Quite a spectacle! As a fellow city slicker I'd have been similarly alien but fascinated. But as the good Bard said..
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

 

All right, you Cracker Jacks! Here’s one to test your mettle. Find this person’s given name, then find the name of the tv show this person hosted in the late ‘60s and early 70s. And, no, the personality in the one clue is not the person I am looking for.

 

Here’s another, just to keep you awake! Recently, in another thread on the OB, a clue was given which showed a portly chap in distinctly Canadian attire. I was waiting for someone to identify him. He was a character in a Canadian tv show from about 1970 or so. It was written and filmed in Canada. Whether it was shown anywhere but in Canada, I don’t know. These clues lead to the actor’s given name. Once you know that, you can identify the tv show. Name him and the show. Maybe a Canadian will answer this one?

 

Al Waxman, the show: King of Kensington

 

Huzzah! We have a correct answer(s). Well done.

 

Yes, but "frown face - Buster Keaton - Care bears" has me totally stumped.

 

If (and when) I see more wizards trying, I might leak out a clue or three.

 

Two clues. One: Male
Two:

 

I’m here! Are you there? Here’s another.

- D

DE

 

Grey (mood)
Ham (with apologies to Buster Keaton)
Care (Bears)

= Graham Kerr

'The Galloping Gourmet'

 

Wizard (from Whizzer)
Oz

= Wizard of Oz

 

We have us a new star! @TasMike ! Huzzah! Correct. He pronounced his last name are Care, not Kerr!

 

I have to say that @TasMike takes all the fun out of putting together “difficult” rebus puzzles! Anyway, yet another correct answer.

 

One to sleep on. The more perspicacious of you (hell, you’re all perspicacious) won’t need a clue as to what the clues in this rebus refer to.

 

This one may not be too easy. A one picture rebus. Anyone know who they are, where they were from, why they were in the limelight 60 years ago, and who they were involved with. Hints: Scandal, not from the Western Hemisphere.

 

Catcher in the Rye.

A novel by J D Salinger.

 

Bingo! We have a winner! Catcher in the rye! (@JimInOz . Don’t you ever sleep? )

 

Christine Keeler and her friend Mandy Rice-Davies, women connected with the Profumo affair. It was a British political scandal in the early 1960s where John Profumo, Secretary of State for War, had an affair with Keeler, a 19 year old would-be model.

 

We have another winner,! YAY! Well done @dougwhiz ! You aced it! The joke at the time was Scotland Yard was trying to identify a nude young woman’s body that was found in the ocean. It was theorized that it might be the body of one of these two, since it was found bobbing up and down, under a pier (as in peer)!
