Hello, SMoB,
have you given up on the paperchase or are you still hankering after clues? I think your last request may have been missed.

I asked for a clue; unsubscribed as asked, and didn't hear anything. 
I was actually going to go back and look for it again, but got busy with writing that article, midterms, and so on. I'm about to go away for a week and a half too, and have cut down my h2g2 time quite a lot, but...
the short answer is, yes, I'd love to get back into it as soon as I have time. Just I got stuck.

Oops, sorry. Well, here's the clue I gave Eternity: you can use it with both toy cars and TVs.
I often find that clues can be had by looking at the conversation fora for others on the paperchase, where they will often discuss things. This has the advantage that no-one knows you needed help.

Thank you! Great idea too. I did wander over to her page, but couldn't see a conversation over there.
Now... to find the question again....

There I am, thanks Bagpuss! But oh no! A BBC clue!

I don't know anything about the BBC, not being British

It's not entirely necessary to know about the beeb; that bit of the clue gives you the conversation, of which there was only one for that entry last time I looked.
