Thanks Lindsay. Your prize is another question!

Might take one to Capri! (7)

APRICOT

it's an anagram of to Capri.

As a cryptic crossword "doer" these are more sort of quirky than properly cryptic. Hence here "Might take one" is not really indicating an anagram. Neither is !

Sorry, that's my bah-humbug bit, and my weak excuse for not knowing any of the other answers.
