1 something peacock maybe

[mallyh]

anyone?

[emmie]

trevor Peacock perhaps, actor, now deceased.

[emmie]

from The Vicar of Dibley, in case you couldn't place him

[bobbinwales]

I dont get where 'heard the excitement' fits in though emmie. Am wondering if the first name is a word that sounds like something what means 'excitement' like frenzy

[bhg481]

Trevor peacock - to hijack mally's suggestion, but I can't justify trevor.

[mallyh]

all i can think of is jonnie peacock

[emmie]

me neither, bobb. but perhaps sounds like tremor. who knows.

[bhg481]

Trevor Peacock has an actor son Daniel but that's no better to parse.

[mallyh]

might not be peacock ,hope someone gets it as it's driving me barmy x

[emmie]

proud could have another meaning, like haughty,

[brian j john]

Daniel Peacock was I The vicar of Dibley

Anagram of denial ??

[emmie]

Daniel was in Only fools and horses, don't think he was in VOD> - trevor his dad most def was.

[brian j john]

Emmie ,,, you're right

[di1606]

Hi all, thanks for your input. I don’t think any so far are correct as the first part of the clue is the first word & second half is last word. I know this from the other clues I have solved.
