Nick I suppose is the other 'thief' possible synonym if it's not Rob...
Thought the dancer could be 'belly' which gets mixed up to ------y Bell? |

Fred was close (with his first guess) for the first part, and I've messed up on the second
- in true Countdown style, I used one of the letters twice, which I think would make it impossible to work out, so I'll tell you you need to add an 'r' to get the exotic dancer sound-alike synonym - and it's probably not so exotic as a belly dancer, maybe more erotic...Hope I haven't totally messed up and that it is gettable, I've never done cryptic clues before Oh and not a tennis player Fred! Maybe if Nicky Bell is a real person I ought to pretend that's who I meant...

Robber = Robert if Robin was close maybe then?
Is 'pole' a keyword for the dancer perhaps? |

Pole dancing is too modern - think more old-fashioned, working-mens' clubbish perhaps

'Endless bore' = Bor, then 'is' to make Boris. 'Starting block' might be the 'B' in Becker? Not sure about 'point to', it must be the 'e' but I dont know why? 'hollow crack' - 'ck' 'End of queue' = 'e', then the 'r' from 'right'? |
