Goodbye Pork Pie.  I had never heard of it, but it sounds like it might be amusing.

Regarded as a cult movie here in New Zealand. Iconic and just so Kiwi!

Interesting guess, but wrong: you needed 2 Rs for that and there is only one. That probably leaves you hanged, drawn and quartered!  ...but keep going.

Does this rule impact on the steps? Sounds like a wrong guess of the expression leads to two steps only. In any case I guess University Challenge (ix) At any stage anyone can try to guess the whole word/expression, and a wrong word/expression guess results in two steps towards the completion of the picture, but without any indication of whether any of the individual letters or words guessed are correct.

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

Correct, and I see that rules (viii) and (ix) conflict: I had tried to implement (viii), which was a real headache! I must have added one to replace the other at some point and then made the mistake of leaving the old one. I have deleted the previous (viii) and amended what was (ix) and now becomes (viii). I think that works, but please let me know. It would have meant that your wrong guess cost 4 steps but with no letters being added.

R is good. My apologies for miscounting the number of letters
