There is a very long quote running right round the outside of the crossword (probably not a real quote), I have all the available letters. It also includes 2 full stops.
Here goes:

AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED MY *B***A*I*S *E*E ONLY ** *O *O *O** *HEN ONE OR TWO *A*E* I* EACH ** THE *E*S*A*E*S * P*O* S*O*.

The crossword gave all the letters necessary at the bottom - it was just a matter of ticking off the ones you have and then trying make words out of what 's left (with what's in the grid). You have quite a few of the words already, so will be able to remove some of the letters. (Your 'e' at 'hEn' is wrong).

Not done this one yet, but possibilities for the 2 longish words could be OBITUARIES and NEWSPAPERS??

I'm so intrigued by that imaginary quote on obituaries, I wonder if one of you could just post it for me here complete sooner or later?? You could wait till it's too late to enter. It's just that I don't want to do the whole thing myself at all (& of course don't have the list of letters ), but when I googled Premature Obituaries & discovered one guy actually died of reading his own obituary, I thought what a marvellous subject for British humour again, and got hooked!

I've removed the 's' so link might work

As far as I am concerned my obituaries were only so-so - no more than one or two pages in each of the newspapers. A poor show.

It's supposedly Michael Winner, I found the "..so-so, no more.." part very confusing.

I got to the same answer for the quote and person. The so-so bit was the last bit I got too - process of elimination with the letters left over.

Still struggling with about 6 clues to complete the board. Any ideas on 22 across
