Question of the day

[spkennyuk]

Is there an element of trick question here, with maybe Doyle being converted into doily?

No. No tricks to it at all. The only thing i would say is that when i write this type of question.if you have a two or more word answer for one of the clues then it might be only one of the words is the clue to the link.

I can tell you out of 6 teams in the quiz this week. Only one team got the link / connection. The other 5 teams kicked themselves.

They are the 5 clue answers and as Andy said its Hamish Macbeth. You have a couple of two word answers so to make it a bit easier.
1) Ray Doyle
2) Short
3) Mint
4) Hamish Macbeth
5) Smarty

The words in bold being the clue on the two word answers.

I will try and come up with another clue although that might prove difficult.

They all have two letter words in the answer, Do, Or, In, Am or Is, Ma?

Not that this is driving me mad or anything

Bit of a knotty problem then?

I did not know No.4 Hamish Macbeth and so held back.
The others I knew were the characters that made up the Diddy Men the invention of Ken Dodd.

He was once asked if Dodd was his real name, he replied 'no it's an anagram' and finally
he once said he could tell a joke in Liverpool and everyone would laugh but they would not in London.
Why not? was the interviewers response
Because they cannot hear it.

Assuming the above is correct here is my Q

In 1967 the term LGM - 1 was coined

I believe it was the discovery of the first pulsar. But they didn't know it was a pulsar, just a regular radio signal. So it was called Little Green Men....
