thanks, i find it hard to believe that the parse given for loco could be right, considering that the brain games crossword is pretty straightforward?

I’ve managed at last to get a reply. The correct clue should read
“Parasitic insects cut, losing head”. L?C?
Simples

Because it's their mistake, I'm sure they will ignore that particular answer; and it doesn't affect the actress's name.

Thanks, rayjack. So has the Telegraph confirmed that they have voided this clue, meaning that 'wrong' answers will be disregarded? That is their usual way in such circumstances.

dannyk13

Just had confirmation of the correct clue. Entries entered with a blank or an incorrect answer will be accepted.
