Ah, thanks both! I can see it now. My middle crosser was wrong (I had an A). I assumed that the answer might be the outer covering of the food item assiciated with the final word of the clue.

Cheers both

Interesting that, for 20d, the only anagram that Chambers gives is the solution that I originally had which gave me the incorrect crossing letter for 22a. All done now though.

No theme for me, even though I've been told there is one. It might help if Brendan would explain what TMR is.

In my opinion, yes. I think misdirections via punctuation, capitalisations, etc are all fair game for the setters. I'm pretty sure that 'nice' is regularly used to indicate French.

Chris (again) - look up 8a in Chambers.

That is surprising, simond9x. I would have thought the answer was much more common, e.g. in the context of bridge bidding

I should have said poker, not bridge …

I agree, quisling. I only looked in Chambers after being corrected on the forum. I expected to see (at least) 2 entries.

Chris, TMR is a children’s program of old, hence why you need to be of a “certain age”. You may qualify.

Thanks Jono. I do remember it, but still can only see one and a half themesters!
