I think I've lost the plot, which episode of The Champions would that be?

This one.

Maybe obscure clues aren't the order of the day. Now that one is clear as day to the bloke who thought it up

If you go along "Old "Elevator Company" Road" it should get you to the answer

I've woken up, the viewpoint is Old Redding looking out over London and the building must therefore be The Grimsdyke Hotel? But I don't recognise the picture. Spooky how similar the pillar is to the one at Greyleigh!! I feel an investigatory drive coming on!

Lovely place for a drive out on a beautiful day like today, A red C5 in front of those gates, or surveying the beautiful viewpoint....and only four miles from Watford

The other bit of the question should flow now Mick!

Forgot about that - this should take care of that:

Well done Mick what was the Penny-drop Moment? Was it my obscure clue?

Regards Neil

[mickthemaverick]

No sorry, I was typing the answer when you put the clue up. I was studying the viewpoint and working my way round Watford in my head when I realised where it was. A pretty busy lover's lane sight as we used to call them. Back in the 60's my mate Phil and I would go to The Case is Altered just down the road and find some members of the fairer sex on a Saturday lunchtime and invite them to a picnic at the viewing point. Never very successful but we had some fun!!
Your clue would definitely have got me there had I needed it, well once I'd dispensed with Old Otis of course!

[mickthemaverick]

That has just rung a bell, who would have thought Otis Redding was named after a couple of old lifts!!

[NewcastleFalcon]

This is probably one of the Citroen H Van's greatest appearances in Movies/TV. So very findoutable.

So how about who are the two main "stars" in this screenshot as not too taxing a quest.

Good effort Mick, but you may have to do a bit of research. Assistance given if necessary but I think the tools are there to make it not that difficult but then again I know the answer!

[mickthemaverick]

Research one How could I have been so far off target? because it looked like them I guess But I now have reason to believe you are looking for

Spoiler: show

Tony Curtiss and Joan Collins?

[NewcastleFalcon]

That's them Mick. How did I not know about that before today, Hollywood A-listers driving an HVAN from Italy to France, I take it you nailed the precise episode....like most of such stuff its on Daily Motion in Full.

Regards Neil

[mickthemaverick]

I've never actually been on Daily Motion. When I charged DDG with the Registration number it sent me straight here It was then the scrolling game until I found myself just 5 miles from midnight!!

On another point did you pick up on my observation about Otis Redding?

[NewcastleFalcon]

That has just rung a bell, who would have thought Otis Redding was named after a couple of old lifts!!

WellI deliberately put the clue to the name Otis there for the word association to lead you to Old Redding Road. But a couple of old lifts? no unless "Redding" is some brand of lift machinery?

I probably need leading by the hand on that one Mick!
