answers slide, as you are a relatively new forum member. But please note the request, in large type, bold and underlined in the OP▸ .  |

That is correct ellendune, although it was answered earlier in the day. Have another go. Those that remain unanswered are 6,7,9,12,13,15. |

Is 7. Barkingside (Ilford)?
I'm basing that on the noise a dog makes plus Illya Kuryakin and what I'm guessing is a Ford Escort, but I'm very aware that I'm prone to over-engineering my guesses so I'm probably way out.

Not even close! Have another go. Hint: It's another character played by David McCallum. |

Correct! (Bernie) Clifton, down. That took me a while to guess as I'd got the down bit, but was somehow trying to fit Rod Hull or Emu into it (!) |

To be honest I had understood that instruction as per each question of the set - until afterwards, when it struck me that I might be wrong. The wording of course is not unambiguous; but such is the deliquescent solidity of meaning in our language. No doubt I should have realised what was intended; I suspect I missed it because when I read it I was thinking "I won't have time to look at that...". |

Correct. Gloss, stir. I thought that was one of the hardest to guess as I was using a slang term for a prison. |
