DT Prize last one

Last one - 19d is it Hot Line or Wire? Me thinks the former. The Hot is right with 18a being Chas for Charlie tolerates alternative form of his name

Top level communication is something selling well Hot -i-e

Thanks

What on earth is 1 down?

[Oldred]

I've gonr for hpt line

1d Chapl(a)in

[Oldred]

should read 'gone for hot line'

[patsyjmdc]

Thanks Oldred - was thinking along wrong lines

[boxtops]

I'd say Hotline - means a phone line straight to the top, you also have a "line" of goods in a shop. Hot wire (IMO) is to start a car without an ignition key!
