The only anagram I can find is DEAN DOWLING - and Google says he's a character in a soap opera I've never heard of called "Fair City" and described by IMDB in the main review as "one star, Bucket of Cr@p" so I doubt it's that...

Fair City is a soap about Dublin that was huge when I was a teenager. It's massively depressing, poorly acted, and should be filed under "Plague, avoid like the". Oh, and it possesses possibly the most annoying theme tune ever. My Mum loved it, I think she still watches it.

My mother used to watch the original "Crossroads", so I know how you feel...

I see your Crossroads and raise you River City, Glasgow's answer to Acorn Antiques, without the humour. No stereotype unrepresented, no scene underacted.

But does the scenery wobble when the "actors" walk past it?

Maybe not, but can you guess what the occupation of (until recently) the only gay male character is?

In this case 'order' does not indicate anagram, think holier.

"Order" always indicates anagram in crosswords.

OK, I wasn't aware of that, many apologies. Shall I let it run then or just give my answer and hand it over to someone else tomorrow?
|
|

I think you have to give the solution after 3 hours. But that also means you are up tomorrow as well.

... except when it means "order."

Well, it's obviously a religious order of the xxxxxxinian variety, but I'm stuck on what "golden wind" might be.
|
|
|
|

'My' answer was Augustinian.
Golden - Au
Wind - gust
trendy - in
Scotsman - Ian
And of course the Augustinian's are a holy order of monks.
That'll teach me to be a smart ar5e  .
