Hi mazie - this crossword is from Private Eye magazine, often referred to as 'the Eye', published fortnightly @ £1.20. Treat yourself to Issue 431 using these answers to start you off although you'll be too late for the £100 prize but perhaps next time! Be warned this is always a tough puzzle and risqué in the extreme. The Editor is of course the infamous Ian Hislop, the most sued man in English legal history! Regards, ja.
