Got it!

 

It’s a sequence of films.

 

Off to bed. Think GOBE and Rookery Dad knows the answer if needed......

 

Klopp.

 

I’m trying to peer over GoBE’s shoulder but he’s doing that move to the side thing.

Craning my neck.

 

Noel Edmonds, obviously.

 

Gruber, Stuart, Gruber, Gabriel

Die Hard baddies 1 to 4

 

The answer on the card is Gary Lineker.

 

Yeah, Klopp, Lineker and Edmonds are good smugness calls, but I doubt GOBE is attracted to them. Though you never know.

 

[ANECDOTE] Many moons ago one of my schoolmates married Victoria Coren's doppelgänger. This version of her was also a shameless name-dropper and made sure that everyone knew she went to Cambridge University (Homerton - amusingly, for me, as she attended the college when it wasn't actually a 'full'/'proper' Cambridge college). My wife and I were invited around their house for dinner one night and I made a quip that I was slightly perturbed to be eating a grilled sole without a 'proper' fish knife - cue my mate and her having a 'whispered' argument in the kitchen with her pointing out that I "...was eating his meal with a f**king butter knife...". Shortly before the return bout at ours, I visited possibly the best shop in the world opposite The King's School Canterbury that sells an eclectic range of objets d'art and collectables (AKA 'junk') to buy four mismatched butter knives. I enquired whether there were such things as 'butter spoons' (there were) and, joy upon joy, that shopkeeper alerted me to the fact he also had some 'butter forks'. Sitting down at our table the couple remarked what unusual cutlery we had and I of course told them what they actually were where upon the wife stormed out and hasn't acknowledged by existence at any social gatherings when we've met for almost 14 years now.[/ANECDOTE]

 

Ok, to prevent thread being hijacked by Coren-Mitchell haters, here's a relatively easy one.
1 Resigned brexit minister(misspelled)
2 Manufacturer of bathroom and other scales (also misspelled, or, if you like, elephant product misspelled differently!)
3 Brit female aquatic Olympian
4 specialised gearbox manufacturer

Ok, quite hard!

 

Maybe too hard

1 - previous one
3- much older
4 - no , specialise in motorsport, based in Sevenoaks

 

1 and 3 correct

 

Getting there
Remember 1 is misspelled. So is 3 (additional clue above)

If you think hard it shouldn't take you All Day, much less All Of The Night.

 

Oh I get it! 4 must be Quaife.

 

A cherry tree

Hmm. Is 2nd part Junior?

 

Yep

 

Good result.

 

Yep

 

3 - Oscar?

 

Yep

“Cherry Tree”

Looks like Brazil '82 but I can't place cherry tree.

 

Correct. Cerezo.
