Thank you very much. Maybe this crossword is a bit clever for me. I will keep working on it though.

Themed crosswords aren't the easiest thing to start with :-) Why not go on the Guardian website and try some of the earlier (normal) prize cryptics?

Hi rotherhamlass, glad I could help - you might have picked a tricky one to start your Guardian experience with :-)

Anyhoo, 4 days after the puzzle's publication, I don't think it's unreasonable to post the link below.

I'd suggest you open it if you get stuck in the theme again, it will be helpful to you, though it doesn't contain *everything* you need to finish the themed clues... :-)
