can we have the next clue then? :D

4 The Great Plague of London.

*blinks obliviously*

Well, nobody can seem to crack this one...I'll give you what I would've liked to have seen fourth, one point if anyone can see why:

(The fourth clue wouldn't necessarily need to be that)

is it the relationship between the letters in the first word and the second? The first word has 1 letters in common (__A__), second has 2 (_I_E_), third has 3 (_OVE_), fourth has 4 (_LUES).

..acronyms...I don't know..computer programmes..?...

That's exactly it! It's known as the "Hamming Distance" between the two words, how many letters you would have to change in the first word in order to get to the second word. So the hamming distance of the first clue is 4, then 3, then 2, and the hamming distance between Blues and Clues is 1. So that's a point to Shaun, well done indeed.

Onto our next sequence, I will only accept a correct answer given with a reason, as there is quite a limited field of guesses :P What comes fourth?

*shrug*

Big Brother 15... because they're the consecutive years there'll have been a Rugby Union world cup on?

Well done Shaun, bloody hell... I couldn't see anything in that last set of clues.

4 = Big Brother 1? Ratings descending...

I don't bump often, but I'll make myself an exception here.

i have zero idea

so i shall guess Big Brother 8 because they're series with crap male winners

Okay, well here is the fourth in the sequence, again one point if someone can tell me why they're a sequence:

BB9. No housemates walked in these series?

Oops nvm that's wrong!

..are they series where housemates left the house and then returned..

Sorry about the delay folks! Had some very important business that needed attending to!

This one was a bit nasty to be honest:

Simply put, BB4, BB6 and BB7 all had male final 2's, and after 7 there wasn't another Male final 2 until Big Brother 12, with Aaron and Jay.

So, no points there. I wonder if you'll fare better with our next sequence? Here's your first clue:

...hmmmm..*thinks*...

I'm going to guess this has something to do with Zelda and say no.4 would be Impa, who stays with the sword in the Temple of Hylia.

Talk about a shot in the dark...

4... Spirit in the Sky with Gareth Gates
