Jim and Rich - all right. Only number 3 left, which I thought was one of the easier ones.

Yeah but Smurf I can't explain it. It was a toss up between him or Don White based purely on "to don..." I know the square route of jack diddly squat about Israeli composers well come to that I can't get past Beethoven, Mozart or Malcolm Arnold (and the last one is only because I worked on a unit named after him - much to his disgust!)

As for the pictures Dave me old fruit it's way to easy...
The first is Monty Masters US retreat famously used in the film North by Northwest, the second are the steps leading down to your extensive wine cellar, the lady is Mavis Haddon receiving her nobel peace prize, the next picture is the headquarters of non-profit making Jetsco and oh flip it looks like cyberman have learnt how to climb.
The odd one out? Well I'd hope that was obvious!

but that is only the Jetsco Annexe Rich, and I think the picture is of Mavis sitting on Monty's right hand
Rich - to "Don" a "Mac", there's a TV and game composer called Inon Zur, who I found to fill in the gap!

Yep, I had them but couldn't quite get the "whole clue".
Can we have the working out for the dunces among us. Ta.
The only WWW man I know of is Tim Berners-Lee. (I sold his brother an accounting system when he worked for the BBC)
Correct Emma, here are the details:
1. The baptist practices dexterity next the sea
John (the Baptist) sleight (of hand) holme (next the sea, in Norfolk)
2. The WWW man has a bad finish on his pole
Tim (Berners-Lee) Rod (pole) burr (metal with a rough edge)
3. He gets funding for something like an aquatic mammal
Grant (funding) Seely (seal-y, geddit?)
4. Mr Bulsara can paint the future
Farouk Bulsara (aka Freddie Mercury) and Issac Mendez from "Heroes"
5. He puts on a coat for the Israeli composer
"Don" a "Mac", there's a TV and game composer called Inon Zur

Well the woman is Marcia Falkender formerly Williams, she was Harold Wilsons secretary wasn't she? A little grubbing about tells me she's Baroness Falkender of West Haddon.
She was indeed Chris, and the picture is her and not the sainted Mavis

Oh you poor deluded fools, the official line may well be that the Baroness of West Haddon was Wilson's secretary but that's because of Haddon Gate which was quickly hushed after air Bert knocked Wilson out for inproper thoughts regarding his wife. Oh how we laughed down Jimmy's club that night!
No this is not a Gloucester tie!
