Oh I see.... a costard is an apple used in Richard III and metaphorically means a mand head in New york?
This is obviously a typographical error whereby 'Big Apple' should not have been in capitalised. Someone should write to Hugh stevenson and get this compiler off the books!! Rubbish crossword
Chambers a large kind of apple ; the human head
I have less of a problem with Big Apple now, but more with Fellow Actor and director which is I think is a poor clue An actor is not necessaarily a star and the use of single letters is just irritating
