Salmon, Hill and Baker were Blue Peter presenter surnames, I don't know any others without googling. I'd just be whacking in different combinations.

Met Katy Hill once in MK Casino. She gave me a kiss. I blushed :lol:

Lesley Judd was a BP presenter, back in the stone age.

Matt Baker was the presenter when I was watching and Zoe Salmon is my sister's age group... I only know Katy Hill from Heart breakfast as my lift used to listen to that in the mornings and she always mentioned BP. Same as how at work we have Virgin Radio on and Kate Lawlor must say at least three times a day she was on Big Brother... :lol:

At the minute I'm struggling to see past Percy Harvin and Matty Ice as potential sports players/nicknames...

It's the By that's throwing me- I'm trying to find any others to make it Bye, or a suffix/prefix.

There's Ice and Table to make Hockey, I'm struggling to see 4 of the same sports...

That leaves the connection for the last four clues: Ask, Percy, By, Reginald

This one was maybe a bit too self indulgent. Percy is a very obscure clue that was always going to be the 4th one added on, not known by anyone. 'By' was gettable. And I thought Ask, or the uncommon Reginald, might be the giveaways. Or just the fact it was posted by me. ;)

Groan! Reginald is Jeeves' name. So it's something along those lines. Ask Jeeves was (is?) a search engine. Wodehouse named his Jeeves after Percy Jeeves (1888–1916), a popular English cricketer for Warwickshire (wiki). By Jeeves is a musical iirc.
