Good morning, fellow puzzlers.
A lovely puzzle today, perfectly pitched for a Thursday. A smattering of general knowledge is required on television programmes, pop music from the 80s and 90s, a film from the 70s, football, cricket, tennis and one other sport. All completely fair and above board, of course. 21d was my CoD but I thought the Quickie Pun was pants. I’ll get my coat…
In the blog below, the definition element of each clue has been underlined, anagrams are CAPITALISED and the crossword technique “indicator words” are in brackets. The answers are concealed under the “Click Here” buttons. Please leave a comment telling us how you got on and what you thought of the puzzle. Please also try to be positive – it’s only a bit of fun.
Many thanks to our mystery setter and to the DT Crossword Team.
