Captain Scarlet....By The Letters! (Word Association)

That was the point I made a while back about 'McGee, Elaine' and 'Elaine McGee'. But I think it was allowed. Don't fully understand why.

I think it's okay:

Marion wrote:It was decided when this happened before that it WAS okay to do it with personal names (Paul Metcalfe and Metcalfe, Paul) - but NOT with episode titles (so no 'Special Assignment/ Assignment Special or Mercury Falling/Falling Mercury).
$\D/$

I hope so

If it's not, then I shall go trawling again :lol:

I'm only a Captain! (my profile may say 'Major'... but believe me, I'm a Captain :wink:

:wink::angel)) I've not got the authority to give the final decision
:wink:

If there's anything wrong with it, I'm sure the Mods will say so.

There is nothing wrong with it; it is a proper name and can therefore be used in both versions. Forename/surname and surname/forename.

Thank you for sorting out the query, Marion. :grin:

I'd religiously checked back through all the previous 'A' and 'W' entries on Hazel's spreadsheet, but, like a klutz, totally forgot to check this round's 'A'! :roll:

(I would have saved it for a different round had I known. :lol:

)
Onto those tricky X, Y and Z...

Xeron scanners

I obviously have far too much time on my hands - I found this in one speech bubble in the 1968 annual, in the story "We, the Mysterons, will destroy the entire northern hemisphere". (Bottom of page 17, for anyone who wants to check)

It's either that, or your brain was working on full power at the time :wink:

Now for a 'Y' ... *sigh*

Dewar-Elf: the shopping mall in Unity City where the selection committee for Spectrum met, in empty offices. (According to Chris Drake, anyway.)
We also see the name on the TV show - on the streets of London, in 'Big Ben Strikes Again', I think.
