    well, it's an ofca question

    - so of course we're expected to know about a 1950s US mini-series , the 1996 album of some dreary crooners in a synthpop band , and an obscure 1970 opera.

    Of course. I ask you!

    Looks like no one want to contest the victory with you.

    Brilliant, Vints, thine is the victory to be sure

    EDIT: Whoops, a late cross-posting with scb.

    Vints, would you like to move on to a W rather than wait for Ofca to return?

    Well, just having tuned in, and to save me the trouble of googling what Vints has said, would he like to post the actual V word that connects it all? Edit: crossed posted with Cali, yes, come on Vints, spit it out!

    [aren't they lovely when they're riled!]

    okely dokely

    V for Victory

    a 1952/53 US mini-series
    the last track on an album by Orchestral Manœuvres in the Dark
    an opera by Richard Rodney Bennett

    and so, sneakily, - for a change - inspired by ofca - a totally unmusical round:

    What W might connect

    an unmusical Pygmalion
    an unmusical Ring
    an unmusical Ode
    some unmusical Songs

    ...and more lovely, I would warrant.

    V for Victory, but we can't really be bothered to explain it. The dreary crooners are Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) anagram of MoD (geddit?)
    and it's the title of an opera by your old friend Richard 'Rod me' B... Must I go on?

    EDIT: Oh, praises be, Vints has done it!

    Well rubbers, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I think our Caliban is rather lovely in his own way! Also, forgot to say it earlier, but welcome back! Were you bribed by the Faure?

    I was pining, anyway, but the Faure helped. Now we must swift hide ourselves else the accent police will be upon us!
