Answers to last March's cryptic quiz...

Ian was listening to the build up tapes for Delia Derbyshire's Blue Veils and Golden Sands.

Amazing stuff.

The winner receives a limited edition Golden Hare by Lindt and Kit Williams.

Honestly people, the clues were all there.

There's finally been a press release about this great, great collection.

Eddie Mair gets giddy on the PM blog
The Telegraph uses the word 'posterity'.
The Times muses on 'irrevocable decay' and calls Delia a 'hopeless alcoholic'.

That probably tells you something.

Who knew it was a competition? It seemed too obvious!

Oh, sorry.

I've eaten the hare now, as well.

Typical. That's the seventh hare prize I've missed out on this year. Eight if you count that really big rabbit which was first prize in the TLS 'Best Novel of the 20th Century' competition.

The PM Blog wins the coverage race for not calling DD 'Mrs Derbyshire' (like The Torygraph) or being The Times (like The Times).

Also for using a different picture (though the usual picture has the plus of DD looking pretty damn hot in it)

Is it just me who never saw Desmond Briscoe at the back of that shot before? Did he turn up specially to stand around awkwardly in the corner of her studio, or was he a permanent fixture?
