thisbluespirit | allbingo Crime Classics Bingo Card

Okay, I knoooooow I am being rubbish at all my other bingos currently, but if

allbingo's August theme happens to be irresistible, everything will be different this time, right? XD

(Tbf, the odds are rather better than the last few weeks anyway...)

But, I give you a Crime Classics Bingo Card made from titles from the British Library's crime catalogue:

Someone from the Past	He Who Whispers	Tour de Force	Fear Stalks the Village	Antidote to Venom
Family Matters	Foreign Bodies	Tea on Sunday	It Walks by Night	Green for Danger
Settling Scores	As If By Magic	WILD CARD	The Black Spectacles	Somebody at the Door
Twice Round the Clock	The Man Who Didn’t Fly	Excellent Intentions	Crossed Skis	Serpents in Eden
The Wheel Spins	Final Acts	Deep Waters	Not to Be Taken	Bats in the Belfry

I love it. I even got the source for The Lady Vanishes, go me! Any suggestions? (With the usual caveat of me probably doing something else anyway, heh.)

Ohhh that's an amazing card, good luck! Someone from the Past and Twice Round the Clock sound like they could be Sapphire & Steel stories!

Thank you! And, yes, there are so many possibilities! Twice Round the Clock in particular is indeed very S&S, isn't it?

(

allbingo is the most laid back of bingo comms, if you wanted your very own to stash somewhere in your shiny-prompt hoard, btw - they do a new bingo every month, but the comm was set up as chiefly a place to finish long-neglected/dead bingos, so they never mind about deadlines, and there aren't even sign ups - we just copy the month's list of prompts into the generator & Do It Ourselves. As I said, the most laid back! *adds this to the top of four other

allbingo bingoes I maaaaay have* XD)

(okay, it might be three? But. Four now, lol.)

allbingo definitely sounds great! I still have two unfinished cards you made for me though, and there are some really good prompts there, so I'll try to resist and focus on them! <3

The Man Who Didn’t Fly: so how *did* the Fourth Doctor and Romana get down from the top of the Eiffel Tower? XD

Ha, a good question! XD

That's delightful. (Green for Danger!)

From:

thisbluespirit

Thanks! It's a great card. I didn't need another, but clearly also, I did need this one! XD

The generator clearly has a thing for John Dickson Carr - I commend its taste :-)

From:

thisbluespirit

There must be a lot of him in the British Library Crime Classics catalogue, I suppose! XD

Oooh, nice icon!

Good list of prompts! 'Green for Danger' will make TPTV happy. I have no suggestions as I have been battling my printer today.

Heh, oh noes, no wonder you have no energy left! Printers, always obstreperous at the best of times.

Me and the printer have reached a truce, just!

Oh, these are excellent! I feel duty bound to suggest that ‘Family Matters’ and ‘Not to be Taken’ have strong TWB (and indeed general Victwardiany) vibes! :D

From:

thisbluespirit

Family Matters does! I mean, my history with bingos is to stash them away and then take six years to approach a line from every other possible direction without actually achieving a bingo, but we shall see. :-)

My brain read across from "Settling Scores" to "Somebody at the Door" and thought that sounds like the first few chapter's of Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone.
