[bibblebub]

thank you

[kayakamina]

Thanks as always MM.

1a made the theme pretty obvious and was it necessary to give 19 checking letters?

[haggis58]

Kayakamina - did you see the solution to 2063? It turns out its was 'mister' lear rather than 'master'. I must admit I agreed with you and preferred 'master'.

Haggis 58

I hadn't noticed. Thanks for pointing it out.

I have just one left...
31 A. Stagger about street with Cockney's dog (7) ?s?ough
Have I gone wrong somewhere else? Thanks for any advice, suggestions.

[roslyn251254]

a st ound (cockney hound)

[maurice]

Thanks again, mintyman! This one was enough to give you something in your underwear (if you need that sort of thing).

[Neveracrossword]

Roslyn, thanks - am off to fix my errors.

[Germy]

Isn't the "clued light which collectively defines the unclued lights" actually itself UN-clued? Assuming it is the Down of 9 letters that I think it is...

[kayakamina]

There are TEN themed answers as per a clued down light.

[Germy]

Aha! Got it now - thanks for the nudge.

Hi

Just working through

On 19d unclued i have the letters

??ga?a?er

Is that right- I can't think of a word that could fit

[kayakamina]

DJA Your letters are correct.

If you have Bradford's Dictionary all the theme words are listed

[djawhufc]

Thanks K- I'm out and about but do have it at home so I'll look later

[novalis]

Many thanks for the link.

Hi Mintyman. Have you tried the link since the new Spectator site appeared? It redirects me from your link to the new home page - where there is no mention of the competitions or crossword. And I can't find any was of viewing old editions - I really wanted last weeks crossword as I've been away.

Thanks

Hi Foxy 33!
Type in Spectator 2065 in the search box at the top of the page and that will throw up the link for you.
