Hints would be much appreciated for
56 Soothing fat set wrongly (anagram of a TV comedy series)
75 Which well-known actor and film director played roller hockey for Manchester
85 Missing word from this sequence: M,K,D,S,M,S,?,S,L,M

[Magyar]

56. It should be soothing fit set wrongly, and is an anagram of a mid 70s comedy. (It's magi our Maurice).

75. I've got an actor (one of a family) from a long running soap, although I can't be certain that it's the answer needed.

If you prefer the answer rather than a hint, just ask.

[Magyar]

That should be 'it's magic our Maurice'.

[gargy]

Thanks magyar I now know the programme in 56.
Is the long running soap Coronation Street ?

[Magyar]

No, a little more rural !

[gargy]

I assumed Emmerdale from your clue, but having ploughed (pardon the pun) through the lengthy cast list I couldn't find anyone who fit the description of famous actor and director. Perhaps you had better tell me the answer!

[Magyar]

Oops sorry gargy. I hadn't noticed the film director part of the question which means it's back to the drawing board for me. I had Kelvin Fletcher who plays Andy Sugden. Hope you haven't wasted too much time searching.

[gargy]

No problem Magyar and you sorted no 56 for me so many thanks.
