                I'm glad I looked at that clue and thought "I have no idea where to start", rather than had an inkling what to look for as I never would have got there (mostly because I've never heard this "squashed tomatoes and stew" thing before).

                Was Alec Stewart routinely referred to as Stew? I had no idea.

                                                I'd been through the entire discography of Genesis, knowing Dunc's predilection for musical clues, and all I found to fit was That's All, which made no sense whatsoever.

                                                    I was slightly thrown by the lower-case 'g'. Doesn't take much to slightly throw me.
