Half wits

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, poorclare - so what letter(s) go in 16 D?

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Ducksie, I think I have it now - and The Masters comes from 'these art' and the M from marvels.

[ducksie]

[ducksie]

snap NaC

[Neveracrossword]

Yes, Ducksie, between us we got it all sorted!

[poorclare]

Yes I had half wits was just pointing out where the T came from
so that means The Masters would fit

[poorclare]

Yes indeed Ducksie, must admit I had palpitations when I went
shopping this morning in case the Police stopped to tell me
RTE Guide was not an essential item.
Hope You, Neveracrossword and Mallyh have a pleasant evening.
Keep safe

Clare xx
