FIRST TOSCADIES, NOW CARMENCROAKS

There was a PHENOMENAL response to the Toscadies competition: FORTY-FIVE entries -- although, to be fair, several of you did make mega-multiple submissions!

While Jonathan and Akiko are judging the competition and selecting the winners, here - purely for your amusement - are those entries.

They are a mix of films, plays and books along with a couple of TV shows. Some are more than a little obscure, others are ambiguous (in that they could ruin more than one film or show!) and if some seem similar to others, that's because they are Tosca-dying the same creative work!

I'll post the answers when you've had a chance to test your wits - and patience!

Thanks folks for the Rosebud thing! I always did wonder about that (especially after the Peanuts comic strip), but never actually got round to watching the film!

Sorry B - didn't realise just how many I'd bombarded you with!
Nice to see that David has gone 'A' listers on the culture scale.
