surprised the Times didnt come up with a special for No 1000.
So Use the 10 digits (0-9) once only with added arithmetical signs (+,-,x,/etc) to give the answer 1000

The solution to the three down clues in the middle of the grid (6, 20 and 45 Down) of The Times Jumbo Crossword number 1000 read JUMBO CROSSWORD JUBILEE

The dictionary definition of jubilee is a time of great joy and celebration.

Is that not special?
