But that has nothing to do with 'ma' or with 'colander'.

Cormacolindor?
I do see two final bits, but not 'goodness me' bit.

CORMACOLINDO: ‘Goodness me, my lettuce-draining implement!’ we seem to hear him cry, (roughly speaking).
DAUR: He’s not nearly as stern as he sounds. MR UNDERHILL: He failed to meet her, we hear, beneath Henry Irving’s lissom larches. (Initially). ???R???: For him: an actress from ‘Alfie’ – pale warmth circulates - and a fireplace sings differently, and in disharmony. IORHAEL: French king returns – hear a word of praise for him! PASSWORD: MAURA THEME: FRODO COR! (An expression of surprise. Is it just a British expression, I wonder?) Just knock the end off to get the singular. 'Cormacolindor' on the Field of Cormallen referred to both Frodo and Sam as The Ringbearers.

BRONWE ATHAN HARTHAD: For him: an actress from ‘Alfie’ – pale warmth circulates - and a fireplace sings differently, and in disharmony. IORHAEL: French king returns – hear a word of praise for him! PASSWORD: MAURA THEME: FRODO The elements, though, are (Eleanor) BRON + WAN + HEAT + A + HEARTH - E + D (sings a different note/tune - change note letter for a different note). (I meant the original 'Alfie,' with Michael Caine). The original password was FRODO, but I'd have had to get the F from ELF-FRIEND, which is good and true, but perhaps not quite as specific as CORMACOLINDOR/RINGBEARER. Over to you! Well done. I can't make another riddle just now, I'm afraid.

My well of themed passwords is quickly drying up. It'll be a while until I make the next one.

1. Her physical condition is haywire.
2. Temporary provision of money reveals her (chaotically). 3. A nasal in the middle of fractured bird claw, for him. 4. Note, he is unyielding, in turmoil.

All I see is a bunch of anagrams I can't get anything out of.
#2 seems likely to include 'loan', and #3 is probably talon + n, but I'd have to resort to brute-force attacking them with a searchable database to get anything else out of them. I don't really want to do that; it feels like cheating. (Which is why I personally usually try to give a moderately specific straight clue. Different clue styles, &c &c. This is fine and probably cleverer clues than mine. ) hS |

I am at the same stage as Huinesoron - stuck at loan and talon.
Only possibility I see for the password is HUAN, but maybe it's an elvish word and not Huan at all.

Huinesoron is close with HOTH, if you do some vowel-swappin'.

Not at all. It was challenging. Not an easy feat when we have all written and solved so many, and on so many different themes.

1. Note, more lowly he sounds.
2. Befuddled elephant sings differently for him. 3. Events a royal initially disturbs, ever so slightly, reveal her. 4. Jaws's unsung spying organ? Not just a hungry predator, though. Actually evil. 5. Send the remainder back! Surround the pen fluid! Adjust very slightly for him. 6. Elver's parent sings at this time, although a little out of sync, for her. 7. He joins Elizabeth Windsor, once one jumps out to the front.
