How about - The Fourth Barney Mystery is The Rub-a-dub Mystery?

The one I had in mind was The Final Barney Mystery is The Ragamuffin Mystery, but yours (which I hadn't anticipated) is good enough, Daisy. So over to you.

[Daisy]

Thanks Eddie. After I had written it I thought it could be the First or the Fifth as well!

It was Nigel who guessed correctly, Daisy.

[Daisy]

Sorry Nigel! I get so used to your expertise Eddie.....!!
Over to Nigel

Trust Fatty to confuse everyone - well, Daisy!

TSM lives in TFT in the EW

Just for that I'll post the right answer for once. *offended look*
The Saucepan Man lives in the Faraway Tree in the Enchanted Wood.

But where's the numeric part of the 'equation'? After all, the name ditloid comes from 1 = Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich. Or are we adopting a looser interpretation of the puzzle? Suits me.

[Moonraker]

WD Fatty! As for your closing comments, you've got me confused now.

[Fatty]

I meant the puzzle is supposed to have a number element. E.g. 6 BB (Six Bad Boys) or 24 BB in a P (four-and-twenty blackbirds baked in a pie). Otherwise it becomes just another acronym game. But that's okay - I don't suppose there's any rule that a ditloid *has* to have a number.

Here's the next one: 4 Ds of JMA

Clue: it's not from a standalone book, or from a minor series.

Four dolls of Jennifer Mary Armstrong?

[Fatty]

It was actually 27; she just couldn't get all of them into the trunk.
But yes, the answer is correct. Over to you, Anita.
