Four different idioms.

Can you tell us what they are?

 

Bull by the horns, back against the wall, downcast, cut corners.

 

Good!

It’s what you might be described as being if you’re feeling unwell…

A seasonal movie



And a clue…

 

Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence

 

Well played

 

Thread to this solution, please! I am more clueless than usual on this one. What, exactly, did David Bowie have to do with it, please!

 

It's a movie - Bowie starred in it. The clues were...

Merry - a hobbit from LotR
Chris - dunno, some guitarist
Mass - self-explanatory
Mr Bump
Lawrence of Arabia

Rambo - First Blood.

 

Looks like you solved that one before I even turned the light off!
That deserves a little bit extra, I think.

 

Eat your porridge…

 

Served us a layup with this one...

Goldilocks and The Three Bears

 

I’m working on the mother of all rebus puzzles. Just pacing myself
