Mant thanks ixion. I must have gone wrong, but I can't see where. 24ac doesn't make any sense now if it ends in a "c". I've taken 12dn to be the clue which "suggests the theme", but I still can't make the connections.

24a does end in c - one of the 12D which also includes 9a and 23d

peterm, they are all 'one of us'. See same position in the other grids.

Thanks again ixion, and teenieleek. The penny has finally dropped! I didn't know all the names in the first place, which doesn't help. Time for a glass of wine...
