I haven't heard of Mongrels. Twenty Twelve?

Seriously? You are guessing a series with 13 episodes?

Clue 2: it is set in the north of England.

Posted: **01:15 Mon 02 Dec 2013**

This is what has been holding me up. Apart from other traffic on

cross checking six episodes, two series takes it out of me. Now I've got to add north of England into the search. The next is a guess and a whistful longing;

Happiness?

No.

Clue 3: There is a connection to the Royal Family.

It had two series. One of the 13 was a pilot.

Posted: **01:20 Mon 02 Dec 2013**

I have absolutely no idea.

29.45?

Posted: **01:22 Mon 02 Dec 2013**

The only set used is named after something connected with port (and wine).

From Gary Barlow to Howard Donald (who?).

Citizen Khan?

Citizen Khan has 13 episodes you numbskull.
I am beginning to disbelieve Derek's assertion that the BBC commonly make comedies of 2 series and 12 episodes in total. Tell us the other examples.

Posted: **01:30 Mon 02 Dec 2013**

The first was a pilot. Now that's having your cake and eating it.

Butterflies? (I bet it is, even though he'll never own up to it)

Posted: **01:36 Mon 02 Dec 2013**

Heartburn Hotel.

I have never heard of most of the dire things on that list.

Butterflies ran for years didn't it? I remember it clearly.

Posted: **01:36 Mon 02 Dec 2013**

Pilot episodes and Christmas specials don't count. Fawlty Towers, The Young Ones, The Office.

TCA and industrial alcohol? Oh and grapes. Is it a spin-off from Last of the Summer Wine? Oop North wi' Foggy?

"Grapes" is included in the name of the only set used in the entire series.

No.

C'mon, you know it's your favourite.

Posted: **01:44 Mon 02 Dec 2013**

So it's set in a pub. There's a pub in Farringdon called the Hoop and Grapes which always causes great mirth to my Northern Irish friends, as the two words have different meanings here.

In a "The Nut and Ring" sort of way?

Posted: **01:46 Mon 02 Dec 2013**

Batchelor father? I mean whoever heard of it, but there it is on the list. Batchelor Father.

Piles of nuts arranged inside a ring? I know what you mean

I was going hemorrhoids for nuts.

Posted: **01:49 Mon 02 Dec 2013**

Yes yes. Anyway it's Early Doors. That was quite good. I never saw more than a few though. Hence being unable to remember it.

Posted: **01:50 Mon 02 Dec 2013**

What was the Royal Family connection?

Posted: **01:50 Mon 02 Dec 2013**

My question will be amazing and I will come up with it while I sleep. Good night gentlemen. May you sleep soundly.

Craig Cash.

Iron bar falls on head.
Sorry. Good clue. Bit slow tonight.

Posted: **01:53 Mon 02 Dec 2013**

Over and out.

Posted: **01:59 Mon 02 Dec 2013**

Goodnight Mary-Ellen.

Posted: **14:35 Mon 02 Dec 2013**

Easy one. Where am I going now?

Posted: **16:36 Mon 02 Dec 2013**

To a late lunch?

No. Clues follow once sufficient earnest guesses submitted.

Amarillo?

Posted: **17:21 Mon 02 Dec 2013**

Are you going to San Francisco?

If so be sure to wear some flowers in your hair. (trust me this will look good).

Posted: **17:25 Mon 02 Dec 2013**

Not Amarillo.
Nor San Francisco, though thanks for the style tip.
This is sort of work-related. But it isn't actually 'work'. And it isn't 'work' in the sense of the day-to-day work that pays for most of my port chits.

Hanging out on street corners?

No.

Posted: **19:17 Mon 02 Dec 2013**

So a clue is in order. You might see me tonight.

Posted: **19:34 Mon 02 Dec 2013**

Daniel on the telly? Do tell I'm so easily star struck.

Well you'll only see me if there's crowd shots. Although I did do a piece for local tv about this. Anyway it's on channel 4 now. I can't really go much further than this. Since it's Owen's turn I presume it's his question.

Posted: **20:13 Mon 02 Dec 2013**

Derek! Have you got a question? Otherwise I shall have to go out to the shed to whittle a fresh one.

Posted: **20:32 Mon 02 Dec 2013**

Whittle away. I'm about to get in the car for three hours.

Posted: **22:29 Mon 02 Dec 2013**

I have whittled and smoothed down the edges as best I can and here it is.

I have a fondness, but not the finances for oriental rugs. I have bought one which was sold to me not as a rug but as something else.
What was it sold to me as being and where was it from? I shall spare you the job of identifying the pattern and the approximate date.
