    07, Foxy outcome for actor Smith

    09, Mixed up Thunderbird character has girls name.

    Ok so here's a little help.

    Think of associations with the word fox and then tie it in with the actor.

    Rearrange the letters in the name of a thunderbirds character and then give it a tenuous link with a video game and film.

    3 Hours till deadline. Tick, tick, tick.

    Foxes = Leicester = Lester

    Actor = Tim Piggot Smith

    Therefore Lester Piggot


    Thunderbird character = Brains = Brian

    Girls name + movie + game = Tomb Raider = Lara croft

    Therefore Brian Lara.

    See easy when you know how lol
