So far think I have 38 but only spotted another 11 

Have tried to copy pics but didn't work, so for those who have RT

The couple at the window in the house top right (under the birds)

The royal couple

The sausages and fivers

The dog in the wheelchair

The American flag 

The horse slow sign

The pink car with antlers at the fron

The smart guy on the roof (by Ru Paul)

The woman in blue with a sword

Hotfoot Prqline

Stephen's thermometer (Inks missing from antique pics on line)

Happy to help with others (apart from the one I haven't spotted). Let me know if you want the answer or just a clue.

[MarilynneT]

The sausages and the fivers:  Bangers and Cash

The couple in the top right window:  The Woman in the Wall

The Woman in Blue with the Sword:  Penny Mordant in The Kings Coronation

I'm stuck with the pink car, Hotfoot Prqline and the American Flag too. 

[MummyBabyBee]

Hotfoot proline is an anagram of hotel portofino

[MummyBabyBee]

I've got 41, just missing: 

The man on the roof; the pink car; the constellation; the burning earth; the woman in the window (Jodie Whittaker?); the two girls in the window; the woman in green with the sword; the fox. 

Am happy to help

[MummyBabyBee]

The American flag is White House Plumbers 

[andrewc]

Thanks so much. Some great answers. I'd found Bangers and Cash but dismissed it because I thought it was on in 2019 and this year was a charity event, but clearly it was both. And I thought it was Ruth Wilson at the top right window (one of my favourite actors) but had forgotten the programme. I'm probably  one of a small minority that didn't know anything about Penny Mordaunt at the Coronation, but I was out of the country and didn't watch any of it. And I visited Portofino (gorgeous) but hadn't got that. And had completely forgotten about the White House Plumbers so thanks for all that.

I think the answers you're looking for are:

World on Fire

Bear (the constellation is Ursa Major anyway)

Time (Jodie Whittaker)

Dreamland (someone suggested that on MoneySavingExpert)

Wolf (for your fox)

[ParrottBoy]

So, the only ones I have missing now are:

1. Perry and English breakfast items

2. Thermometer

3. Scottish Flag

4. The Daily Mirror / Fugitive

5. Pink jeep

Happy to trade with anyone if you know the answers to these.

 

[andrewc]

The Perry is Grayson

The thermometer: a red hand indicates a temperature and Stephen is an actor

There is a Scottish flag associated with Will meeting Kate but I think you mean a different flag that relates to a northerly part of Scotland  

I think the Fugitive is Stonehouse

I'm also stuck on the pink car  

I'm also lacking one clue  Does anyone think the blue puffer jacket and/or sun symbol above is a clue?

These are the clues I've found. I think the number 9 door is 2 clues? I could be wrong though! 

[ParrottBoy]

I don't think the blue jacket and sun are an answer.

I've just realised that the flag in question isn't Scottish at all.  And I've also just realised that the thermometer is 'Boiling Point' with Stephen Graham.

[MarilynneT]

Jay Blades has only been in 3 programmes that I can find - The Repair Shop, Jay Blades The East End through Time and The Midlands through time.  I don't know what the significance of the presents he's carrying are.

I thought the door was Inside No. 9 but the person doesn't match anyone in it so not sure about that one.

[andrewc]

Thanks for taking the trouble to list all the clues. It was the lights hanging from the Tudor building I hadn't spotted. Also thanks for saying Fox. After I'd said Wolf I kept looking at it, thinking, it's a bit big for a fox, a bit small for a wolf. Anyway I think it might be a fox, but difficult to google anything about fox. The Repair shop seems the most likely answer for Jay Blades. Maybe they're referring to the Christmas special. I was a bit slow to realise Inside No 9 was two clues. Have MoneySavingExpert to thank for pointing out that the guy is Aziraphale

[TheWinner]

please clarify, are we to suggest answers, or clues?

[MarilynneT]

You can suggest both TheWinner if you want.  Every little thing helps someone else.  

I'm surprised that I can't find anything to do with the soaps, eg. Eastenders or Corrie.  Maybe I've missed something.
