Edit: misread your clue, so disregard above.

Absolute Zero for the first one.
The current clue requires a little more thought.
Oops! Forgot about this!

I don't think it's been a problem getting the answer, more likely what to do with the next clue, and to be honest, working back trying to figure out the last one! :laugh:
Anyway:

I was thinking the Summer Bay was a Home and Away reference. But thankfully I don't know enough to take it further unless the answer is somehow Alf Stewart.
Home and Away is where I'm looking for an answer too. Original characters would include Morag, Pippa, Bobby, Ailsa. I can't find anything to link any of those names to the Clyde though.
Great Scott's fat ladies? (6-5)
Edit - answer changed cos apparently I imagined those nicknames.
Oops!
Sorry folks, completely forgot I'd posted a clue here, appalling form, can only apologise! :shock:

The answer's already been mentioned above though.
PI, you should get that google doodad on the interweb. :tongue:Quote:

No idea. Ailsa would also fit. I assumed that there was a love interest called Clyde for Pippa at some stage and that Stann was bring very very rude.
I withdraw my answer and activity in this thread until its answered.
Ah. You appear to have watched the show. I just figured Scott was a name (and a River Clyde reference obviously) and googled it to see if he was in the show. Given that it was Jason Donovan's character, I figured that was high profile enough to be the answer. Not exactly scientific! Then stann's revelation that A was the last letter completely threw me.
So yeah, let's just wait for confirmation from stann.
Stu, Scott was in Neighbours, the other Aussie soap based in Ramsey Street, not Home & Away based in Summer Bay. You lack of knowledge of such matters worries me. What kind of student were you?
******! Well, that's me out.
I was a Countdown student. No time for this soap milarkey.
I think that makes us mortal enemies or something.
I read the Wiki article on the poxy river Clyde and still didn't see anything that would fit (well by read I mean opened and had a quick look).Quote:

Anyway, I'll get me coat.
I see. So we're on Ailsa? Are you trying to turn this into a competition to get the most awkward answer to form the next clue with? :p
Ha, looks that way! Nah genuinely that was the first thing that came into my head when the River Clyde answer came up. And no doubt purely from watching the Opens at Troon and Turnberry over the years. That probably should be alarming on some level or other.
So I somehow got this clue right by completely going off-the-wall and still ended up wrong!
Stann, how I loathe thee!
Anyway...
Ailsa as a woman wouldn't be considered hot but this bird was definitely flaming! (5)
Well, that's another fine mess you've gotten us into, Stann-ley :DQuote:

Can you post your guesses, and if it's one of them hopefully I'll remember it!
I reckon it's underground.
