I know it`s early, but I thought I`d start the thread with the title someone suggested. I`d be interested to see what people have for 2d. I have an answer but have never heard of the programme. Best wishes to all, M.

Hi Magworth and good morning all.
My answer to 2d gives the idea of a direct
line in a particular direction.
I have finished the puzzle all but 18d
which is driving me up the wall!!
With best wishes,

Any possibility you might give us the clue; any latters you have and the answer. Then we might be able to help. Nat everyone here will have that particular mag.

Morning all
I've only just started 10 mins. ago, so only an 8th done so far. But looking at 18d I have no idea at all! Maybe a coffee will help.
See you later :)

Navigator:
I hope you are doing well. I think I have an answer for 18d (coffee working)
Japan = J + a + sun(star) reversed. What do you think?

Thanks Navigator - I`d made an anagram out of `Shout Out`. had the 2nd word right. My kids used to love that programme.
I`ve finished all but 18d. It`s always those pesky 5-letter ones !
`Entrancing god from Japan, a star turn`.
-a-u-. I think we should wait - many people won`t even get the RT until at least tomorrow. M.

Jazzgirl. Your reply crossed mine. Of course !!
I tried everything but without the J. I know you`d be the one to get it! M.

Finally finished. Can have lunch now.
Magworth, I had trouble with 2d as I'd never heard of the TV prog. and 14a took me the longest (I was on the wrong religious track) !
Hope Wee Jock finds us and maybe Pipesmoker, old gal and caravaggio are well and will check in.

Thanks Jazzgirl.
The import of the word "entrancing" now
becomes clear.

I wondered about `entrancing` - I see it now. A clever clue. I enjoyed this week`s puzzle. Hope others did, too.
How many of us are worried about lack of rain I wonder, while others have a surfeit? I`m in the first group. The garden`s looking a bit sad. M.
