Okay, the four clues to my puzzle were:

1. Rosemary's Baby.

2. The Blair Witch Project.

3. Rebecca.

4. Harvey.

Solution: films in which the title character is never seen.

Harvey was seen. I saw him.

This is going well. :D

You and Jimmy Stewart both! Laughing out loud

LUMME! (you have to be ancient to know that word and have read lots of 1950s Dandy or Beano) - https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/lumme

Thanks for that Rood. I was v. tired last night and words lose their meaning. HAVING SAID THAT....................I'll come onto the Space Cadet who set this one the in the first place.

OK, we're not taking this serious of course, which is fine and I was viewing it with OC eyes, and believe me this wouldn't have got a second glance with the Only Connect editors as for 1/. If you know the programme, ALL Connections consist of FOUR only, and 2/. If you are doing associated words as in this case, they at least need to conform to some sort of pattern and the only one I can NOW see is they all start with L&M - WEAK ,and from the mind of an alien. :D

Put Horse back in his box :P and let's have the next one please Rood - I've exhausted my film knowledge. How you get from an apartment in New York to a country estate in SW England for two and three is beyond me - the two films could not be further apart.

Who is the essay writer now?

Misery puss. :P

:O You cheeky monkey! I write a few paras, which is no match for your long diatribes. :P

Ask Chappers, he'll soon put you right! :D

Oh really. Well irrespective of what anyone has said about the subject (inc. Polanski) the buzz for people going to see the film in the 60s was "and when you see the baby's face it has cat's eyes" so that stands as far as I'm concerned, and RP f**ked up what he intended/meant.

I think you're right about that.

The appearance of the evil face is wide open to the interpretation you suggest.

1. Henry, 2002
2. Hazard, 2018
3. Cantona, 1992

There is only one answer.

(on another point, has anyone else got to upload a new picture before May ends or is it just because I am a monkey?) Teary

Three premiership footballers including two legends. Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United. Are they all French speaking Premier players ? Or did they put together the world's worst poetry book called "Pa !!" ? Or is it some sort of record they broke ? They're all in attack, so most goals ?

I mean...is it even about football?

Admittedly the first two could be anything, but the last?.......................Ooh Ahh Cantona, I said Ooh Ahh Cantona !!

I did try adding all the years together...subtracting 11...then dividing by 11...but I just got...545.5454545454545. I can't do anything with that...so I cheated.
