If it's Daley Thompson's Decathlon I'm going to need both clues explaining :mrgreen:

Daley Thompson's Supertest (just in case).

I have no idea about the clues, either.

Both clues? Did I give two? (Bit drunk, so forgive me!)

I remember this clue:

4. A cock and hen, perhaps - but not Arthur's.

A cock and hen = Cockney rhyming slang = 10 = Decathlon.
But not Arthur's? Not Arthur Daley's Decathlon - Daley Thompson's.

I'll get my coat..
Retro stuff, real quick

Oh!

"But happy to discuss further."

...'discuss' = discus. The picture was of the discus, from the discus event in DT's Decathlon.

That's the clue I went with and thought that it was Olympic Challenge. Oh well....
