I've heard of High Street, but it wasn't going to come to me. I almost made a BWA attempt with "Mornington Crescent," but I thought I had a nonzero chance of a random guess being right, and that the reference was too obscure (at least in America).

I'm kind of disappointed that my answers earlier this season of "Qurplop" for the Quran subdivision and "Prince E. Mail" for the Nigerian playwright weren't chosen.

It would never have occurred to me that there could exist a person who could come up with Mornington Crescent but not High Street.

I went with "Basketball Jones" yesterday, which is a very old Cheech and Chong routine. Almost got it right totally by accident.

For Aaron Spelling's last series before he died, I went with "Heaven Couldn't Wait". I knew 'heaven' was in there, but no way I was pulling that one.
