    Mercury is already liquid, so that's not it.
    It would be if the mercury were at -38º.

    Looksee is right (see post #1538).

    Bonzodog2 seems to have gone on a walkies so may I profer an interim question?

    The theme tune of which TV series consists of a melody of the series title in Morse code?

    I have to offer - Morse?

    though actually something is distantly rattling around in the back of my head, it may come to me.

    Whoops! Yes Looksee, you are correct. The Inspector Morse theme uses the same idea. The music in the question uses just one instrument (piccolo) whereas the Morse theme uses a symphony orchestra and that must have caused it to slip by me. Nonetheless it might be fun to pause a bit in case anybody (eg Srameen) comes up with the theme that I had in mind.

    Well done OG, you've decoded my secret message to Srameen. I had asked him to hold off in the hope that there was some more fun to be knocked out. Instead, all that was knocked out was a blushing apology from me to Looksee. She was right in that her answer ("Inspector Morse") was a valid one although not the one I had in mind - that was Srameen's answer: "Some Mothers do 'ave 'em".

    I suggest that the only resolution to the mess that I have created is a question each from Srameen and Looksee and a reiterated apology from me. A bonus award could be a question from OldGoat!

    Who are these and what connects them?

    One of the group members had a yacht named drum?
    First appeared in Ester Rantzens 'big time' working 9 to 5 in 1980?
    The sun always shone on TV for this band?

    Woop! Always happy with a bonus.

    Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi - what is the full title of his most famous creation?

    I know the common name and should know the title. It'll come to me when I least expect it, I'm sure.

    I think I can part answer this...

    Is the connection Scottish/Scotland?
