Mutual appreciation society between Boxwood and me today then.

The Marx Brothers loomed large last week with a work colleague telling me about having to name 10 of their films in the previous night's pub quiz on the day I came into work with my Groucho and Harpo cufflinks on, and then George's Listener blog featuring a puzzle with a Marx Bros theme.

Which leads me on to this week's challenge. Apart from being a MB fillum it's also a Queen album and an evening out for Peter B:

A NIGHT AT THE OPERA

Away you go.

A disappointing response to this but Boxwood set the bar so high with the first offering that I doubt it would have been beaten if there'd been 50 entries.

Just brilliant.

Over to you Boxy

IS ANYBODY THERE?
