Giving up at 61 after 3 or more hours.  My 'things to do' list for this evening has been sadly neglected.

Am at 60 and now am properly stuck.

I got one by accident and still don't really get why the answer was the answer.....

:) After looking very carefully, your hint was enough to go on.

I still think the red herring should be Mornington Crescent (but it isn't).

Three to go.

Thanks!  :thumbsup:

I also thought the red herring would be Mornington crescent. 10 to go! Why do I get the feeling sleep will be somewhat elusive tonight.

Done. I spent ages looking for the last one - easy to get but I'd not spotted it earlier.

Now I can get back to doing something productive.

Which two?
And, do you want to trade clues?

Someone put me out of my misery - what is the rabbit? A clue will do.

I ration myself to 30 mins a night.

Regarding the rabbit , where do they live ?

Thanks!

And I kept looking at the station early on thinking it was bound to be used somewhere, but couldn't work out where.

I think there's at least a couple of clues that could have plausible dual answers. It took me a while to figure out why it wasn't Highgate near the top of the page.....

Bobb and I have managed 41. It's hard if you don't know London well and can't think of any stations named after wizards doing avada kedavra on a hill.

You need to concentrate on what the wizard is doing to the other two people.

That's one you probably can get - it's been on virtually every second series of ISIHAC since the beginning.

I feel I know London fairly well, but I still had to get a tube map to find a few, and check the official names - one of the answers is "wrong" in that it's no longer the name of the tube station, but everyone calls it by the old name anyway.

That assumes I've ever seen or heard ISIHAC, which I haven't.

He's doing avada kedavra!

(And yes, it should be illegal for the rabbit not to be Warren Street.)

Yebbut, but, but a warren is a network of *something else* innit.

..... one of the answers is "wrong" in that it's no longer the name of the tube station, but everyone calls it by the old name anyway.
I'm curious which one you mean, the big one on Euston Road, just before Pentonville Road?

That one - wikipedia suggests it's not been called by the shorter name since somewhere around 1933, so perhaps I'm not being as pedantic as I thought.  ;)

Still struggling with the mouse, the bale of hay or whatever it is, the Jack Russell, the bloke shooting at the plane, and the man with the telly wrapped in rope.

75. After some srsly brane-warping studying of the TfL list of stations.

Now to get on with something productive.  Such as sleep.
