[Gutfright]

Can't remember Toni Cipriani, so I just randomly jammed her(?) in somewhere...

There are a couple there that are married to the wrong games. As far as I remember in the top down GTA games (I,II and London) the name of the protagonist is not revealed.

This is closer but still not quite right. You have Victor and Toni in the right cities, but not the right games. It's worth remembering that there were 2 GTA games that recycled the maps from previous games, but used a totally different storyline and protagonist. That's your first clue. Your second is that the challenge was to put them in order of First Appearance in the story.

I knew it was Lance Vance, not Victor, who was in Vice City.

How about...

Claude (III)
Toni Cipriani (Liberty City Stories)
Tommy Vercetti (Vice City)
Victor Vance (Vice City Stories)
Carl Johnson (San Andreas)
Niko Bellic (IV)

I accept this answer. I have to admit to being a bit naughty including Johnny and Lewis, as it depends on which of the Episodes from Liberty City you played first, as to which appears first. I'm also impessed that the three protagonists of the GTA V storyline are in the correct order of when they become playable.

Apologies for taking so long to come back, I have been out all day helping a friend pick up his new car.

The floor is yours.

No worries.

In Denmark it's known as One of Us is the Killer. In Germany it was called Last Weekend. In Malaysia it's No One Survived in the End. In Portugal they call it Invitation to Death. In Brazil they know it as The Invisible Avenger, and in Thailand it's Murders On The Island.

What is it called in Britain?

 

[Darren R]

Cluedo?

 

[Gutfright]

Cluedo?

A good guess, but the actual answer was around before Cluedo was invented.

 

[DaleCooper]

Is it "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie?

 

[Gutfright]

Is it "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie?

Indeed it is. Being written in the olden days, the original title of the novel is somewhat offensive by today's standards.

The Intriguing Case of the Next Question is yours...

 

[Darren R]

Damn that's annoying - of the two answers that came to mind, I picked the wrong one!

 

[DaleCooper]

Time for a picture question, what is this?

 

[Gutfright]

Is it a bolo tie aglet?

 

[Cowley]

Is it some bit of a bracelet?

 

[DaleCooper]

Is it a bolo tie aglet?

At first I thought that was just nonsense or perhaps an anagram that had excaped from "Cryptic clues" but after googling it I can say "No, it isn't one of them", although I suppose it could be used as one.

Is it some bit of a bracelet?

Not a bit of a bracelet either, it is functional rather than decorative.

 

[TheEdge]

Is it some sort of specialist plug head?

 

[Cowley]

Is it some kind of thing for tightening guy ropes up?

 

[DaleCooper]

Is it some sort of specialist plug head?

Not that...

Is it some kind of thing for tightening guy ropes up?

...nor that.

You may well have one in your house, if so it often has three mates with it.

 

[Cowley]

I've just looked at every single thing in my house and I haven't got one.
Is it something to do with plumbing?

You would probably need a screwdriver to find one but I don't recommend that course of action.

It is not plumbing related.

 

[ComUtoR]

Is it a cam of some sorts ?

 

[DaleCooper]

Is it a cam of some sorts ?

No it's not a cam.

Here's what's printed on the other side and the first picture with the size added:

 

[ComUtoR]

Aliens !!! !!!! ! !

Is it from [redacted] that landed in Ro[redacted] new mexico ?

 

[DaleCooper]

Aliens !!! !!!! ! !

Is it from [redacted] that landed in Ro[redacted] new mexico ?

It isn't from that particular sp*c*sh*p but Fox and Dana tell me the "Greys" probably used something similar in their [redacted] systems.

 

[Cowley]

Is it something to do with an electric oven? It's not is it? I feel stupid even asking.

 

[DaleCooper]

Not at all stupid, it is conceivable that this or something similar might have an application in an electric oven although it wouldn't have been my first thought.

 

[Marton]

A transistor probably in a heating system control

 

[DaleCooper]

A transistor probably in a heating system control

Transistor is the magic word. Actually an audio power transistor in a TO3 package, you would typically find four of them in a stereo amplifier but they have lots of other uses.

Your turn Marton...

 

[Marton]

Thank you.

Why and by whom are Policeman's Helmets subject to "bashing"?
