So only my second post here. Thanks for all the comments. I've completed, just struggling to parse 10a. Must be straightforward as hasn't attracted much comment. I understand the star reference and so the second letter must relate to first two words of clue, but I don't understand why. Any help?

It's a single letter that means a perfect match.

Quick big thank you to Brendan & everyone who helped me get started on this one yesterday afternoon. 14A made me chuckle.

That works too but I think what I said was what they meant in the clue.

i don't think so, because you wouldn't need "essentially"

Thanks, all, for the direction to Tramp's very good Fawlty T crossword. I've virtually finished it but can't parse the famous Must've answer.

Hi Barry,

I'm going to do the Fawlty Towers crossword later tonight, it looks a very good one so I'm looking forward to that.

The "Must've " clue is a 4 letter word for "think" outside of the 2 letters for "box"/TV/television
