Nun toboggan =
Get toothpaste from tube =
Stop Jock and Stop Jock =
Babies on the slab =
Desert Waterhole =
East End revolutionary =
Elizabeth, Victoria or Mary =
Treacherous vicar =
Rub out midge =
Young men selling mice =
Pale serpent =
Depressed Evertonians =
Gandalf =
Keeps the horses in footwear =
Disturbed vision =
Fanatical about a girl =
Real trouble =
Blokes grafting =
Distribute evenly =
Silhouettes =
A preserve reflected on an Asian river =
Too many occupants =
Fresh command =
All the years quarters =
Picture house tune =
Dark Sunday =
friendly prickly bush =
Corridor with horse fodder =
Gender arms =
Did they invent a mechanical seed drill ? =





I take it these are all popular beat combos and this is the junior crossword?

I dont know a lot about it but there are some fairly obvious ones even I have heard of.

Babies on the slab = New kids on the block
Desert Waterhole = Oasis
Elizabeth, Victoria or Mary = Queen
Treacherous vicar = Judas Priest
Pale serpent = White Snake
Gandalf = Wizard
Disturbed vision = Blurred
Silhouettes = The Shadows
All the years quarters = Four Seasons
Dark Sunday = Black Sabbath

No Tel, I looked at it on the compooooter.  And I did this quiz about 5 years ago and though it unfair to give all the answers too quickly.

I'll let the old crusties frazzle their addled brains a bit longer...

Rub out midge = Erasure
Young men selling mice = Pet Shop Boys
Pale serpent = White Snake

A bit of thought still required on these
