Spectator 2435

[pomona]

How are the unclued connected please? I don't have a Brewer ( though wouldn't know where to look anyway as i can't see a connection) . I have 2 names, 2 from greek myth and a few others which seem random? Have tried googling some of them but no luck.....

[dannyk13]

I have a Brewers, what do you want to check ?

[brainiac]

so have I, and some time to spare.....

[pomona]

possible unclued answers richard gibson john decker andromeda hebe ......

[tedsgran]

I do have a Brewer but no idea where to look

[dannyk13]

Richard Gibson is an actor best known for Herr Flick in Allo Allo
John Decker is a character in tv series Lucifer.
Hope this helps.

[dannyk13]

Andromeda & Hebe are goddesses and Lucifer is a Latin name for Venus also a goddess, but can't see how Flick is connected.

[tedsgran]

Saw this reply on Crossword Forum if it helps

'Little' is the key, put some lateral thinking into your scanning of Brewer's!

Ungoogleable!

[KT17]

It's not Hebe and its a different Richard Gibson!

[KT17]

...and a different John Decker!

[dannyk13]

Oh dear! Looks like I wasn't much help.Sorry.

[ProfessorMaisie]

As you don't have the book you're unlikely to find all of these on the net, pomona (so, if you just want answers I'm happy to help).

[ProfessorMaisie]

...by the way, I don't have the book either - I had to ask someone who does (and there looks be an ambiguous entry!).

[KT17]

PM which is the ambiguous entry?

[Nical]

KT17, in case PM isn't around … 41 A.

[ProfessorMaisie]

Yes, Nical/KT17 - the second name with either 'e' or 'u' (but, I haven't the book, so can't say I've seen it myself).

[KT17]

Decker or Ducker, I had missed that. Thanks PM

[pomona]

Thank you ProfessorMaiaie .. i got the answers from a friend ...it didn't help that the title was wrong... i might have guessed at the theme if i'd had "a little puzzle"

[ProfessorMaisie]

I'm glad you have a pal with the book too, pomona. I had the correct title and it didn't help me that much but if I'd known there was misprint going around I'd have mentioned it (luckily, tedsgran helped with that).

[Emmceeyell]

Found this a "little" difficult: would not have known a single of the unclued answers without BDOP&F.... so not impressed....

[ProfessorMaisie]

I agree with you Emmceeyell, it looks like a cynical attempt to get people to buy the book as a Christmas present - not impressed!
