Some QPR related clues to welcome the new season.

Good luck...

2) Botched A-line haircuts.

3) Suspicious character on TV channel.

4) The start of Red, Red Robin.

5) Flood Charlton and Greenwich, say.

6) Cooked in cell, meat is eaten.

    All correct, save Bob's. Bob, you chose the hardest one, probably:the clues aren't literal,you need to think 'outside the box'.
    Not much help without giving it away, I know.

    I'm going to assume the Doubting Thomas part is right.
    The other part of your clue said TV channel...

    So.... Thomas BBCNews24?

    You did!

    If anyone's wondering about the Clive Allen one: veal is a meat that was 'eaten' in an anagram (cooked) of in cell.

    Clive Allen.

    He shoots,he scores!

    Flood-fill-Phil; Charlton and Greenwich are both parks.
    In cryptic clues,say can mean a word sounds like another word but is spelt differently, or it can be an example of something.Here, it covers both definitions.
