En Passant

I know, it's been done to death, but I'd sooner watch this on an endless loop with my eyelids glued open than endure little and large for 30 seconds.

heh, no, have to put it down to similar thought patterns or the "great minds..." cliche. Give up your secrets to / the girl next door. Since it lasted more than a minute for once. 7,2,2 the first part (track). 5,7 the second part (artist).

Spin Doctors - Two Princes?

Phil the Greek breaks innocent motorists arm driving without due care and attention at the least. Subsequently 2 days later gets into a replacement 80 grand motor and drives without a seatbelt. Action? None. Meanwhile, a homeless man is prosecuted for not filing his tax return on time. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/feb/14/homeless-man-fined-by-hmrc-for-missing-tax-return-krzysztof-pokorowski You really couldn't make it up.

Are you looking over my shoulder? Every one I put you got in seconds....3 for 3 well done. Clearly I shall have to start thinking like Toastie to make them harder.

Eccentric bankers topics are not what they seem.

It isn't...Party Fears Two..... ETA Deathers should get the credit though, he did the harder part.

Oh it was and indeed still is, regardless. Can't do anything about blind (or in this case half blind) luck though.

Water for Elephants then.

Oh it didn't get lost by me, just that I don't really have much of a clue. Watership Down? Though aside from being about animals and having water in the title....

Well me too. I mean clearly I've never seen planet of the apes for a start....

Don't be so hard on yourself you nailed rain - status quo almost instantly in the music one. ETA Nailing rain is quite a feat in itself..... I need coffee I think.

Ah, might have helped had I ever seen it all the way through, rather than in the background some place years ago. My error. It's stretching my brain to think of questions that can't be googled, now you want accuracy as well? Ptui.

Now I begin to see the difficulty of crossword compilation, I don't know how anyone can consider all the possibilities that might also be quite close. I might have guessed this too, had I ever watched it. The trouble I have with quotes and other straightforward relevant information is that so much of it is just cut and paste to google and the chances are your answer is in the first half dozen hits. Or if not you can follow a trail. Thus my amateur attempts at cryptic clues both here and in the music equivalent. In any event, this time toast got what I had initially intended, so I suppose I can't have missed entirely.

Indeed Toastie.
