Quote: Stephen Goodlad @ 14th May 2019, 12:26 PMWhat do these 4 pictures have in common (this is clue 1, 2 pictures, not clue 1&2)
Ah, I thought perhaps it was clues 1 and 2.
I was going to suggest songs sung by Morrissey: "Panic" and "Every day is like Sunday/sundae". 
If the 2 pictures represent only the 1st clue, I'll have to give it some more thought.

Soothing places to put cream ? Knickerboker glory.
Clue 2 for 3 points

That one on the right is a hay wrap. 
In all the clues, the 2 pictures have a connection.
And the connections are the same for all clues.
Quote: Stephen Goodlad @ 14th May 2019, 7:33 PMIn all the clues, the 2 pictures have a connection.

So we are looking for a common connection between the 2 pictures in each clue?
And we are NOT looking for a connection between the 4 double clues?
The connection is the same for each clue
That is, each 2 picture clue has a definite connection to each other.
This method has definitely been used on the show so it's not some far out idea of mine.
Next clue in the morning before I go out to earn some pennies.
They get easier.
I didn't get where I am today by solving easy clues.
The connection is that the condition depicted/suggested in the 1st picture may be cured/treated by the thing depicted/suggested in the 2nd picture.
In short, Picture 2 is intended to bring to mind a treatment for Picture 1.
1) scream - cream
2) boil - bail
They differ by one letter ?
Nice try but no coconut.

There are two tries: are you saying that both Firkin's and my own are wrong?
Sorry Rood, yes both are wrong.
I would put the third on but I'm on my tablet and the pics I paint-shopped are on my pc.
The connection between each 2 pictures has a real word for it. ???

Er, Mr Pedant here. As there is no gain in a point system with this BCG one, we can assume you are basing it theoretically on the original Only Connect and therefore it is 5 points if you get it right with only one clue, as Firkin did with my music connection. 
Just sayin'....................carry on. 
Connemara the - II
Scooby Doo the - IV
The Bog Eyed - X
Noggin the - XiV
No, I still don't feel that I have got this quite right.
