61)A "beating" Beetle (7)
28)Botanical genius(4-4)
answers are people with the christian name Tom,Dick, or Harry)(also Harold,Richard etc. Number of letters in brackets refers to letters in the surname.
I agree, Jackdaw- I've just been looking at Botanical Genus and there were loads.
The 4-4 rather than 4,4 also indicates the answer is not someone's name
Okay thanks- it seems it has to be a name of a person.
There are two books that have lead characters who are described as botanical geniuses- one is Seymour from little shop of horrors- not sure who has played him- and Mr Cave from Eucalyptus but i can't find his first name
in no 28, the 4-4 letters refer to the surname, not to Tom Dick or Harry which are the christian names that we also have to find.Still appreciate you trying to find an answer for me.
