and good for Harvey Keitel - but the moon reference was Harvey Moon

wasn't there an old TV series with a bloke called Harvey Moon set in East London?

Anyway - here's a more difficult one for you.

Mouse found in angel's heart - get my drift???

Humphrey Lyttleton presents "I'm sorry I haven't a clue" on Radio 4 on which they play the game "Mornington Crescent".

That's ok I am not surprised you don't know it, it has only been running since 1972.

Must be the wonderful Mickey Rourke who was in Angel Heart

You could go to BBC website and go to "Listen Again" and should be able to download and listen to "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue" on your computer. Humphreys "intros and outros" are really funny and often quite rude

Try this - this is a clue which has 2 actors in it

Not Tony but a young girl posesses a neck ache while old Swedish chap tries to sort her out - he used to be in Ingrid's Dad's work.

Alfred Hitchcock....

Well done with Mickey Rourke - great film that one....

Jeremy Irons

That was a sexist clue but who cares - it was funny

What are you doing up at 10:15 gmt?

Is that a clue??? If so it's a little cryptic.
I was thinking - A brilliant Mind - maybe
