The Crezz - Thames's expensive and doomed attempt to create a middle class soap, covering the doings of the residents of a Kensington crescent who all have frightfully fancy interior design.

I got the Treasure annual every year, so have had plenty of practice.

Drawing of the crooked man, wearing grey suit with green check waistcoat and bow-tie (at a crooked angle). He walks along a paved country footpath with wall, style, trees in view. It is greyscale but with green for trees and grass. 12 objects related to the rhyme “There was a crooked man” are hidden in the picture.

An observation test for you - for your inner 8 year-old

“The artist has hidden 12 things in this picture. How many can you find?”

Treasure magazine, 1964
Official answers coming soon

(Even if you don’t reply, could you please ‘like’ or share this one? 🙏)

Black-and-white picture of two children playing in woodland. Also in the picture, there are 12 hidden animals including an owl, a bat and a squirrel.

GOOD BEDS

Looking up at the corner of a three storey house, all brick walls in Flemish bond, ie rows of alternating headers and stretchers, and in this case the headers are a silvery grey colour which stands out against the orangey red of the stretchers. It's just possible to make out a ghost sign about half way up the end wall that says "GOOD BEDS", and just below that a real live magpie

Haha, yes! I'll give it a poke with a stick next time, I'm sure that will be fine

Got a picture of that metal thing from a different angle. You can see up the far end there's a cup shape, looking like the socket part of a ball joint

A 1920 Photoplay magazine piece mocking "the discrepancy hound"

Tedious people looking for plot holes were around long before the internet, alas. (Photoplay had a regular feature for readers to point out movie mistakes, so this seems a bit hypocritical, no?)
