Now onto the Spectator - which I barely understand the instructions:
"The unclued lightsare of a kind. Ignore one accentin an unclued lightand another in the working of 13 across"
It means that a lot of the puzzle has no clues but once you have got 13 across a theme will be revealed and you should (in theory) be able to complete the unclued ones.
