The baton goes to you NPQ

Thanks John. Think we need to get away from Queen now

Which band started out as Shrug, before changing their name to Polar Bear?

Hmm... didn't a shortened instrumental form crop up on Queen I?

Quick off the mark John - would you be a Queen fan by ay chance?

Good to get things moving again anyway - over to you.

Thanks NPQ. Lots of 70s stuff on TV at the moment, so...

Which UK Top 10 hit from the 70s features a refrain of "Oh I Do Like To Be Beside the Seaside" on its fade out?

In that case, Dave Edmunds springs to mind - I get "Queen Of Hearts" but don't recall a "king" hit. Then again, I know you go down to the Top 75 (or is it Top 100), so it will probably have passed my by.

Ken - I knew I could rely on you

...and the answer's correct as well, of course, so over to you.

Well I still use it. Am I the only one?

Just to (I hope) get things rolling again then...

During the recent flooding, there were many meetings of the COBRA committee. Why is it called COBRA?

OK I give in...

O! That was very close! (5, 6) = Photo finish

The "topicality" clues referred to the Cheltenham & Aintree festivals.

Someody else can have a go now, if anybody's there!

Is there anybody there?

Just so happens that this clue has been waiting so long that it's become topical again! So refer back to the original clue.
