There's 4 US presidents and a number of US places. I think the group will be US state capitals: Austin, Madison, Lincoln, Dover?

Hoover, Lilo, Jeep and Biro - all trademarked products synonymous with the generic product types (vacuum cleaner, air mattress, 4 x 4, ballpoint pen)?

Not sure, but female comedians?

Victoria Wood
Maise Adam
Catherine Tate
Catherine Ryan

Yep. Well done. :)

I had to make a late alteration to the wall after SteelbackDon used my 'body parts with a missing letter' group and even had Hart as the red herring. I had the same group with Miranda Hart. So I created the England cricket coaches group instead with a lot of first name sounding surnames in both. :geek:

Don't you have to be funny to be a comedian, surely Catherine Tate is a red herring?

So the last group of Keyser's wall is Windsurfer, Cleveland, Ford, and the red herring in the fictional cats group.

I'm struggling to see a connection as I can't fit Windsurfer into anything.

You missed this from OFD:
