Excellent. Could I request that people don't post any of the answers here just yet, but make a list for later?

Re: Looking for longer 2
I have to say that some of the clues on offer here are abysmal. The tow truck pulling the fish is the most embarrassing example, given that one has to pronounce the station name completely wrong for it to match the clue.
However, I do like the fact that in this version of the quiz it is obvious which parts of the image are clues. The last one did not have the "MAKE A GUESS" thing when you hovered over a potential answer - you had to just guess which parts of the image were clues.

I didn't like the thing next to the pint of beer. It was too small. Though the Es were fun.
A Story From The Tube was a great help, though.

I can't even work out what it IS next to the lager (not beer!)

Complete and some of the clues were a bit of a stretch.

I'm stuck at 93. Some nice puns and some awful word-mangling ones. Favourite probably the footballer, least favourite the two men in suits.
Also, one of the answers seems to not actually be a correct station name.

It's awful, isn't it? Did they get members of the public to send these in, or are the developers responsible for this?

I found the snail, the eel and the fighting candles quite nice. I thought the house was a great idea and would like to live somewhere like that someday. The bird-man was horrible and not a station, and the stars were too literal. I did enjoy the green car.
Perhaps the Look For Longer team could film A Story From The Tube... I'm sure they could get them all in.

Maybe they should learn lessons for if they ever do a third one.

Re: Looking for longer 2
I guess they would have used the more obvious ones the first time round, so it is inevitable these ones are going to be a bit more tenuous.

Re: Looking for longer 2
Not necessarily - they reused them. I mean, the first time round they had some horribly obvious ones (an arsenal for Arsenal, a bank for Bank, a red bridge for Redbridge, a lime house for Limehouse...). Arsenal and Highgate definitely came round again.

But the clue fore Highgate this time is identical to last time. The Arsenal clue is different this time.The Orange One wrote:Not necessarily - they reused them.

I liked the Arsenal clue. It was very clever.
