Clues too easy last week, so here are harder ones……have a go…. There’s a South African substitute, an airlines poster theme, along with three “extras”, next to an offer with Jim. David wants to alter things and there are three ‘ones’ from 1973. Linda shoops a song from Betty, plus a January 1978 song from Abba that dares you?

Between 9 and 10 o’clock it’s this week’s Chart in 1975 that includes: Elvis P., Donnie and Marie, Mac and Katie, John Holt, Helen Reddy and maybe a touch of Footsie? (Dave and Keith frequently solve the clues, anyone else to challenge the “duo”?)
